Abstract

In this study, the kinetics of glomerular endothelial cells during the repair process following glomerular injury was investigated in a model of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis induced by Habu-snake venom (HSV) in rats. Intravenous injection of HSV led to a cystic ballooning type lesion at day 1. Subsequently a marked segmental proliferative lesion was observed in the cystic areas at day 5. Thereafter cellularity decreased and reconstruction of the glomerular tuft was gradually observed with time. The histological structure of the glomeruli had almost returned to normal 21 days following HSV injection. After prominent depletion at day 1, the number of endothelial cells increased rapidly and reached a plateau at day 7, not significantly different from that of the control group. Morphologically endothelial cell elongation from the vascular pole into the cystic lesion was seen together with premature capillary formation in the proliferative lesion. Accompanying the reduction of mesangial expansion, the endothelial cells gradually formed definite capillary lumens. We conclude that the mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis induced by HSV recovers to its original structural state and that the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells with accompanying capillary formation are essential for the repair process, in addition to mesangial cell proliferation.
