目的探讨血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)1型受体拮抗剂(ARB)对2型糖尿病肾病(DN)大鼠肾小球内12.脂氧合酶(12-LO)活性及P钙黏蛋白(P.cadherin)表达的影响。方法用10^-7 mol/L Ang II处理足细胞24h。采用皮下包埋的微型渗透泵给雄性SD大鼠分别持续恒速注入12-LO代谢产物12羟二十烷四烯酸[12(S)-HETE,1mg·kg-1·d-1]和AngⅡ(400ng·kg-1·min-1)1周和2周。使用高脂饮食结合小剂量链脲菌素(STZ)诱导2型糖尿病模型,大鼠模型成功后随机分为2组:DN组和ARB(5mg·kg-1·d-1洛沙坦)组。以规律正常饮食大鼠作为对照组。6周后处死大鼠,收集尿、血液,提取肾脏,用系列过筛方法分离肾小球。采用ELISA、RT-PCR和Western印迹法分别检测相关指标。结果Ang II的直接刺激可以诱导足细胞及肾小球内12(s).HETE含量增高(P〈0.01)。12(S)-HETE刺激使大鼠肾小球内AngII含量增高(P〈0.01)。与对照组比较,DN组血糖(P〈0.01)、肾质量/体质量(P〈0.01)和24h尿白蛋白明显增高(P〈0.01),但洛沙坦治疗后尿白蛋白(P〈0.05)、肾质量/体质量(P〈0.05)明显低于DN组。与对照组比较,DN组肾小球内12(s).HETE含量明显增高(P〈0.01),P.cadherinmRNA和蛋白表达明显降低(P〈0.01),但洛沙坦治疗后肾小球内12(s)-HETE含量明显低于DN组(P〈0.05),P—cadherinmRNA和蛋白表达明显高于DN组(P〈0.05)。结论AngII通过激活12-LO诱导肾小球内P.cadherin的表达下调。ARB通过抑制12-LO活性而上调DN肾小球内P—cadherin表达,从而延缓DN的进展。
Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) on 12-1ipoxygenase (12-LO) activity and P-cadherin expression in type 2 diabetic rat glomeruli. Methods Podocytes were stimulated by 10^-7 mol/L Ang II for 24 hours. 12(S)-HETE (1 mg. kg-1. d-1) and Ang II (400 ng. kg-1. min -1) were infused to rats by osmotic mini-pump for 1 week and 2 weeks respectively. Rats fed with high fat diet received low dose streptozotocin (STZ) to make type 2 diabetes and divided into 2 groups: low dose STZ (DN group), low dose STZ + ARB treatment (Losartan group). Rats fed with regular chow were used as control group. All the rats were sacrificed after 6 weeks. Urine, blood, kidney cortical tissue and isolated glomeruli by sieving method were collected at the end of study respectively. ELISA, RT-PCR and Western blotting for related target were performed respectively, Results Ang II increased 12(S)-HETE levels in podocytes and glomeruli (all P 〈 0.01). Ang II levels in the glomeruli were significantly increased by 12(S)-HETE stimulation (P 〈 0.01). Blood glucose, kidney/body weight and 24 hour urinary protein were increased in DN group compared with that in control group (all P 〈 0.01). However, urine protein, Kidney/body weight were decreased in Losartan group compared with DN group (all P 〈 0.05). Increment of 12(S)-HETE content and decrement of P-cadherin expression were observed in DN glomeruli compared with that in control group(all P 〈 0.01). These abnormalities were prevented by administration of the losartan (all P 〈 0.05). Conclusions Ang II can down-regulate glomerular P-cadherin expression via activation of 12-LO. ARB can ameliorate the progression of DN via up- regulation of glomerular P- eadherin through inhibition of 12-LO activation in type 2 DN rats.
