Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) of kidneys causes acute generation of carbonyl stress. By electrospray ionization/liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (ESI/LC/MS) we measured the content of methyl glyoxal, glyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone in mouse kidney extracts following UUO. UUO resulted in elevation of these dicarbonyls in the obstructed kidneys. Furthermore, the accumulation of 3-deoxyglucosone was significantly reduced in the kidneys of mice transgenic for α-dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase (DCXR) as compared to their wild-type littermates, demonstrating 4.91±2.04 vs. 6.45±1.85 ng/mg protein (P=0.044) for the obstructed kidneys, and 3.68±1.95 vs. 5.20±1.39 ng/mg protein (P=0.026) for the contralateral kidneys. On the other hand, collagen III content in kidneys showed no difference as monitored by in situ hybridization. Collectively, DCXR may function in the removal of renal α-dicarbonyl compounds under oxidative circumstances, but it was not sufficient to suppress acute renal fibrosis during 7 d of UUO by itself.
