The active process of moving toxic and biologically active substances formed during tumor progression from the primary focus by blood and lymph flow leads to damage of distant organ. The aim of this work was to identify structural changes in the liver and kidney under the conditions of modeling distant tumor growth. For modelingВ  tumor growth, hepatocarcinoma-29 (G-29) cells were used. G-29 cells were injected into the muscle of the right thigh of CBA mice [1]. The material for research was collected after 3, 7, 13, and 30 days of the experiment. The structure of the liver and kidney was studied by the method of light and electron microscopy. Both destructive and compensatory changes in the liver and kidney were revealed in conditions of distant tumor growth. In the liver, a decrease a size of hepatocytes and concentration of organelles, as well as development of autophagy, as a mechanism for maintaining intracellular homeostasis, were noted. In the kidney at the early stages of the development of the tumor growth, structural signs of filtration barrier disorde were shown. Subsequent development of compensatory hypertrophy of podocytes and glomerular capillary endothelium, as well as autophagy in the epithelium of the proximal nephron were noted.

Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, zorov@belozersky.msu.ru Dietary restriction and ischemic preconditioning are the most efficient approaches ameliorating the severity of different pathological conditions. We investigated the protective potential of long-term calorie restriction and short ischemic preconditioning protocol in the model of acute kidney injury (AKI) in young Wistar and OXYS rats. In young rats, ischemic preconditioning, which consists of 4 cycles of ischemia and reperfusion alleviated kidney injury caused by 40-min ischemia. However, 6-month-old OXYS rats having signs of premature aging lost their ability to protect the ischemic kidney by IPC. However, CR of OXYS rats led to a significant decrease in creatinine and BUN levels after kidney ischemia, indicating significant protection.
