| Research Abstract |
Since there had been no appropriate rat models for naphrosis, we attempted to start selective inbreeding of OM rats with moderate proteinuria which were found among 30 inbred rat strains collected through National Institutes of Health, U.S.A. from different laboratories in the world. The OM rats, thus established develop a marked proteinuria early in life which is progressively advanced by ageing process up to the severe proteinuria over 200 mg/day. These rats show bilateral enlargement of kidneys which light microscopically show a slight proliferative change of mesangial cells of glomeruli and dilatation of proximal tubuli with hyaline cylinders, and electronmicroscopically are consistent with minor glomerular abnormalities in minimal change nephrotic syndrome. These models were further treated with steroid hormone (Predonisolon 3 mg/kg, p.o.) but proteinuria was attenuated only temporally and rather resistant in general. In order to establishe a model with nephrotic and hypertensive renal lesions, these OM strains were cross-bred with stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) to obtain <F_1> hybrid with moderate proteinuria and mild hypertension. From the cross breeding among <F_1> , <F_2> offsprings were obtained and further the offspring of <F_2> segregate generation with moderate hypertension and a marked proteinuria has been bred. These selectively bred OM rats and SPOM rats obtained by cross breeding between OM and SHRSP are regarded as new models for "adult type steroid resistant minimal change nephrosis".
