PG - 430-437 AB - INTRODUCTION: Calcineurin-binding protein 1 (Cabin1) interacts with calcineurin and p53, but its function in renal tubular epithelial cell (RTEC) is unclear. We established 5/6 nephrectomized rats and angiotensin II-induced injury to the RTECs in vitro, to observe the expression of Cabin1 during RTEC injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy. Renal pathology and mitochondrial damage were detected by light and electrical microscope. The distribution of E-cadherin and alpha-smad were detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining. Cabin1 protein expression was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Obvious tubulointerstitial fibrosis was found in the nephrectomized rats at 8 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy, accompanied by the increasing levels of creatinine, as well as the disruption of E-cadherin and overexpression of alpha-smad in RTECs. Moreover, the mitochondria became swollen and mitochondrial cristae were disrupted and poorly defined in the RTECs. Compared to the sham-operated rats, Cabin1 protein expression was significantly increased at 8 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy, while angiotensin II-induced Cabin1 protein expression significantly increased 48 hours after stimulation in normal rat kidney epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: Injury to the RTEC and Cabin1 protein overexpression occurred in a time-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo. Cabin1 may become a potential molecular target in RTEC injury.
