Kidney Int 61: 899\u2013906, 2002; Omori S, Kitagawa H, Koike J, Fujita H, Hida M, Pringle KC, Awazu M. Kidney Int 73: 1031\u20131037, 2008). Dysplastic epithelium is characterized by proliferation, apoptosis, and upregulation of Pax2 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-\u03b21. In the present study, we investigated whether cyclic mechanical stretching of ureteric bud cells, a mimic of the hydrodynamic derangement after fetal urinary tract obstruction, reproduces events seen in vivo. Cyclic stretch activated p38 and ERK and upregulated Pax2 expression in a time-dependent manner in ureteric bud cells. Stretch-stimulated Pax2 expression was suppressed by a p38 inhibitor, SB203580, or a MEK inhibitor, PD98059. 5-Deoxyuridine incorporation was increased by stretch at 24 h, which was also abolished by SB203580 or PD98059. On the other hand, apoptosis was not induced at 24 h by stretch but was significantly increased at 48 h. TGF-\u03b21 secretion was increased by stretch at 24 h, which was inhibited by SB203580 or PD98059. Inhibition of p38 or ERK as well as anti-TGF-\u03b2 antibody abolished the stretch-induced apoptosis. Finally, exogenous TGF-\u03b21 induced apoptosis of ureteric bud cells, which was inhibited by SB203580 and PD98059. In conclusion, cyclic stretch induces Pax2 upregulation, proliferation, and TGF-\u03b21-mediated apoptosis, features characteristic of dysplastic epithelium, via p38 and ERK in ureteric bud cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajprenal.00402.2009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,15]],"date-time":"2010-04-15T01:00:01Z","timestamp":1271293201000},"page":"F648-F655","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Cyclic
