It remains uncertain whether megalin participates in the reabsorption of filtered proteins with large molecular size and, in so doing, contributes to the development of tubule injury in glomerular diseases. To find answers to these questions, we utilized mosaic megalin knockout (KO) mice, which lack megalin expression in 60% of proximal tubule cells (PTCs), and were subjected to experimental induction of non-selective proteinuria. Megalin KO mice were mated with another transgenic line, NEP25. In the latter, glomerular injury can be induced by immunotoxin, LMB2, which has a specific affinity to a transgene product expressed selectively on podocytes. Megalin-KO/NEP25 mice (n=11) were injected with LMB2. Ten days after the injection, megalin-KO/NEP25 mice showed massive non-selective proteinuria and mild glomerular and tubular injury. Comparison of megalin-intact (+) vs. deficient (−) PTCs within each megalin-KO/NEP25 mouse kidney revealed that albumin, immunoglobulin light chain, IgA and IgG were preferentially accumulated in megalin (+) PTCs. Moreover, tubule injury markers, namely heme-oxygenase-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and apoptosis, were preferentially expressed in megalin (+) PTCs. These results collectively indicate that megalin plays a pivotal role in the reabsorption of small to large molecular size proteins. The study also provided direct in vivo evidence that reabsorption of filtered proteins triggers events that can lead to tubule injury.
