2,000 known rat genes. A reference hybridization strategy was utilized to define a 99.9% interval and to identify 16 genes that were persistently altered after recovery from I/R injury (12 were upregulated and 4 were downregulated). Real-time PCR verified the altered expression of six of eight genes that had been positively identified. Several genes that were identified had not previously been evaluated within the context of ARF. S100A4, a specific marker of fibroblasts, was identified in a population of interstitial cells that were present postischemic injury. S100A4-positive cells were also identified in tubular cells at earlier time points postischemia. Genes associated with calcification, including osteopontin and matrix Gla protein, were also enhanced postischemic injury. Several proinflammatory genes were identified, including complement C4, were enhanced in postischemic tissues. Conversely, renal kallikrein expression was specifically reduced in the postischemic kidney. In summary, genes with known inflammatory, remodeling, and vasoactive activities were identified in rat kidneys after recovery from ARF, some of which may play a role in altering long-term renal function after recovery from ARF. ischemia; acute tubular necrosis; microarray
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats is widely utilized to study ARF. This model is characterized by a rapid increase in vascular resistance, inflammation, and tubular epithelial cell damage (11, 29). Morphologically, the injury is most obvious in pars recta but may also be present in cortical proximal tubule and distal nephron segments. ARF in rats is reversible, and the recovery response is characterized by the restoration of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and remodeling of the renal tubular system (21, 29).
However, there are persistent alterations in renal function postischemic injury. Postischemic animals have a permanent compromise in urinary concentrating ability associated with a reduction in renal medullary tonicity (5). In terms of renal structure, we have reported that there is a permanent reduction in the number of renal microvessels after recovery from ARF at all time points analyzed, demonstrating that the renal vascular system has little regenerative capacity (5). Moreover, despite the renal regenerative response, postischemic animals gradually develop manifestations of secondary chronic renal disease such as proteinuria and interstitial fibrosis (5, 34), which become apparent at later time points after the initial recovery response. A secondary loss of GFR is observed after recovery from ARF with a solitary kidney (3, 9, 34). Thus between 4 and 8 wk post-I/R, kidneys have largely normal structure and function but are prone to develop secondary disease at later time points.
The development of secondary chronic renal failure (CRF) after recovery from ARF is largely unexplored. Among the potential factors contributing to CRF may be persistent renal hypoxia after recovery from ARF, due in part to the alterations in vascular structure (3). It has also been suggested that the genesis of fibrosis occurs secondarily to atrophy in a subpopulation of damaged nephrons (34), is enhanced by renal angiotensin II activity (33), and may occur after the establishment of a fibrotic cell type and/or persistent inflammation (9, 17).
The purpose of this study was to characterize a molecular basis for susceptibility of CRF after ARF. The aim was to identify alterations in renal mRNA expression profiles between normal (i.e., sham-operated control rats) and rats after recovery from ischemic ARF but before the subsequent development of secondary disease. Utilizing a customized cDNA microarray containing 2,000 known rat genes, we employed conservative analysis strategies and an experimental design to minimize the effect of gene expression associated with early injury or repair processes of this model. Using this approach, we anticipated that several genes would be identified with the potential to influence hemodynamic, inflammatory, and fibrotic processes in the subsequent development of renal disease. The identification of such genes might prove useful in developing future studies aimed toward understanding CRF progression after ARF.

Care of the rats before and during the experimental procedures was conducted in accordance with the policies of the Animal Resource Center, Medical College of Wisconsin, and the National Institutes of Health guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals. All protocols had received prior approval by the Medical College of Wisconsin Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Harlan, Madison, WI; 250 g) were housed in pairs in standard shoebox cages with a 12:12-h light-dark cycle (lights on 0600–1800) and access to water and standard laboratory rat chow (0.8% NaCl, Purina) available ad libitum. Animals were anesthetized with ketamine (100 mg/kg ip) for 10 min, followed by administration of pentobarbital sodium (25–50 mg/kg ip). ARF was induced by performing bilateral renal artery clamping for 52 min, followed by reperfusion according to procedures previously described (5, 6). After ischemia, reflow was verified visually, and the animals were allowed to recover for various periods of time according to the experimental protocol, as described below.
Study group I. This group comprised animals that were allowed to recover for 35 days postischemic or sham surgery. This group was used for the isolation of the total RNA that was applied to microarrays in this study.
Study group II. This group comprised animals that were treated identically to group I but were allowed to recover for 3, 8, or 35 days postsurgery. This group was utilized for additional verification of gene expression patterns and immunohistochemical analyses.
Measurement of Renal Function and Harvesting of Tissue
Renal functional parameters were measured at 24 h and 35 days. Tail blood samples (0.5 ml) were collected under light halothane anesthesia into heparinized tubes, and plasma was obtained after centrifugation. Urine collection was done for 24 h in metabolic cages (Nalgene). Serum and urine creatinine were determined using standard assays (Sigma creatinine kit 555A). Urine volume was determined gravimetrically.
All animals were killed between 0900 and 1200. At the time of death, animals were deeply anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine/acepromazine (2.0/0.6/0.3 mg/kg). The kidneys were removed and cut bilaterally; one-half of the kidney was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –70°C for subsequent biochemical analysis. In group 2 animals, tissue was fixed by immersion in 10% buffered formalin for subsequent immunohistochemical analysis.
Construction of Known Rat Gene cDNA Microarrays
The cDNA microarrays that were utilized in this study have been described previously (26). These arrays contained 1,871 genes, of which 1,687 were clones purchased from Research Genetics (Huntsville, AL) and 184 cloned in our own department or purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA). The vast majority of these clones represent currently known rat genes that have been assigned defined names and in most cases have some known function. PCR products from these clones were diluted with 50% DMSO and spotted in duplicate using a four-pin arrayer (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) on micro-glass slides (Corning Glass Works, Corning, NY) that had been coated with poly-L-lysine. The slides contained negative control spots including DMSO, PCR buffer, PCR buffer with primers, vectors, and Arabidopsis genes that were printed on different areas throughout the slide. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and 
-actin were also printed in several areas throughout the slide. Printed slides were UV crosslinked, blocked with succinic anhydride, and stored in the dark at room temperature.
cDNA Labeling and Microarray Hybridization
Total RNA was isolated from whole kidney using Ultraspec RNA isolation reagent (Biotecx) according the manufacturer's recommendations. Total RNA (50 µg) was reverse transcribed to cDNA in a reaction primed with 2 µg of oligo-dT12-18. Reverse transcription was carried out using SuperScript II RT enzyme (Invitrogen/Life Technologies) at 39°C in the vendor-supplied buffer that was supplemented with 500 µM dATP, dGTP, dCTP, 40 µM dUTP, and either 40 µM Cy3-dUTP or 40 µM Cy5-dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). Microarrays were processed and hybridized using a two-color (Cy3 and Cy5) method with dye switching as described previously (24, 26).
Experimental Design and Data Analysis
Rats were paired for experimental analysis according to the schema shown in Fig. 1. A total of six postischemic animals were paired with six sham-operated control animals. Comparisons were made by using dye switching for each pair, for a total of 12 hybridizations. In addition, six within-group comparisons were utilized from the sham-operated control group for determination of the reference distribution. Dye switching was not necessary for within-group comparisons, since two rats of each pair were considered identical.

Raw data from Imagane 4.01 from the 18 hybridizations were uploaded to the Gene Expression Ominbus (GEO) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/; the series accession number is GSE1714.
Real-Time PCR
FAM-labeled primers (Lux primers, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) specific for each of the genes of interest are shown in Table 1. Real-time PCR reactions were carried out on an ABI Prism 7900HT (ABI, Applied Biosytems, Foster City, CA) using a TaqMan One-Step RT-PCR Master Mix Reagents Kit (ABI) according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Real-time reactions were carried out simultaneously for 18S RNA in parallel wells. Standard curves (0.15–80 ng total RNA) were generated using pooled RNA samples from control rats for both 18S RNA and the mRNA for the genes of interest to determine the relative fold-change between sham-operated and postischemic kidney.
|
Sequence verification of clones of interest was carried out by PCR amplification and subsequent sequencing using BDT chemistry (Applied Biosytems). Retrieved sequences were then subjected to BLAST searches for verification of their identity.
Immunohistochemistry and Western Blotting
Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were utilized to further characterize the expression of some of the genes of interest. Primary antibodies utilized in this study were rabbit anti-S100A4 (Dako), goat anti-C4 (Dako), and rabbit anti-matrix Gla protein (MGP; two different antibodies referred to as COV-2 and MGP-1225; a generous gift from Dr. Gerard Karsenty, Baylor University, Dallas, TX). The osteopontin (OPN) antibody (MPIIIB101) was developed by Dr. Michael Solursch and Ahnders Franzen and was obtained from the Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank developed under the auspices of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and maintained by the University of Iowa, Department of Biological Sciences. Immunohistochemical localization was carried out on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues using a standard indirect avidin-biotin-horseradish peroxidase method (Zymed, South San Francisco, CA); an antigen retrieval step of microwaving slides in 0.1 M citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10 min was utilized for S100A4. Either AEC or DAB was utilized as the chromogens for horseradish peroxidase localizations. The procedure and antibody utilized for the immunohistochemical localization of kallikrein were described previously (38). To quantify kallikrein, images (x40 magnification) of the cortex from each section (Sham and ARF) were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse-600 microscope and Nikon DXM1200 digital camera. The kallikrein-immunoreactive area in each image was determined by image analysis using Simple PCI software (Compix). The values corresponding to total immunostained (brown) cells were averaged and expressed as the mean absolute values and the mean percentage of stained cells area per field (0.064 µm2) with a modification of a previously described method (44, 48). Western blot analysis for complement C4 was carried out on kidney tissue extracts prepared as described previously (4).

Rats were subjected to I/R injury or sham surgery and allowed to recover for 35 days. This recovery period was chosen because it is associated with functional and morphological recovery from injury but precedes the manifestations of secondary renal disease such as overt fibrosis, proteinuria, or elevated arterial blood pressure (3, 5). Functional data are shown in Table 2. Plasma creatinine values were significantly elevated by 24 h postischemia but returned to values seen in sham-operated controls within 1 wk. Postischemic animals at 5 wk of recovery manifested a significant diuresis, which is consistent with our previous reports using this model (3, 5) (Table 2).

2,000-gene rat cDNA microarray was used to compare the relative mRNA expression in total kidney of postischemic recovered rats vs. sham-operated control rats as shown in Fig. 1. Individual samples from the sham-operated group were hybridized and compared with each other to generate a reference distribution of ratios and determine the variance of the biological and experimental platform (25). The Ln(ratio) values obtained from the six microarrays from the sham vs. sham comparisons were averaged for each gene; averaged ratios were included if detectable and of good quality in a minimum of four of the six comparisons. Ratios were obtained from 811 genes in these hybridizations; the averaged Ln(ratio) values followed a normal distribution with a SD of 0.138 (Fig. 2).

1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinease-1] had prolonged enhanced expression after ARF (6). Real-time PCR was also used to measure the expression of an additional gene in Table 3 (i.e., sgk), the single clone in this experiment that could not be sequence verified. Real-time PCR analysis did not detect differences in sgk. In addition, three other genes that did not reveal differential expression by microarray (VEGF, p27kip, and Glb) were not differentially expressed as indicated by real-time PCR analysis (data not shown).
Initial Characterization of Genes Differentially Expressed After I/R
Four genes that have not previously been examined in the setting of ARF were selected for further characterization on the basis of their potential involvement in progressive fibrosis, inflammation, and/or vascular reactivity. Real-time PCR analysis was carried out on RNA from tissues at a time point early in the injury process, i.e., 3 days postischemia. There were directionally consistent alterations in the expression of these genes at this early postischemic time point compared with sham-operated controls [Ln(ratio) complement C4, 0.5; S100A4, 2.1; kallikrein, –0.9; and MGP 1.9; P < 0.05, by Student’s t-test vs. corresponding sham-operated control].
Further characterization of these genes was pursued by immunohistochemical analysis. One of these genes, S100A4, has also been referred to as FSP-1 or mts-1 and is thought to be a specific marker of tissue fibroblasts (22). S100A4-like immunoreactivity was generally localized in an isolated few interstitial cells in the kidneys of sham-operated control rats but was expressed more prominently in interstitial cells of postischemic recovered kidneys. At 3 days postinjury, several S100A4+ cells can be appreciated surrounding renal tubules (Fig. 3B). There is significant resolution of tubular structure at 8 days postinjury; at this time point, occasional S100A4-positive cells could be appreciated in the tubular epithelia (Fig. 3C, arrow). At 35 days post-I/R injury, S100A4-positive cells were persistent in the interstitial area and appeared as either isolated interstitial cells (Fig. 3D, small arrow) or circumventrally around small blood vessels (Fig. 3D, large arrow). In a study conducted in parallel with the current study, we demonstrated that there was a two- to threefold increase in S100A4-positive cells in the outer and inner medulla after 35 days of recovery from ARF (42).

60 kDa, and this was not affected by ARF. The 60-kDa band is consistent with the reported size for iC4b, an inactive intermediate form of C4 (46). However, other immunoreactive bands present at much lower levels were also identified and showed modest regulation by ARF. For example, an 200-kDa fragment showed a modest enhancement after ARF, and this band is consistent with the size reported for native complement C4 (46). In addition, a band of 30 kDa that likely corresponds to the 
-chain of C4 was reduced in postischemic kidneys compared with sham-operated kidneys (Fig. 4, bottom).

2,000-gene array and a study design based on some of our previous reports, which depend on biological replication, duplicate hybridizations, and dye-switching techniques; these have been shown to increase the reliability of cDNA microarray studies (25, 26). In addition, we incorporated a reference distribution technique in which the threshold for differential expression is determined experimentally. The distribution of ratios obtained from the reference hybridizations represents the random variation contained within the biological and experimental platform used in this study. The ratios follow a normal distribution, and the use of a 99.9% interval derived from the reference hybridization would not be expected to identify more than 1 gene (of the 1,000 detectable genes) as differentially expressed. Clearly, genes that are differentially expressed may be missed in this procedure if their change in expression is smaller than the threshold cutoff determined experimentally. We chose to utilize the 99.9% threshold value to provide a minimal number of false positives at the expense of missing false negatives with moderate alterations in gene expression. The general schema resulted in the identification of 16 genes modified by I/R injury. All but one of these clones were sequence verified, and the differential expression was verified in six of eight genes tested by real-time PCR. In addition, two other identified genes had been previously reported to be differentially expressed in this model (6). In previous studies using these arrays, we demonstrated a significant correlation between microarray and Northern blotting in 62 genes, highlighting the reliability of the array format utilized (25, 26).
Whereas previous gene-profiling studies have focused on early time points after I/R (45, 50), the current study utilized a 5-wk time point after recovery from a bilateral I/R in the rat. The rationale for this approach is that renal regeneration is largely complete at this time point, being characterized by a resolution in GFR and proximal tubular structure. It must be emphasized that the postischemic kidney does not completely recover to its pristine preinjury state. Renal proximal tubules demonstrate a modest hypercellularity (21, 39). There is a diminished urinary concentrating ability, a reduction in the number of renal microvessels, and exacerbated hypoxia (3, 5). In addition, postischemic animals demonstrate enhanced pressor activity to ANG II (5). Importantly, however, this time point precedes the development of obvious interstitial scarring, proteinuria, or a secondary reduction in GFR (3, 5, 21). Whereas some identified genes may represent residual expression due to the early injury or the active deposition of renal interstitial scars, we posit that some of the identified genes may underlie alterations in the physiology of postischemic kidneys and contribute to the predisposition of progressive CRF. Therefore, it appears significant that a number of these genes were identified with the potential to modulate hemodynamics, inflammation, and ECM remodeling.
Several of these genes have been previously investigated in the setting of ARF (6, 40). Two of these, collagen IV1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinease-1, are profibrotic genes associated with the deposition of ECM. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the mRNA expression of these genes is dramatically enhanced within 1–3 days of I/R, peaks at 1–2 wk, and returns toward baseline by 4 wk (6). The expressions of these genes are at least partially influenced by transforming growth factor (TGF)- activity (6); however, the development of interstitial fibrosis is not prominent when the expression of these genes is maximal. Therefore, it is unclear whether the expression of these ECM genes at 5 wk is associated with the progressive development of interstitial fibrosis or whether they represent residual activity from the early recovery period.
It is of particular interest that OPN was identified in this study, which is well known to promote inflammatory processes associated with progressive fibrosis. OPN is enhanced rapidly in the postischemic kidney (23, 32) and may represent an adaptative response, because the disruption of the OPN gene in null mice results in more severe injury after I/R (30). In the current study, immunohistochemical staining of OPN was most apparent in tubules in close apposition to interstitial cells; however, we are unable to discern whether OPN expression in the tubules promotes the deposition of interstitial cells or whether the deposition of interstitial cells results in OPN expression. However, the persistent expression of OPN may be relevant toward the overall long-term pathology of the postischemic kidney. This possibility is further suggested by the report of Persy et al. (36) demonstrating that OPN null mice were resistant to macrophage infiltration at 5 and 7 days postischemic injury.
Besides its described role in inflammation, OPN promotes tissue calcification. Tissue calcification has been described in patients after ARF as well as in animal models (12, 13, 18, 20). MGP is a 14-kDa vitamin K-dependent protein found most abundantly in the bone and cartilage (13, 18). MGP is a binding protein for bone morphogenic protein-2 and acts as a calcification inhibitor in vivo (13, 18). MGP null mice develop extensive arterial calcification of the tunica media and cartilaginous tissue and perish within 6 wk of age. It has been suggested that upregulation of MGP at the site of calcification is in an attempt to clear calcium from the vessel wall (13, 18). Hence, the dramatic enhancement in the expression of MGP in the setting of ARF described in this study may represent a compensatory mechanism to limit the extent of tissue calcification, perhaps influenced by OPN.
The gene encoding the 9-kDa S100A4 calcium-binding protein was prominently increased in postischemic tissue. This protein has also been referred to as fibroblast-specific protein or FSP-1 and is a marker of interstitial fibroblasts or myofibroblasts that are critical in the development of interstitial scaring (22). The tubular expression of S100A4 has been suggested to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT), a process by which epithelial cells become myofibroblasts and move into the interstitial space. In the current study, immunohistochemistry localized S100A4-positive cells almost exclusively in the tubulointerstitial space. S100A4 cells were clearly resolved in interstitial fibroblasts or myofibroblasts between tubules or in association with small renal blood vessels (Fig. 3). However, occasional S100A4-positive cells were noted in the tubular epithelium at earlier time points postischemia. These data raise the possibility that EMT occurs during tubular regeneration after I/R, which may account for the expansion of the interstitial myofibroblastic cell type and contribute to the development of interstitial scarring.
However, it has also been suggested that fibroblasts may derive from blood vessels in a process termed endothelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation. Therefore, it is also reasonable to speculate that this process may occur in the setting of I/R. Indeed, our immunohistochemical localization demonstrates a large number of S100A4-positive cells in the early postischemic time period residing in the interstitial space where peritubular capillaries reside. In a recent study, we demonstrated increased interstitial S100A4 fibroblasts after 5 wk of recovery. Moreover, immunoneutralization of TGF- during recovery attenuated the increase in fibroblasts and preserved the reduction in peritubular capillary density typically observed in this model (42); the possibility that these two observations can be attributable to an effect of TGF- on the conversion of endothelial cells to fibroblasts is an important consideration that deserves further investigation.
The expression of OPN in the current study, as well as the identification of several other genes including Ig
light chain, IgE binding protein, and complement C4, suggests that the postischemic recovered kidney remains in a proinflammatory state. We suggest that the inability to suppress the inflammatory response completely after I/R is an important factor in progressive disease postischemic injury.
Indeed, complement C4 was the most consistently upregulated gene in this study. Whether complement C4 expression might impinge on the late manifestations of ARF is a possibility worthy of further consideration. It is important to note that complement C4 mRNA was also identified as a prominently upregulated gene in a model of chronic hepatic iron overload in rats using a subtraction hybridization cloning strategy (14). It was determined that C4 expression was associated with activation of stellate cells associated with increased smooth muscle actin deposition and liver fibrogenesis.
Despite the consistent enhanced expression of complement C4 mRNA in the model of renal I/R injury, it is difficult to speculate on a prominent role for complement C4 in the pathogenesis of secondary disease in this model. First, whereas complement C4 has been identified in a number of glomerular diseases, examination of C4 in different models (e.g., lupus nephritis, Heymann nephritis) suggests that it may either promote or inhibit progressive disease (10, 35, 51). Second, whereas deposition of the C4d cleavage product in peritubular capillaries is seen in humoral rejection (37), we failed to detect alterations in the immunohistochemical staining of C4d in postischemic animals (data not shown). Finally, whereas mRNA expression is clearly enhanced postischemia, there is no clear evidence for an increase in complement C4 protein expression (Fig. 4). Most of the immunoreactivity was found to be present at 60 kDa, which is consistent with the reported migration of the chain of iC4b, an inactive product, and was unchanged by I/R (46). Moreover, we detected only a modest expression of a 200-kDa band postischemia that may correspond to a native complement C4 protein.
With regard to the consideration that renal I/R might alter gene expression regulating systemic blood pressure, the most notable alteration in our study was the substantial downregulation of renal kallikrein. Kallikrein is produced in the cortical connecting tubule whereas its substrate kinninogen is synthesized downstream in the collecting tubules. These act to generate bradykinin, an NO-dependent vasodilatory factor (2, 49). There is abundant evidence that indicates that the KKS plays an important role in blood pressure regulation, salt sensitivity, and electrolyte excretion (27). Kallikrein administration to hypertensive patients reduces blood pressure, and this is more effective in salt-sensitive vs. salt-resistant individuals (2). The long-term infusion of a subdepressor dose (700 ng/day iv) of purified rat urinary kallikrein attenuates renal injury in salt-induced hypertension in Dahl S rats (47). In addition, a selective breeding scheme has been utilized to generate a kallikrein-deficient rat strain; this strain manifests polydipsia and hypertension in response to elevated Na intake as well as progressive renal scarring (27).
In consideration of the reports, we have recently determined that postischemic animals manifest a Na-dependent hypertension and accelerated secondary renal damage (Ref. 41 and Basile D, unpublished observations). It is worth noting that a reduction in kallikrein expression was recently reported by Suga et al. (43) in a model of hypokalemia-induced renal injury. The model of hypokalemia-induced injury is analogous to the model of recovery from I/R in other ways, such as a reduction in peritubular capillaries and exacerbated medullary renal hypoxia (43). The interrelationship among the reduction in kallikrein, renal hypoxia, and capillary rarefaction in the progression of renal disease and hypertension post-IR remains unclear.
In conclusion, the current study has identified a subset of genes that remains persistently expressed in the kidney after ARF. These genes provide potential insight into the altered physiological state of the postischemic kidney. Further investigation into some of these genes may illuminate the nature of the predisposition of CRF in the setting of acute reversible injuries.
