Hibernators such as the 13-lined ground squirrel endure severe hypothermia during torpor followed by periodic rewarming during interbout arousal (IBA), pro-apoptotic conditions that are lethal to non-hibernating mammals. We have previously shown that 13-lined ground squirrel tubular cells are protected from apoptotic cell death during IBA. To understand the mechanism of protection, we developed an in vitro model of prolonged cold storage followed by rewarming (CS/REW), which is akin to the in vivo changes of hypothermia followed by rewarming observed during IBA. We hypothesized that renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) isolated from hibernating ground squirrels would be protected against apoptosis during CS/REW, vs. non-hibernating mouse RTECs. Isolated hibernating ground squirrel and mouse RTECs were subjected to cold storage at 4°C for 24 hours followed by rewarming to 37°C for 24 hours (CS/REW). Ground squirrel RTECs had significantly less apoptosis compared to mouse RTECs when subjected to CS/REW. Next, we hypothesized that the mechanism of protection was related to the anti-apoptotic proteins XIAP, pAkt and pBAD. There was significantly increased pAkt and pBAD expression in ground squirrel vs. mouse RTECs subjected to CS/REW. XIAP expression was maintained in ground squirrel RTECs but was significantly decreased in mouse RTECs following CS/REW. Ground squirrel RTECs in which gene expression of Akt1 and XIAP was silenced lost their protection and demonstrated increased apoptosis & cleaved capase-3 expression following CS/REW. Our findings suggest that ground squirrel RTECs are protected against apoptosis during prolonged CS/REW by the ‘pro-survival’ factors XIAP and pAkt.
