PG - 115-20 LID - 10.1111/j.1464-410X.2009.08374.x [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that exposure of a renal epithelial cell line, NRK52E, to calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals (COM) would up-regulate NADPH oxidase subunit p47(phox), enhance superoxide production and increase monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and osteopontin mRNA levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Confluent cultures of NRK52E cells were exposed to COM (66.7 microg/cm(2)) with or with no pretreatment with diphenileneiodium chloride (DPI, 10 x 10(-6)m) an inhibitor for NADPH oxidase, under serum-free conditions. The conditioned medium was collected and total cellular RNA isolated from the cells, and subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was estimated by dihydroethidium (DHE) staining using a fluorescence microscope. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were used to analyse p47(phox) in NRK52E cells. RESULTS In COM treated NRK52E cells there was enhanced expression of p47(phox) and production of superoxide. COM-induced production of MCP-1 and osteopontin was significantly reduced after treatment with DPI. CONCLUSIONS While the generation of a lot of ROS might play a major role in tissue injury or death, the regulated generation of low concentration of ROS, possibly by NADPH oxidase, may represent a second messenger system for generation of COM-induced MCP-1 and osteopontin production in the renal tubules.
