Outline of Final Research Achievements

A model of kidney disease induced by adenine ingestion was used. Adenine diet intake decreased choline-type alkyl phospholipids (Alk) and increased plasmalogens (Pls) in the kidneys. Furthermore, ex vivo experiments using chronic renal surface mouse kidneys on an adenine diet revealed that in kidneys damaged by adenine-induced injury, physical stimulation increased inflammation-related gene expression and ether-type phospholipid biosynthesis rate-limiting enzyme AGPS gene expression, while choline-type Alk was decreased and an increase in ethanolamine-type Pls, indicating an accelerated conversion of Alk to Pls, and revealing part of the response of ether-type phospholipids to stress.
