Abstract
Objective: To disclose the relationship between mitochondrial morphology, density and pro-teinuria in adriamycin nephropathy rats. Method: Thirty Sprague Dawley rats of clean grade were divided into adriamycin group and control group. In adriamycin nephropathy group, rats were given adriamycin at dosage of 0.7 mg /100 g body weight by tail vein injection. The control rats received equal volume of sa-line. At 2 weeks (control group = 3, adriamycin group = 3) , 4 weeks (control = 3, adriamycin group =6) and 6 weeks (control = 8, adriamycin group = 7) after adriamycin injection, the rats were sacrificed and kidneys were harvested for preparation of ultra-thin sections. Electron microscopy was performed, and podocyte mitochondrial morphology was observed. Sterological analysis was performed on morphology and density of mitochondria in podocytes. Results: 4 weeks after adriamycin injection, the rats developed proteinuria until 6 weeks. Mitochondria in the podocytes from control rats showed ellipsoid shape. Differ-ent shaped and sized mitochondria were observed in podocytes of the adriamycin nephropathy rats. No sig-nificant statistical difference was revealed in the mitochondrial area, circumference, form factor and aspect ratio between adriamycin and control groups. Before development of proteinuria, the mitochondrial density increased significantly at 2 weeks after adriamycin injection compared with that in control rats (0.17±0.00 vs. 0.14±0.01, t = 6.173, P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the surface density of mitochondria showed an increasing trend (0.78±0.03 vs. 0.71±0.04, t =-2.526, P = 0.065). 6 weeks after adriamycin injection, the surface density of mitochondria decreased significantly compared with that in the control rats (0.71±0.11 vs. 0.87±0.12, P = 0.02) , the density of mitochondria did not change significantly. Conclusions Dysmorphic mitochondria are involved in the development of proteinuria in adriamycin ne-phropathy. The increase of mitochondrial density is an early event in the development of proteinuria. De-crease of mitochondria surface density is involved in podocyte injury and development of adriamycin ne-phropathy rats.
