Resveratrol protects podocytes against apoptosis via stimulation of autophagy in a mouse model of diabetic nephropathy
Podocyte apoptosis coincides with albuminuria onset and precedes podocytopenia in diabetic nephropathy. However, there is a lack of effective therapeutic drugs to protect podocytes from apoptosis. Here, we demonstrated that resveratrol relieved a series of indicators of diabetic nephropathy and attenuated apoptosis of podocytes in db/db diabetic model mice. In addition, resveratrol induced auto...
متن کاملOverexpression of Mafb in podocytes protects against diabetic nephropathy.
We previously showed that the transcription factor Mafb is essential for podocyte differentiation and foot process formation. Podocytes are susceptible to injury in diabetes, and this injury leads to progression of diabetic nephropathy. In this study, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress Mafb in podocytes using the nephrin promoter/enhancer. To examine a potential pathogenetic role for...
متن کاملVitamin D receptor signaling in podocytes protects against diabetic nephropathy.
Vitamin D and its analogs have antiproteinuric activity and podocytes express the vitamin D receptor, but whether vitamin D signaling in podocytes accounts for this renoprotection is unknown. To investigate this question, we used the 2.5 kb podocin promoter to target Flag-tagged human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) to podocytes in DBA/2J mice. After the induction of diabetes with streptozotocin, tra...
متن کاملApelin involved in progression of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting autophagy in podocytes
Podocyte autophagy dysfunction has been reported to be responsible for the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), however, the factors contributed to autophagy dysfunction in type 2 diabetes are not fully understood. Among promoting factors in DN, an adipokine, apelin, had been showed to trigger podocyte dysfunction. Therefore, it is hypothesized that apelin, which is increased in plasma in ...
متن کاملCorrelation of autophagy type in podocytes with histopathological diagnosis of IgA nephropathy.
OBJECTIVE IgA nephropathy (IgA-N) frequently leads to progressive renal failure, thus estimation of the degree of progression is important for patient management. Autophagy is a mechanism that facilitates clearance of waste products to preserve renal function. The aim of this study was to assess autophagy in podocytes in children with progressive IgA-N at initial diagnosis by electron microscop...
