Background

Autoclaved diet use has been increasing in research animal facilities due to its ability to reduce infection. The high heat generated through autoclaving could have various effects on a diet. Our goal was to determine how autoclaved-induced increases in dietary advanced glycation end products (AGE) affect properties in a model of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD).

Methods

Cy/+ (CKD) rats and normal (NL) littermates were assigned to 1 of 3 diets: autoclaved 0.7% phosphorus grain-based diet for 28 wks (AGEs), autoclaved diet for 17wks followed by non-autoclaved 0.7% bioavailable phosphorus casein-based until 28 wks (AGEs + Casein), or a non-autoclaved diet for 17wks followed by a non-autoclaved casein-based diet (non-AGEs+Casein) until 28 wks. We examined kidney function, plasma biochemistries, and intestinal gene expression (phosphate transporters, the receptor for AGE (RAGE), and NADPH-oxidases). We assessed the effects of disease (CKD vs NL), diet, and the interaction by two-way ANOVA.

Results

Autoclaved diet contained 3.5-fold more of the AGE carboxymethyllysine and 2.5-fold more methylglyoxal than the non-autoclaved diet. There was a disease-by-diet interaction on the plasma DNA oxidation marker 8-OHdG, driven by differences between the NL and CKD rats fed the AGEs and AGEs + Casein diets. AGEs diet led to increased progression of CKD that was further augmented by the casein diet (P_interaction=0.03). There was a disease-by-diet interaction on phosphorus, PTH, and FGF23 driven by the higher values in the CKD rats fed the AGEs + casein diet (P _interaction<0.05 for all). At the intestinal level, NaPi2b was 2-fold higher in the rats fed the non-AGEs + casein diet (P_diet<0.0001). Intestinal RAGE was 2- to 4-fold higher in the rats fed the AGEs and AGEs + casein diets (P_diet<0.0001). This was mimicked by a higher expression of DUOX2 (P_diet= 0.0019).

Conclusion

Autoclaved diet contains higher levels of AGE and leads to increased systemic oxidative stress and more rapid progression of CKD-MBD phenotype if combined with a bioavailable phosphorus diet. Eating an autoclaved diet also altered intestinal transporters regulating AGE, NADPH-oxidases, and phosphate. These studies highlight the critical importance of dietary aspects, including autoclaving, in the study of CKD-MBD.
