Stx-1 (72 hr exposure to toxin) dose-dependently killed HGEN, HGEC and HPT (Figure 1).
Traditional animal models, such as mice, rats, rabbits or pigs do not develop typical renal disease when given either Stx or E. coli 0157:H7 [ 14 ] . Further, animal models that most closely reflect human HUS are only in the early stages of development [ 14 ] . Hence, the cell culture system remains the most reasonable means to assess an effect of sex steroids on renal cell Stx-1 responsiveness; such systems have clearly been demonstrated to be responsive to sex steroids (e.g.
Estrogen, progesterone or testosterone did not affect Stx-1 mediated renal cell cytotoxicity or Gb3 expression.
Although speculative, it is tempting to propose that HPT and HGEC may be early targets of Stx-1 and that this could play a role in the pathophysiologic processes that characterize renal injury in HUS.
The current study evaluated one of these possibilities, namely that renal cell Stx-1 responsiveness decreases with age due, at least partially, to hormonal changes associated with puberty.
