Localization ofd-amino acid oxidase mRNA in the mouse kidney and the effect of testosterone treatment
Tóm tắt
d-Amino acid oxidase (DAO), which catalyzes oxidative deamination ofd-amino acids, is known to be highly expressed in the kidney. This study was designed to examine the localization of DAO mRNA in the mouse kidney using in situ hybridization histochemistry (ISH). For comparison, ISH for mRNA of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), which is also highly expressed in the mouse kidney, was simultaneously performed. Adult, male mice which received 1 mg of testosterone propionate or vehicle injection, were sacrificed 14 h after injection and their kidneys were removed and processed for ISH. Hybridization signals for both mRNAs were exclusively located over the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule in the vehicle-treated animals. Signals for the DAO mRNA were observed at nearly the same hybridization intensity throughout the proximal tubule, whereas hybridization signals for the ODC mRNA were observed exclusively in the pars convoluta. Following testosterone treatment, ODC mRNA in the pars convoluta was expressed with a stronger intensity than that in the vehicle-injected animals. ODC mRNA was also expressed in the pars recta with a weaker intensity than in the pars convoluta. On the other hand, DAO mRNA expression was little affected by testosterone treatment. These results indicate that, although both genes are possibly expressed in the same cells, the expression of these genes is regulated by different mechanisms.
