Mitomycin C가 생쥐 콩팥소체의 미세구조에 미치는 영향 = Fine Structural Changes of the Renal Corpuscle of the Mice following the Administration of Mitomycin C

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The experiment was performed to study the morphological responses of the renal glomeruli of the mice after administration of mitomycin C. Healthy adult mice weighing about 25gm each were divided into normal and experimental groups. Mitomycin-C(400㎍/kg) was injected subcutaneously to the animals every other day, and animals were sacrificed at 4 days or 6 days following the first injections. Pieces of tissues were taken from renal corticies, prefixed with 2.5% glutaraldegyde- 1.5% paraformaldehyde(0.1M Millonig's phosphate buffer, pH 7.), and followed by post-fixation with 1% osmium tetroxide(0.1M Millonig's phosphate buffer, pH 7.3). Fixed blocks were dehydrated with alcohol and acetone, embedded in araldite mixture, cut with LKB V-ultrotome. The ultratihin sections stained with urany1 acetate and lead cirtrate were observed with a JEM 100CX-Ⅱ electron microscope.
In the fourth and seventh day following the first injection of mitomycin C, components of the renal glomeruli of the mice are looked compact since they were filled with the widened the mesangium, and showed narrowing lumen of glomerular capillaries and of urinary spaces. The electron densities of the lamina rara interna and the lamina rara externa were similar to the density of the lamina densa and the expanded lamina rara interna were often seen. and the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum of the podocytes were slightly swollen, whereas flattened cisternae of the Golgi complexes were frequently observed.
From the above results, it was suggested that although small amount of mitomycin C(400ug/Kg) may give damages on the fine structure of the renal glomeruli of the mice.
