Purpose: To test the hypothesis that there is increased expression of several profibrotic genes, including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2), a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-1 (ADAMTS-1), and fibroblast specific protein-1 (FSP-1) in a murine remnant kidney model. Materials and Methods: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was created in 10 C57BL/6 male mice (20-25 g) by performing a right nephrectomy and ligation of the upper pole of the left kidney (remnant kidney). Animals were sacrificed 42 days and 56 days later. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, ADAMTS-1, and FSP-1 was performed in the remnant kidney. Histologic evaluation of the remnant kidney was performed using KT-67, alpha-smooth muscle cell actin (alpha-SMA), hematoxylin and eosin, and Masson' trichrome staining. Kidney function was assessed using serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine. Results: The mean serum BUN and creatinine levels at day 42 and day 56 were significantly higher than baseline (P < .05). By day 42, the mean expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, ADAMTS-1, and FSP-1 was significantly higher in the remnant kidney compared with the normal kidney (P < .05); by day 56, only FSP-1 expression was significantly higher (P < .05). There was increased fibrosis by Masson' trichrome, increased Ki-67, and increased alpha-SMA staining in the remnant kidney compared with the normal kidney. Conclusions: In the remnant kidney, there was increased fibrosis with increased alpha-SMA and Ki-67 staining and significantly increased expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, ADAMTS-1, and FSP-1.
