OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of renal tubular cell (RTC) injury and oxidative stress in the early stage of renal calcium oxalate crystal formation in a mouse model. METHODS Daily intra-abdominal injections of glyoxylate (1.35 mmol/kg/day) into 8-week-old mice were carried out over 6 days. Kidneys were extracted before and at 6, 12 and 24 h and 3 and 6 days after glyoxylate injection. Crystal formation was detected using Pizzolato staining and polarized light optical microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining and western blotting of superoxide dismutase, and 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde were carried out in order to observe oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, respectively. RTC microstructural damage and crystal nuclei formation were observed using transmission electron microscopy. To ameliorate RTC injury, mice were treated with green tea 1 week before and 1 week after glyoxylate administration. The number of crystals and RTC damage were observed and comparisons were made between glyoxylate-treated mice with and without green tea administration. RESULTS Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation were observed after 6 h. Crystal nuclei containing collapsed mitochondria and fallen microvilli appeared in the renal distal tubular lumen after 24 h. Crystals occupying the tubular lumen were detected on day 3. The number of crystals in mice receiving green tea was significantly lower than in those receiving glyoxylate alone. CONCLUSIONS RTC injury, especially mitochondrial damage, and oxidative stress induce the early stage of calcium oxalate crystal formation in mice.

D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
