Up-regulation of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and migration inhibitory factor (MIF) expression and monocyte recruitment during lipid-induced glomerular injury in the exogenous hypercholesterolaemic (ExHC) rat.

This study investigated the role of M-CSF and macrophage MIF in monocyte recruitment during the development of lipid-induced glomerular injury in the susceptible ExHC rat strain.

|
Combined in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry staining demonstrated that, coincident with the induction of hypercholesterolaemia on day 3, there was marked up-regulation of M-CSF and MIF mRNA expression by intrinsic glomerular cells (mostly mesangial cells and podocytes) which preceded monocyte recruitment.

There was a highly significant correlation between the number of M-CSF and MIF-positive cells and glomerular macrophage accumulation over the 6-week period.

Although some glomerular macrophages and foam cells exhibited M-CSF and MIF expression, the major source of these molecules was intrinsic glomerular cells.

In conclusion, hypercholesterolaemia caused marked up-regulation of M-CSF and MIF expression by intrinsic glomerular cells, which correlated with monocyte recruitment and the development of lipid-induced glomerular injury.
