OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and collagen IV in renal allografts with interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) in kidney transplant recipients, and explore its relationship with transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) expression and the pathogenesis of IF/TA.
METHODS: Immunohistochemical assay and computer-assisted genuine colored image analysis system were used to detect the expression of ILK, TGF-beta(1) and collagen IV in the renal allografts with IF/TA. The association between TGF-beta(1), collagen IV and ILK, as well as the relationship between their expressions and the pathological class of IF/TA, was analyzed. 10 specimens of healthy renal tissue were used as controls.
RESULTS: The expression levels of ILK, TGF-beta(1) and collagen IV in renal allografts were significantly higher, compared to normal renal tissues (P<0.001), and the expressions tended to increase along with the increase of pathological class of IF/TA. In IF/TA group, the expression of ILK was positively correlated with the expression of TGF-beta(1) and collagen IV (r=0.976 and r=0.912, respectively; P<0.001 for both).
CONCLUSION: It is suggested that by the data that ILK might mediate the mechanism through which TGF-beta(1) promote the abnormal deposition of ECM in renal allografts with IF/TA. ILK might play an important role in the progression of the interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy of human renal allografts and the development of chronic renal allograft dysfunction.
