| Abstract | The insulin family of peptides and their receptors influence cellular growth in very early preimplantation embryos. In this study their expression and role in renal organogenesis was investigated. By immunofluorescence microscopy and in situ hybridization, insulin receptor (IR) expression was seen in the ureteric bud branches and early nephron precursors in mouse metanephroi harvested at day 13 of gestation. The expression gradually decreased in successive stages of gestation, and it was confined mainly to renal tubules in 1-week-old mice. Similar developmental regulation of the IR and insulin was observed by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses. Addition of insulin into the culture medium at low concentrations, ranging from 40 to 400 ng/ml, induced trophic changes and increased [3H]thymidine incorporation in the embryonic renal explants, and inclusion of IR β-subunit-specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotide caused marked dysmorphogenesis and growth retardation of the metanephroi. Specificity of the antisense effect was reflected by immunoprecipitation experiments in which translational blockade of the β subunit of the IR was observed. RT-PCR analyses revealed that the α subunit of the IR was unaffected by the antisense treatment of metanephric explants. Concomitantly, de novo synthesis of morphogenetic regulatory extracellular matrix proteins, especially the proteoglycans, was decreased. Gel-shift analyses indicated a failure in the activation of c-fos promoter region binding protein(s) by insulin in the antisense oligodeoxynucleotide-treated explants. These studies suggest that insulin and its putative receptor are developmentally regulated in the murine embryonic metanephros, and they play a role in renal organogenesis, possibly by affecting other modulators of morphogenesis—i.e., extracellular matrix proteins and protooncogenes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
