Background and Hypothesis • - low molecular retinol binding protein (RBP)–retinol complexes undergo free glomerular filtration and complete reabsoption by receptor-mediated endocytosis via Megalin in proximal renal tubuli (Christensen et al. JASN 1999) • - Vitamin D is finally hydroxylated during endo-lysosomal processing (Nykjaer et al. Cell 1999) • Does proximal tubular retinol deficiency influence renal tubular regeneration following ischemia-reperfusion injury?
normal PTC injured PTC RBP-retinol RBP-retinol Megalin receptors Lysosomal processing disturbed expression of receptors loss of polarity EMT? normal expression of receptors regeneration differentiation polarity RAR-RXR RAR-RXR RARE RARE TGF-ß? TGF-ß? „anti -fibrosis“ inflammation / fibrosis?
Methods • mouse model of renal tubular retinoid deficiency: • wild type (C57BL\6), RBP-KO, Megalin-KO (n=10 each) • 45 minutes ischemia by bilateral renal pedicle clamping • sacrifice at day 2 and 7 post reperfusion • renal function (creatinine level) • tubular damage scoring (debris, brush border, polarity, BM disruption) • immunohistochemistry (Ki67, CD3, FoxP3, TGF-b, ICAM-1)

Summary and Conclusion • Deficiency of renal tubular retinoid resorption • inhibits tubular regeneration following ischemia reperfusion • reduces CD3-positive T-cellinfiltration • reduces FoxP-3-positive T-regs • retinoidsmay open newtreatmentoptions in reperfusioninjuryandtransplantation
