RESUMO
To study the effect of streptozotocin induced diabetes on glomerular basement membrane (GBM) synthesis, an isolated rat glomerular preparation has been developed, and its metabolic properties have been defined. The chemical composition of normal rat GBM isolated from this preparation closely resembles human GBM. Incubation with [U-14C] lysine leads to prompt incorporation of label into GBM and the subsequent appearance of labeled hydroxylysine. A 1-h lag before detection of labeled hydroxylysine in GBM suggests a delay in the release of GBM precursors. Significantly lower counts appeared in the nondialyzable fraction of the medium than in insoluble GBM during pulse-chase experiments, and labeled hydroxylysine accounted for a lower portion of the total counts in the medium (0.85%) than in the GBM (1.98%). Isolated glomeruli were prepared from streptozotocin diabetic rats of 4-6 wks duration. After incubation with [ U-14C] lysine recovery of label in diabetic GBM (88.98+/-8.26 nmol/g GBM) did not differ from age matched controls (82.52 +/- 8.26 nmol/g GBM). In pulse-chase experiments recovery of label in hydroxylysine of diabetic GBM (o.473 +/- 0.082 nmol/g GBM) did not differ from age matched controls (0567+/-0.065 nmol/g GBM). These findings indicate normal rates of GBM synthesis and hydroxylation of lysine residues in animals with streptozotocin diabetes.
