摘要
CD44 is observed ill ureteric bud structures and is implicated in branching morphogenesis during early mouse renal development. Healthy adult kidney demonstrates minimal CD44, but CD44 is up-regulated in renal diseases. CD44 may mediate binding of calcium oxalate crystals to tubular epithelia via the ligands osteopontin (OPN) and hyaluronan. Because 15% of premature infants develop nephrocalcinosis, developmental tubular CD44 expression might promote nephrocalcinosis. We Studied CD44 and OPN immuno-localization in developing human kidney by immunohistochemical analysis. Human renal tissue between 18 and 40 wk of-localization in ureteric buds, with gestation showed CD44 immuno-staining, decreasing with increasing gestational age; CD44 was rarely observed in developing renal tubules. OPN Was diffusely observed in proximal tubules, rarely observed in distal tubules, ureteric buds or mentanephric structures. These data Support the role of CD44 in early human nephron formation and branching morphogenesis. Rare CD44 staining in developing tubular epithelium suggests no role for CD44 in promoting Calcium oxalate adherence to tubular epithelia in premature infants. Immuno-localization of OPN in tubules supports its role in tubular differentiation, but OPN does not seem to be necessary during early nephron formation. (Pediatr Res 65: 79-84, 2009)
