Objective To evaluate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) on the change of nephrin phosphorylation both in Ang 11-infused rat model and cultured podocytes. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were subcutaneously embedded with osmotic minipumps and randomly divided into 3 groups according to receiving either Ang Ⅱ at a dose of 400 ng· kg-1· min-1 or Ang Ⅱ + telmisartan at a dose of 3 mg· kg-1· d-1, or normal saline as a control group. Blood pressure and 24-hour urinary albumin were measured at 0 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d of the experiment. Renal histomorphology was evaluated through electron microscopy. The concentrations of Ang Ⅱ both in blood plasma and kidney were detected by radioimmunoassay. In vitro, cultured murine podocytes were exposed to Ang Ⅱ (10-6 mol/L) pretreated with or without losartan (10-5 mol/L) for different time periods. Nephrin and its phosphorylation expression were analyzed by Western blotting. The distribution of F-actin was presented by FITC-phallodin labeling. The change in phenomenon of F-actin was evaluated by cortical F-actin score index (CFS). Results (1)Ang Ⅱ- infused rats exhibited increased Ang Ⅱ concentration, significant hypertension and marked albuminuria. (2)In Ang Ⅱ-infusion group, nephrin expression was decreased (P〈0.05). Ang Ⅱ- receiving rats displayed diminished phosphorylation of nephrin. (3)In vitro, the phosphorylation of nephrin was significantly reduced after Ang Ⅱ stimulation for 3-6 hours (P〈O.05). (4)Ang Ⅱ stimulatation resulted in irregularly arrangement of F-actin followed by the redistribution of F-actin to podocyte periphery and formation of F-actin ring, in which the CFS obviously increased compared to control (P〈0,05). Conclusions Phosphorylation of nephrin is important for the survival status of podocytes. Ang Ⅱ-induced nephrin dephospholylation may be an important molecular mechanism for Ang Ⅱ-induced podocyte cytoskeleton rearrangement and foot process effacement.
