Ischemia/reperfusion injury(I/RI) is the major cause of acute renal failure and delayed graft function(DGF) unavoidable in renal transplantation. Enormous studies on ischemia damage playing a role in activating graft rejection factors, such as T cells or macrophages, are being reported. Present study was performed to determine whether ischemia time would play an important role in activating rejection-related factors or not in rat models of I/RI. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were submitted to 30, 45, and 60 minutes of warm renal ischemia with nephrectomy or control animals underwent sham operation(unilateral nephrectomy). Renal function and survival rates were evaluated on day 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7. Immunofluorescence staining of dendritic cells(DCs), natural killer(NK) cells, macrophages, B cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were measured on day 1 and 7 after renal I/RI. Survival rates dropped below 50% after day 3 in 45 minutes ischemia. Histologic analysis of ischemic kidneys revealed a significant loss of tubular architecture and infiltration of inflammatory cells. DCs, NK cells, macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were infiltrated from a day after I/RI depending on ischemia time. Antigen presenting cells(DCs, NK cells or macrophages) and even T cells were infiltrated 24 hours post-I/RI, which is at the time of acute tubular necrosis. During the regeneration phase, not only these cells increased but B cells also appeared in more than 45 minutes ischemia. The numbers of the innate and the adaptive immune cells increased depending on ischemia as well as reperfusion time. These changes of infiltrating cells resulting from each I/RI model show that ischemic time plays a role in activating rejection related immune factors and have consequences on progression of renal disease in transplanted and native kidneys.
