Recovery from injury is usually
accompanied by cell replication, in which new cells replace those
irreparably damaged. After acute renal failure, normally quiescent
kidney cells enter the cell cycle, which in tubule segments is
accompanied by the induction of cell cycle inhibitors. We found that
after acute renal failure induced by either cisplatin injection or
renal ischemia, induction of the p21 cyclin-dependent kinase
(cdk) inhibitor is protective. Mice lacking this gene developed more
widespread kidney cell death, more severe renal failure, and had
reduced survival, compared with mice with a functional p21
gene. Here, we show induction of 14-3-3
, a regulator of
G2-to-M transition, after acute renal failure. Our
findings, using both in vivo and in vitro models of acute renal
failure, show that this protein likely helps to coordinate cell cycle
activity to maximize recovery of renal epithelial cells from injury and
reduce the extent of the injury itself. Because in terminally
differentiated cells, these proteins are highly expressed only after
injury, we propose that cell cycle coordination by induction of these
proteins could be a general model of tissue recovery from stress and injury.
