Objective: The subject is to investigate G1-phase dependent mechanism of hypoxic-tolerance of neonatal renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEs).

Methods: Neonatal pig’s RTEs were synchronized by the excess thymidine block technique.G1-phase cells were harvested and divided into two groups (ischemic-cell model in DME/F-12 with 10μM CN for 1 hour and preventing HSP27/70 from dephosphorylation in cantharidin) which involved in pre-ischemia and post-ischemia for 0/60/120/180/240 minutes, and set up normal control group at the same time .To control ischemic-cell model, intracellular ATP concentration was determined by capillary electrophoresis, F-actin structures rearrangements by coomassie stain and morphological by electron microcopy.Both intracellular HSP27, HSP70 and DNA fluorescence histograms of each time of three groups were determined by western blot and flow cytometry, respectively.

Results: (1) Both HSP27 and HSP70 are abundant in G1-phase than other cell-phases; (2) The number of  hypodiploid cells in hypoxic-injuried group (10.4%, 14.2%, 21.2%, 22.3%, 23.1%) was significantly higher than that of preventive group (5.5%, 8.1%, 9.1%, 9.2%, 9.0%) at post-ischemia 0/60/120 /180/240 minutes, respectively; (3) In the ischemic group, G1 period (S-phase cells were about 20.4% at post-ischemia 240 minutes) was two hours longer than that of the preventive group (S-phase cells were about 22.5%, 46.2%, 87.7% at post-ischemia 120/180/240 minutes, respectively); (4) Western blot results showed that both HSP27 and HSP70 were not significantly changed at each term of three  groups.

Conclusion: (1) G1-phase dependent mechanism of hypoxic-tolerance of neonatal pig’s RTEs is correlated with HSP27/70 abundance at  this period; (2) It plays a key role that Preventing HSP27/70 from dephosphorylation for compensatory neonatal pig’s RTEs hyperplasia to hypoxic-injury.
