The renal expression of heat shock protein 47 and collagens in acute and chronic experimental diabetes in rats 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis are the main structural changes found in the later stages of diabetic nephropathy, which is clinically characterized by proteinuria, and progressive renal insufficiency. Heat shock protein (HSP) 47, a collagen-binding stress protein, has a specific role in the intracellular processing of procollagen molecules during collagen synthesis. It is implicated in the pathogenesis of various fibrotic diseases. However, the expression and significance of HSP47 in acute and chronic phases of diabetic nephropathy is not yet known. In this study, we studied the expression of HSP47 in the kidneys obtained from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, in both short- and long-term diabetes. To determine the renal expression of HSP47, and collagens (type III and IV) in acute (days 1, 3 and 14) and chronic (weeks 4, 12 and 24) diabetes, we have performed a time-course study using streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The expression pattern of alpha-smooth muscle actin (to identify mesangial cell damage), vimentin (to identify tubular epithelial cell damage), and desmin (to identify glomerular epithelial cell damage) was also determined in kidneys of these diabetic rats. Antibodies specific for HSP47, type III and type IV collagens, alpha-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and desmin were used to assess the relative expression of their proteins in paraffin-embedded kidney sections by immunohistochemistry. Compared to control rat kidneys, no significant changes in the expression of HSP47 was found in the kidneys of acute diabetic rats. However a significant increase in the expression of HSP47 was noted in the kidneys of chronic diabetic rats; increased expression of HSP47 correlated with an increased renal deposition of types III and IV collagens. Similarly, compared to kidneys of control and acute diabetic rats, an increased expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (in mesangial cells), vimentin (in tubular epithelial cells), and desmin (in glomerular epithelial cells) was detected in the kidneys of chronic diabetic rats; by dual immunostaining, these phenotypically-altered renal cells in kidneys of chronic diabetic rats were found to be HSP47-producing cells. Importantly, HSP47 up-regulation coincided with the initiation and progression of renal fibrosis, as determined by the expression and deposition of collagens. Our results strongly support a pathological role for HSP47 in the later stages (sclerotic phase) of streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy, which is associated with glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. 相似文献

Apoptosis contributes to tubular epithelial cell death and atrophy in aldosterone (Aldo)-induced renal injury. This study aimed to determine mechanisms underlying Aldo-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in tubular epithelial cells. Intracellular ROS generation was evaluated by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate fluorescence. Apoptosis was detected by annexin V/propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. ER stress induced protein and mRNA were evaluated by Western blot and real-time PCR, respectively. Aldo promoted tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, increased intracellular ROS production and induced ER stress, as evidenced by increased expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Additionally, siRNA knockdown of CHOP and antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) attenuated ER stress-mediated apoptosis. NAC also could inhibit Aldo-induced expression of GRP78 and CHOP. Altogether, these observations suggest that Aldo induces apoptosis via ROS-mediated, CHOP-dependent activation in renal tubular epithelial cells. 相似文献

In anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) genetic predisposition, ANCA autoantibodies, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), complement activation, and toll-like receptor signaling are implicated in AAV pathogenesis. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), a highly conserved group of small-sized molecular chaperones, take part in protein folding during cellular stress. Although HSPs were initially observed intracellularly, it has been shown that they can be secreted in the extracellular space and modulate the immune response in various autoimmune diseases including AAV. The scope of the present study is to investigate the role of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) and 70 (HSP70) in the long renal effects in an ANCA vasculitis cohort. In this cohort of ANCA-associated vasculitis, 29 patients were followed up over 20 years. At diagnosis, immunohistochemistry was performed for HSP60 and HSP70 within the various nephron compartments. Higher renal HSP60 expression was associated with increased interstitial inflammatory infiltrates at diagnosis, while HSP70 expression was associated with a greater extent of interstitial fibrosis at diagnosis. Notably, intense tissue expression of HSP70 at the time of biopsy was associated with a worsened kidney survival. Renal HSP70 expression was associated with poor renal outcomes during long-term follow-up. This finding may indicate a role of HSPs in renal disease progression in ANCA vasculitis. Further validating studies are needed to verify a causative association between HSP70 expression and renal outcomes in ANCA-associated vasculitis. 相似文献

Renal fibroblasts are thought to play a major role in the development of renal fibrosis (RF). The mechanisms leading to this renal alteration remain poorly understood. We performed differential proteomic analyses with two established fibroblast cell lines with RF phenotype to identify new molecular pathways associated with RF. Differential 2-DE combined with mass spectrometry analysis revealed the alteration of more than 30 proteins in fibrotic kidney fibroblasts (TK188) compared to normal kidney fibroblast (TK173). Among these proteins, markers of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress- and the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway (GRP78, GRP94, ERP57, ERP72, and CALR) and the oxidative stress pathway proteins (PRDX1, PRDX2, PRDX6, HSP70, HYOU1) were highly up-regulated in fibrotic cells. Activation of these stress pathways through long time exposition of TK173, to high NaCl or glucose concentrations resulted in TK188 like phenotype. Parallel to an increase in reactive oxygen species, the stressed cells showed significant alteration of fibrosis markers, ER-stress and oxidative stress proteins. Similar effects of osmotic stress could be also observed on renal proximal tubule cells. Our data suggest an important role of the ER-stress proteins in fibrosis and highlights the pro-fibrotic effect of osmotic stress through activation of oxidative stress and ER-stress pathways. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be induced by various stresses and play an important role in cell cycle progression. HSP70 has been shown to act as an inhibitor of apoptosis. We studied HSP70 expression in bronchial epithelial cells of C57BL/6 mice and homozygous HPS70 knockout mice (hsp70.1-/-) exposed to chronic hypoxic stress. We also investigated changes in cellular proliferation and apoptosis in relation to HSP70. Lungs were removed from mice after a three-week period of exposure to 10 % O(2). Immunoblots for HSP70 and immunohistochemical staining for HSP70 and Ki-67 were performed. Apoptosis was assessed using the TUNEL assay. The three-week period of hypoxic stress did not change HSP70 levels in total lung tissue, but a significant reduction in HSP70 expression was observed in bronchiolar epithelial cells. In wild type mice, both HSP70 and Ki-67 expression were significantly reduced in bronchiolar epithelial cells. In homozygous HPS70 knockout mice (hsp70.1-/-), apoptosis of bronchiolar epithelial cells was significantly increased. Our results suggest that HSP70 may exert anti-apoptotic effects in mouse bronchiolar epithelial cells. 相似文献

To assess the dependence on age of the expression of apoptosis regulatory proteins in the human semitendinosus muscle, we
measured the expression levels of several apoptosis-related genes, including apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), Bax, Bcl-2,
caspase-3 and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), using RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and TUNEL assays. We found that the DNA fragmentation
was proportional to the age of the tissues sample donors. The expression levels of AIF were significantly elevated (by 10
to 25%) in semitendinosus tissue samples from older individuals, but the Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and HSP 70 levels remained
almost constant. This data suggests that the morphological and functional changes observed in aged human semitendinosus muscle
correlates with the apoptosis of muscle cells through the induction of AIF. 相似文献

Hemorrhage in mice results in decreased ATP levels in the jejunum, lung, kidney, heart, and brain but not in liver tissue lysates, albeit at variable levels and time kinetics. The decreased protein expression and activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) accounted for the hemorrhage-induced ATP loss. Treatment with geldanamycin (GA; 1 microg/g body wt), a known inducer of heat shock protein (HSP)70, inhibited the hemorrhage-induced ATP loss in the jejunum, lung, heart, kidney, and brain. GA was found to increase PDH protein, preserve PDH enzymatic activity, and inhibit mucosal injury in jejunum tissues. GA-induced HSP70i was found to form complexes with PDH protein. HSP70 gene transfer into intestinal epithelial cells promoted PDH and ATP levels, whereas HSP70 short interfering RNA limited them. We conclude that agents able to increase the expression of HSP70 and PDH may be of value in reducing pathology resulting from hemorrhage-associated ATP loss. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of methionine on cell proliferation, antioxidant activity, apoptosis, the expression levels of related genes (HSF-1, HSP70, Bax and Bcl-2) and the expression levels of protein (HSP70) in mammary epithelial cells, after heat treatment. Methionine (60 mg/L) increased the viability and attenuated morphological damage in hyperthermia-treated bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). Additionally, methionine significantly reduced lactate dehydrogenase leakage, malondialdehyde formation, nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase activity. Superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase enzymatic activity was increased significantly in the presence of methionine. Bovine mammary epithelial cells also exhibited a certain amount of HSP70 reserve after methionine pretreatment for 24 h, and the expression level of the HSP70 gene and protein further increased with incubation at 42 °C for 30 min. Compared to the control, the expression of HSF-1 mRNA increased, and there was a significantly reduced expression of Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA and a reduced activity of caspase-3 against heat stress. Methionine also increased survival and decreased early apoptosis of hyperthermia-treated BMECs. Thus, methionine has cytoprotective effects on hyperthermia-induced damage in BMECs. 相似文献

Kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is characterized by renal dysfunction and tubular damages resulting from an early activation of innate immunity. Recently, nicotine administration has been shown to be a powerful inhibitor of a variety of innate immune responses, including LPS-induced toxaemia. This cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway acts via the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7nAChR). Herein, we tested the potential protective effect of nicotine administration in a mouse model of renal I/R injury induced by bilateral clamping of kidney arteries. Renal function, tubular damages and inflammatory response were compared between control animals and mice receiving nicotine at the time of ischemia. Nicotine pretreatment protected mice from renal dysfunction in a dose-dependent manner and through the alpha7nAChR, as attested by the absence of protection in alpha7nAChR-deficient mice. Additionally, nicotine significantly reduced tubular damages, prevented neutrophil infiltration and decreased productions of the CXC-chemokine KC, TNF-alpha and the proinflammatory high-mobility group box 1 protein. Reduced tubular damage in nicotine pre-treated mice was associated with a decrease in tubular cell apoptosis and proliferative response as attested by the reduction of caspase-3 and Ki67 positive cells, respectively. All together, these data highlight that nicotine exerts a protective anti-inflammatory effect during kidney I/R through the cholinergic alpha7nAChR pathway. In addition, this could provide an opportunity to overcome the effect of surgical cholinergic denervation during kidney transplantation. 相似文献

Endothelial cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of many diseases and are highly sensitive to low gravity conditions.
Using a three-dimensional random positioning machine (clinostat) we investigated effects of simulated weightlessness on the
human EA.hy926 cell line (4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h) and addressed the impact of exposure to VEGF (10 ng/ml). Simulated microgravity
resulted in an increase in extracellular matrix proteins (ECMP) and altered cytoskeletal components such as microtubules (alpha-tubulin)
and intermediate filaments (cytokeratin). Within the initial 4 h, both simulated microgravity and VEGF, alone, enhanced the
expression of ECMP (collagen type I, fibronectin, osteopontin, laminin) and flk-1 protein. Synergistic effects between microgravity
and VEGF were not seen. After 12 h, microgravity further enhanced all proteins mentioned above. Moreover, clinorotated endothelial
cells showed morphological and biochemical signs of apoptosis after 4 h, which were further increased after 72 h. VEGF significantly
attenuated apoptosis as demonstrated by DAPI staining, TUNEL flow cytometry and electron microscopy. Caspase-3, Bax, Fas,
and 85-kDa apoptosis-related cleavage fragments were clearly reduced by VEGF. After 72 h, most surviving endothelial cells
had assembled to three-dimensional tubular structures. Simulated weightlessness induced apoptosis and increased the amount
of ECMP. VEGF develops a cell-protective influence on endothelial cells exposed to simulated microgravity. 相似文献

Ge-Jee-Bok-Ryung-Hwan (GJBRH), a commonly used herb formulation in Korea, Japan and China, caused a decrease of viability in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. The treatment of GJBRH resulted in genomic DNA fragmentation as well as the increase of Sub-G1 portion in cell cycle analysis. In this study, GFP-Bax over-expression system showed that Bax, pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, was translocated to mitochondria by the presence of GJBRH. The treatment of BAPTA-AM, permeable endogenous calcium chelator, inhibited GJBRH-induced caspase-3 and -9 activations, the release of cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO into cytoplasm and the resultant cell death in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. The treatment of BAPTA-AM increased the expression of XIAP, which mediates binding to and inhibiting caspases and showed protective effect, in GJBRH-treated cells. GJBRH induced the expression of Glucose Response Protein 78 (GRP 78), a positive ER stress marker protein. However, BAPTA-AM did not interfere with the ER-stress response pathway that triggers the expression of GRP 78. This study showed that GJBRH induces cell death, which occurs downstream of or parallel to this point in the ER-stress pathway linked to apoptosis. In conclusion, GJBRH induces apoptosis in HeLa cells via ER stress-pathway associated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis mechansim. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play an important role in the cellular response to environmental stress and exert a cytoprotective effect. Especially HSP70 is an effective inhibitor of apoptosis, suggesting a role of HSP70 in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. To explore the relevance of HSP70 in renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), we analyzed nuclear and cytoplasmic HSP70 protein expression in formalin-fixed tissue from 145 clear cell RCCs by immunohistochemistry as well as Western blot analysis. Nuclear HSP70 expression was found in all RCCs and 75% of the tumors also exhibited a cytoplasmic HSP70 staining. Importantly, RCCs showed significantly reduced cytoplasmic (p=0.001) and combined nuclear/cytoplasmic (p=0.0022) HSP70 expression when compared with their cells of origin. A significant (p=0.0176) decrease of nuclear HSP70 expression became evident from well to poorly differentiated clear cell RCCs. Quite similarly, a trend (p=0.0558) for reduced combined nuclear/cytoplasmic HSP70 expression was shown from early (pT1) to advanced (pT3) tumor stages. Nevertheless, no correlation between HSP70 expression and patients survival became evident. In conclusion, our investigation demonstrates a significant decrease of antiapoptotic HSP70 protein expression during carcinogenesis and during progression from well (G1) to poorly (G3) differentiated clear cell RCCs. Our results suggest that HSP70-mediated inhibition of apoptosis seems to be of minor importance for carcinogenesis and tumor progression in RCCs. 相似文献

Previous studies demonstrated that androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the male-dominant diseases. Glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa (GRP78/Bip), which has a role in cancer development, is one of the androgen response genes in prostate cell lines. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of AR on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress signaling in human hepatoma. AR and GRP78 expressions were examined in human liver tissue panels. Human hepatoma cells stably expressing short hairpin RNA targeting AR and cells over-expressing AR were generated. The expressions of ER-stress molecules and AR were measured by real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. The effect of AR on ER-stress responsive gene expression was examined by reporter assay. Strong positive correlation between AR mRNA and GRP78 mRNA was observed in stage I/II-HCCs. AR enhanced ER-stress responsive element activities and GRP78 expression, and regulated ER-stress response in hepatocytes. Sorafenib strongly induced significant apoptosis in HepG2 cells by the inhibition of AR and inhibition of the downstream GRP78. AR seems a co-regulator of GRP78 especially in earlier-stage HCC. AR plays a critical role in controlling ER-stress, providing new therapeutic options against HCC. 相似文献

Renal tubular cell apoptosis is a significant component of obstruction-induced renal injury, and it results in a progressive loss in renal parenchymal mass during renal obstruction. Although IL-18 is an important mediator of inflammatory renal disease and renal fibrosis, its role in obstruction-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis remains unclear. To study this, male C57BL6 wild-type mice and C57BL6 mice transgenic for human IL-18-binding protein (IL-18BP Tg) were subjected to renal obstruction vs. sham operation. The kidneys were harvested after 1 or 2 wk and analyzed for IL-18 production, apoptosis, caspase activity, and Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) expression. HK-2 cells were similarly analyzed for apoptosis and proapoptotic signaling following 3 days of direct exposure to IL-18 vs. control media. Renal obstruction induced a significant increase in IL-18 production, renal tubular cell apoptosis, caspase activation, and FasL expression. IL-18 neutralization, on the other hand, significantly reduced obstruction-induced apoptosis, caspase-8 and caspase-3 activity, and FasL expression. In vitro experiments similarly demonstrate that IL-18 stimulation induces apoptosis, FasL expression, and increases active caspase-8 and caspase-3 expression in a dose-dependent fashion. siRNA knockdown of FasL gene expression, however, significantly reduced IL-18-induced apoptosis. This study reveals that IL-18 is a significant mediator of obstruction-induced tubular cell apoptosis, and it demonstrates that IL-18 stimulates proapoptotic signaling through a FasL-dependent mechanism. 相似文献
