Abstract: | Phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) is a negative regulator of PI3K/Akt pathway, and here we investigated the effect of PTEN on lipogenesis in diabetic rats and high glucose-stimulated human renal proximal tubular cell line (HKC). Decreased PTEN and increased phospho-Akt were found in kidney of diabetic rats, and in vitro research revealed that high glucose attenuated PTEN expression in a time-dependent manner, concomitant with activation of Akt. Again, expression of PTEN significantly inhibited high glucose-caused increased phospho-Akt and lipogenic genes including SREBP-1, fatty acid synthase (FASN) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Furthermore, we confirmed inhibition of TGF-β1 pathway with SB431542 blocked the effect of high glucose on PTEN down-regulation, an increase in phospho-Akt and lipogenesis. These above data suggest that decreased PTEN mediates high glucose-induced lipogenesis in renal proximal tubular cells and TGF-β1 might be involved in PTEN down-regulation. |
