Effect of ischemic time on severity of renal injury and survival in RAR-related orphan receptor C (Rorc)+/+ vs. Rorc−/− rats. Rorc+/+ and Rorc−/− rats were subjected to either 40 or 50 min bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and allowed to recover for up to 4 days. A: serum creatinine values are shown at 24 and 48 h following I/R in Rorc +/+ and Rorc−/− rats, respectively. *P < 0.05 Rorc−/− and Rorc+/+ rats following 40 min; Rorc+/+ and Rorc−/− rats were not different at 50 min of I/R. B: representative hematoxylin-eosin-stained cross sections through renal outer medulla are shown 2 days following renal I/R. Necrotic damage was evident in all samples (arrow) and no statistically significant differences were evident. Magnification is shown. C: Kaplan–Meier survival curve is shown indicating increased mortality beginning 2 days post-I/R in Rorc−/− rats following 50 min of injury vs. Rorc−/− rats following 40 min of injury or Rorc+/+ rats following 40 or 50 min of injury. N = 7–10 per group. Note that the lines defining +/+ 40 min I/R, +/+ 50 min I/R, and −/− 40 min I/R are overlapping at 100%.
