It is generally accepted that renal compensatory growth after unilateral nephrectomy (Uni) is due to prominent hypertrophy with no involvement of protooncogenes. Neither the balance between hypertrophy and hyperplasia nor the expression of the early-growth-related genes has been studied after subtotal nephrectomy (Nx). The occurrence of cystic tubular dilatations after Nx may suggest an excessive cell proliferation in this model. We measured DNA, RNA, and protein content, number of nuclei per tubular section, as well as c-fos, c-jun, c-myc, c-H-ras, c-sis, and c-erb-B2 protooncogene expression in kidneys taken at time of surgery and 2, 7, and 14 days after sham operation (control rats), Uni, or Nx. After Uni, hyperplasia was greater than expected (+79% for DNA at day 14) and was associated with moderate hypertrophy (+11% for protein/DNA ratio). After Nx, compensatory growth was due only to hyperplasia (+117% for DNA at day 14), with unchanged protein/DNA ratio (vs. Uni, P < 0.02). The greater hyperplasia after Nx was confirmed by nuclei counting. The protooncogene mRNA expression was constantly absent in control and Uni rats, whereas that of c-fos and c-jun genes was detected in Nx rats at day 14 with a 2- to 12-fold increment. The c-fos and c-jun protein levels were also increased at that time in Nx rats. This suggests the following: 1) the cellular events following Uni and Nx are not the same, and 2) the late protooncogene expression in Nx exclusively could favor a particular type of cell proliferation possibly more related with cystic formation than with actual compensatory growth.
