Ischemia-reperfusion Model of Acute Kidney Injury and Post Injury Fibrosis in Mice

We describe models of moderate and severe ischemia-reperfusion-induced kidney injury in which the mice undergo unilateral renal pedicle clamping followed by simultaneous or delayed contralateral nephrectomy, respectively. These models consistently give rise to renal dysfunction and post-injury fibrosis, but injury severity and survival are dependent on mouse background, age and surgical...

A Quantitative Detection Method for MicroRNAs in the Kidney of an Ischemic Kidney Injury Mouse Model

This article presents a protocol for detecting microRNA expression in the kidneys of an acute kidney injury mouse model using quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. This protocol emphasizes an ischemic kidney injury mouse model and the careful extraction of microRNA...

Kidney Regeneration in Adult Zebrafish by Gentamicin Induced Injury

Here we present a reliable method to study adult kidney regeneration by inducing acute kidney injury by gentamicin injection. We show that injury is dependent on gentamicin dosage and environmental temperature using in situ hybridization to label lhx1a+ developing new nephrons.
