This study aimed to establish a rat chronic kidney disease (CKD) model by studying the effects of a high-phosphorus diet in rats that had undergone partial ligation of the renal arteries (RL). Separate groups of 10-week-old male Slc:Sprague-Dawley rats underwent RL and were fed diets with varying phosphorous levels for a period of 48 days. A marked suppression of body weight gain necessitating humane euthanization occurred on day 28 in rats that had undergone RL and were given high-phosphorus feed. By contrast, the group of intact animals on a high-phosphorus feed exhibited a slightly decreased body weight gain from day 21 and survived until scheduled euthanization. In rats with RL, hematological, blood biochemical, and histopathological analyses demonstrated the presence of CKD-like conditions, particularly in the group that were fed a high-phosphorus diet. Hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia were induced by a high-phosphorus diet in both the RL and intact groups, both of which had high levels of FGF23 and parathyroid hormone in the blood. Rats with RL on a high-phosphorus diet showed decreased hematopoiesis by the hematopoietic cell area being narrower in the medullary cavity, proliferation of mesenchymal cells and osteoblasts/osteoclasts, and expansion of the osteoid area, a furthermore generalized vascular lesions, such as calcification, were observed. These findings demonstrate that the partial ligation of the renal arteries combined with a calcium-phosphorus imbalance induced by a high-phosphorus diet serves as an animal model for CKD-like conditions accompanied by bone lesions, helping to elucidate this clinical condition and its underlying molecular mechanisms.
