Abstract

The induction of apoptosis by contrast media (CM) and mannitol (M) was investigated in the hearts and kidneys of 12-mo-old male SHR rats. Ten groups of 3 SHR rats received a dose of 5 ml/kg of one of the following: Hypaque (H)-30. H-60, H-76, Omnipaque (O)-140, O-350, mannitol (M)-4%, M-9%, M-19%, M-27%, or saline (S). DNA fragmentation was detected using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated [TdT] dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method, and the morphology characteristics of apoptosis were confirmed in cardiac and renal cells. The immunoreactivities of Bcl-2, Bax, and p53 were assessed immunohistochemically in the kidneys. Apoptosis occurred in cardiac myocytes and renal tubular and glomerular cells as well as in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the heart and kidneys. The high frequency of apoptosis correlated significantly with the increase in the osmolality of the H, O, and M. The increased Bax, the increased p53, and the decreased Bcl-2 immunoreactivities were detected in H- or O-treated, but not in M-treated, rats. These findings suggest that CM and M activate cardiac and renal apoptosis by different mechanisms and that the apoptotic process may be implicated in acute heart and renal damage.
