Aminoglycosides are antibiotics commonly used to
treat life-threatening Gram-negative bacterial infections. However,
their use is hampered by their severe nephrotoxicity due to
accumulation in renal proximal tubules. Several pathways have been
implicated in the renal uptake of aminoglycosides including megalin, an
endocytic receptor in proximal tubular cells. Here, we have used mouse
models with genetic or functional megalin deficiency to explore the
contribution of megalin and other pathways to renal aminoglycoside
uptake in vivo. We demonstrate that the uptake of
aminoglycosides into the kidney directly correlates with renal megalin
activity and is completely eliminated in mice lacking the receptor.
Thus, our studies provide unequivocal evidence that megalin is the only major pathway responsible for renal aminoglycoside accumulation and
that the receptor represents a unique drug target to prevent aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity in patients.
