Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The number of low birth weight babies, products of intra uterine growth retardation (IUGR), is increasing in Japan. Those IUGR survivors are known to develop metabolic syndrome in adult life due to probable reduced kidney function. We studied glomerular and tubular function of 53 extremely low birth weight subjects (ELBW). Twenty five percent of subjects had glomerular dysfunction and eighty three percent of them had tubular dysfunction. We showed that maternal nutritional restriction, NR, leads to reduced ureteric branching resulted in low nephron number of rat embryos. In those embryos, DNA methylation of genes involved in ureteric branching has been changed, which may contribute to reduced nephron number and transgenerational transmission. Further, we found the kidney of offsprings from NR rats were more susceptible to ischemia and fibrosis secondary to unilateral ureteral obstruction.The results have pointed out necessity of careful follow-up of kidney function for those premies.
