| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acute kidney injury (AKI) model was induced in R26Ateam mice that expressed FRET biosensor (ATeam) to visualize intracellular ATP concentrations systemically, and its ATP dynamics in the kidney was monitored. ATP levels in proximal tubules, the most vulnerable segment in the nephron during AKI, fluctuated after injury, and the fluctuation was correlated with fibrosis after one month. These results indicate that energy dynamics in acute phase is an important indicator of kidney prognosis.
