DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Analgesic nephropathy is an important public health problem in many Western societies. The use of analgesic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is increasing. The ingestion of these agents, particularly NSAIDs, has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Renal Papillary Necrosis (RPN), the hallmark lesion of analgesic nephropathy, is a pathologic entity that is still poorly understood despite intensive research. The long-term goal of the proposed studies is to elucidate the pathologic mechanisms involved in RPN at the molecular level. We hypothesize that COX2 inhibitors (i.e. analgesics and NSAIDs) contribute to renal medullary cell death under hypertonic conditions through impairment of organic osmolyte accumulation. Our hypothesis is based on our exciting in vivo and in vitro data that show reduction of intracellular osmolyte concentrations in medullary kidney cells by COX2 inhibition and rescue of COX2 inhibitor-mediated apoptosis by osmolytes. Our hypothesis will be tested by examining the impact of COX2 inhibition on transcriptional regulation of osmolyte genes and osmolyte transporter activities in cultured mouse medullary interstitial cells (mMICs) under hypertonic conditions, as well as in mouse medullary kidney cells under dehydration in vivo (specific aim 1). We will then progress to investigate in the same model the induction mechanisms of apoptosis by COX2 inhibition and the antiapoptotic properties of organic osmolytes (specific aim 2). Finally, the role of cell signaling and nuclear signaling mechanisms involved in COX2- dependent survival mechanisms and regulation of osmolyte accumulation in mMICs will be defined (specific aim 3). RPN is a pathologic entity that is still poorly understood. The studies in this proposal address this major gap in our understanding of RPN. Our long-term goals are to gain insight into mechanistic processes that lead to this important health problem. It is necessary to understand these processes in order to design effective diagnostic procedures, therapeutic approaches and preventive measures for RPN.

描述（由申请人提供）： 镇痛性肾病是许多西方社会的一个重要的公共卫生问题。镇痛药和非甾体抗炎药（NSAID）的使用正在增加。摄入这些药物，特别是非甾体抗炎药，与显着的发病率和死亡率相关。肾乳头坏死（RPN）是镇痛性肾病的标志性病变，是一种病理实体，尽管进行了大量研究，但人们对其仍知之甚少。本研究的长期目标是在分子水平上阐明 RPN 的病理机制。我们假设 COX2 抑制剂（即镇痛药和 NSAID）通过损害有机渗透剂的积累，导致高渗条件下肾髓质细胞死亡。我们的假设基于我们令人兴奋的体内和体外数据，这些数据显示通过COX2抑制降低髓质肾细胞中的细胞内渗透剂浓度，并通过渗透剂挽救COX2抑制剂介导的细胞凋亡。我们的假设将通过检查 COX2 抑制对高渗条件下培养的小鼠髓质间质细胞 (mMIC) 以及体内脱水下的小鼠髓质肾细胞中渗透调节剂基因和渗透调节剂转运蛋白活性的转录调节的影响进行检验（具体目标 1）。然后，我们将在同一模型中进一步研究 COX2 抑制诱导细胞凋亡的机制以及有机渗透剂的抗细胞凋亡特性（具体目标 2）。最后，将定义涉及 COX2 依赖性生存机制和 mMIC 中渗透剂积累调节的细胞信号传导和核信号传导机制的作用（具体目标 3）。 RPN 是一种病理实体，目前人们仍知之甚少。本提案中的研究解决了我们对 RPN 理解中的这一重大差距。我们的长期目标是深入了解导致这一重要健康问题的机制过程。有必要了解这些过程，以便为 RPN 设计有效的诊断程序、治疗方法和预防措施。
