renal/urinary system
• mice show no signs of recovery from induced bilateral kidney injury and become moribund 7 days after injury
• all tubules of the entire renal cortex and outer medulla show abnormal epithelial architecture after injury
|
• kidney histology during the acute organ damage 12 and 24 hours after ischemia/reperfusion injury is similar to wild-type mice, however 3 days after injury, renal tubular epithelial cells leave the epithelial plane and intrude into the tubular lumen which leads to a multi-layered epithelium and complete tubular occlusion by day 7
• renal tubular epithelial cells one day after injury exhibit a mitotic spindle angle that is shifted toward divisions perpendicular to the epithelial plane
• 3 days after kidney injury, a proportion of renal tubular epithelial cells fail to align their divisions with the epithelial plane
• however, kidney morphology and function are normal under basal conditions
