Endogenous hepatocyte growth factor ameliorates chronic renal injury by activating matrix degradation pathways  Youhua Liu, Krupa Rajur, Evelyn Tolbert, Lance D. Dworkin  Kidney International  Volume 58, Issue 5, Pages 2028-2043 (November 2000) DOI: 10.1111/j.1523-1755.2000.00375.x Copyright © 2000 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and c-met mRNA levels in the kidneys of sham and remnant rats at multiple time points after renal mass reduction. (A) Representative Northern analysis results. The kidney tissue total RNA was probed with cDNA probes for rat HGF and rat c-met, respectively. The same blot was stripped and hybridized with the probe for 18S RNA to ensure equal loading. (B) Results of scanning densitometry showing mRNA abundance relative to baseline (fold induction). Data are average of four animals per time point. A biphasic induction of HGF (•) and c-met (○) gene expression is demonstrated.

Figure 2 Plasma levels of HGF protein in rats. Plasma was collected at three weeks after ablation from sham-operated, remnant given preimmune serum, or remnant given anti-HGF serum rats. HGF levels were determined using an EIA kit specific for rat HGF. Data are mean ± SE of four animals per group. *P < 0.05 vs. either sham or anti-HGF antibody group. The administration of anti-HGF antibody reduces circulating HGF to baseline levels (sham).

Figure 3 Representative light micrographs of remnant kidney tissue from rats given either preimmune serum or anti-HGF antibody. (A) The control kidney from the rat given preimmune serum shows typical, mild changes observed in rats three weeks after ablation. Segmental glomerular sclerosis involving a minority of glomeruli is present. Tubules are normal in appearance and closely spaced. The interstitium is also within normal limits. (B) An end-stage kidney from an anti-HGF antibody treated rat with global glomerular sclerosis, tubular dilation, cast formation, and increased interstitial matrix material (PAS ×200). (C) Average composite injury scores (see text for details) from remnant kidney rats given preimmune serum (□) or anti-HGF antibody ((?)). On average, the injury score was significantly increased in rats in which HGF action was blocked.

Figure 4 Representative light micrographs demonstrating collagen accumulation in the remnant kidney tissue from rats given either preimmune serum or anti-HGF antibody. The remnant kidney tissues from rats given either preimmune serum or anti-HGF antibody were sectioned and stained using the Masson-Trichrome technique to demonstrate interstitial collagen accumulation. (A and B) Control kidney tissue from a rat given preimmune serum shows mild changes typically observed in rats three weeks after ablation. Glomeruli and tubules are relatively normal in appearance and are closely spaced. The interstitium is also normal. (C and D) Kidney tissue from an anti-HGF antibody-treated rat shows interstitial expansion and increased matrix accumulation demonstrated by blue staining (arrow head) and segmental glomerular sclerosis (arrow). (A and C ×200; B and D ×400). Kidney International 2000 58, 2028-2043DOI: (10.1111/j.1523-1755.2000.00375.x) Copyright © 2000 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions

Figure 5 Immunohistochemical localization of α-SMA-positive cells in the remnant kidney tissues from rats given either preimmune serum or anti-HGF antibody. (A and B) Control kidney from a rat given preimmune serum shows α-SMA-positive cells largely limited to blood vessels. Mild staining in the interstitium is also noted. (C–F) Kidney tissue from an anti-HGF antibody-treated rat shows a dramatic increase in α-SMA-positive cells in the renal interstitium, tubules, and glomeruli (C and D). A significant percentage of renal tubular epithelial cells were found to be α-SMA positive (E and F). Some of these α-SMA-positive tubular epithelial cells appeared to migrate into interstitium (arrows in F). (A and C ×200; B and D–F ×400).

Figure 6 Specific blocking of HGF signaling in vivo by a neutralizing antibody increases renal α-SMA expression. SD rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy. Two weeks later, the rats were given daily injections of either the anti-HGF serum (α-HGF) or preimmune serum for seven days. Kidney tissue were collected and lyzed for Western blotting with an anti-α-SMA antibody. Each lane (1 through 6) in the picture represents an individual rat. The same sample was reprobed with an anti-actin antibody.

Figure 7 Effect of HGF on the net ECM accumulation by human proximal epithelial HKC cells. HKC cells were seeded on 12-well plates at a concentration of 5 × 105/well. Following a 24-hour incubation, the media were changed to a serum-free, methionine-free medium supplemented with 35S-labeled methionine. The net ECM accumulation was determined by counting the radioactivity of the ECM accumulated on culture dishes during the indicated period of time. (A) The HKC cells were incubated in the absence or presence of 20 ng/mL human recombinant HGF for 24 hours. (B) The HKC cells were incubated with either a specific anti-HGF neutralizing antibody (α-HGF; 1:200) or preimmune serum in the presence of 20 ng/mL human recombinant HGF for 24 hours. It should be noted that because the experiments were carried out in serum-free medium, the addition of either anti-HGF serum or preimmune-serum at 1:200 (0.5%) enhanced ECM accumulation (B) compared with that without serum treatment (A). Data are expressed as means ± SE of six individual culture wells. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.

Figure 8 Constitutive expression of HGF in HKC cells reduces ECM accumulation and deposition. An HGF-producing H4 cell line was established by stable transfection of HKC cells with an HGF-expression vector. Net ECM accumulation was determined by counting the radioactivity of the ECM deposited on culture dishes after 24 hours of incubation, as described in Figure 1. (A) Constitutive expression of HGF in the transfected H4 cells was confirmed by Northern blot, showing a 2.3 kb HGF mRNA expressed in H4 cells. (B) HGF protein concentration in the supernatant measured by a specific ELISA. (C) Comparison of the quantity of ECM accumulation by HKC cells and HGF-producing H4 cells. (D) The H4 cells were incubated with either a specific anti-HGF neutralizing antibody (α-HGF; 1:200) or preimmune serum for 24 hours. Data are expressed as means ± SE of six individual culture wells. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.

Figure 9 HGF does not affect the ECM synthesis rate in HKC cells. HKC cells and HGF-producing H4 cells were seeded on 12-well plates at a concentration of 5 × 105/well. The net ECM accumulation was determined by counting the radioactivity of the ECM deposited on culture dishes following 1.5 hours of incubation. Since the impact of matrix degradation is minimal during this short period of time, ECM accumulation is mainly determined by the rate of synthesis of new ECM. (A) Comparison of quantity of newly synthesized ECM by HKC cells or by HGF-producing H4 cells. (B) Effect of HGF on ECM synthesis in HKC cells. HKC cells were incubated either without (control) or with 20 ng/mL human recombinant HGF for 1.5 hours (HGF). Data are expressed as means ± SE of six individual culture wells.

Figure 10 HGF stimulates MMP-9 expression in human renal epithelial cells. Conditioned media were collected from HKC cells treated without (control) and with 20 ng/mL recombinant human HGF for 48 hours in serum-free medium. Similar quantities of conditioned media equalized for protein were loaded on a nonreduced 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The proteins were immunoblotted with a specific human MMP-9 monoclonal antibody. The location of a 92 kD band corresponding to MMP-9 is indicated.

Figure 11 HGF inhibits TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression in human renal epithelial cells. Conditioned media were collected from HKC cells and HGF-producing H4 cells after incubation in serum-free medium for 48 hours. Similar quantities of conditioned media equalized for protein were loaded on a nonreduced 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel at 15 μg protein per lane. The proteins were immunoblotted with specific monoclonal antibodies against human TIMP-1 (A) and TIMP-2 (B), respectively. The locations of the 29 kD TIMP-1 and 22 kD TIMP-2 bands are indicated.

Figure 12 HGF down-regulates TIMP-1 protein secretion in human renal epithelial cells. Conditioned media were collected from HKC cells (□) and HGF-producing H4 cells (?) incubated in serum-free medium for different periods of time as indicated. Total TIMP-1 protein (free TIMP-1 and TIMP-1/MMP binding complex) levels were quantitatively measured using a specific ELISA for TIMP-1. Data are expressed as mean ± SE of three individual culture plates. **P < 0.01 vs. control HKC cells.

Figure 13 Zymographic analysis of the conditioned media derived from HKC or HGF-producing H4 cells. Conditioned media were collected from either HKC cells or HGF-producing H4 cells. Samples equalized for protein content were separated on a 7.5% SDS-polyacrylamide gel containing 0.1% gelatin. Proteolytic activity is demonstrated by digestion of gelatin, resulting in the bands of clearing. The numbers 1 through 6 in the picture identify media collected from separate culture plates. The band below MMP-2 is likely contributed by MMP-1. Similar results were obtained when HKC cells were treated with or without recombinant human HGF (data not shown).
