Sevelamer hydrochloride suppresses proliferation of parathyroid cells during the early phase of chronic renal failure in rats.
Nephrology 2017 December 27
AIM: We examined the effects of sevelamer on parathyroid cell proliferation and secondary hyperparathyroidism in rats following induction of early-phase early phase of chronic renal failure (CRF) by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).
METHODS: For 5 days, rats in the control group received normal food, rats in the sevelamer group (SH) received control food plus 5% sevelamer, and rats in the low protein group (LP) received low protein food. Five rats of each group were sacrificed at baseline (d0). All other rats were given UUO, and 5 rats per group were sacrificed on d3, d7, d14, and d28 after UUO. Changes in body weight, serum phosphorus, calcium, intact-parathyroid hormone (i-PTH), creatinine (SCr), creatinine clearance rate (CCR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and 24-h urinary phosphorus were determined. Parathyroid tissues were removed for histological examination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive (PCNA+) cells.
RESULTS: Measurement of body weight, BUN, and SCr in the controls indicated successful establishment of this model of early-phase CRF. The controls also had remarkable proliferation of PCNA+ cells beginning on d3, but this did not occur in the SH or LP groups. After 28 days, serum phosphorus had decreased more in the SH and LP groups than in the control group, and phosphorus excretion was much greater in the control group than in the SH and LP groups. The 3 groups had similar increases in serum i-PTH.
CONCLUSION: Sevelamer rapidly lowered the serum phosphorus and inhibited the proliferation of PCNA+ cells in this experimental model of early-phase CRF.
