Reduced expression of lipoic acid synthase accelerates diabetic nephropathy.

چکیده
Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. In mitochondria, lipoic acid synthase produces α-lipoic acid, an antioxidant and an essential cofactor in α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes, which participate in glucose oxidation and ATP generation. Administration of lipoic acid abrogates diabetic nephropathy in animal models, but whether lower production of endogenous lipoic acid promotes diabetic nephropathy is unknown. Here, we crossed mice heterozygous for lipoic acid synthase deficiency (Lias(+/-)) with Ins2(Akita/+) mice, a well characterized model of type 1 diabetes. Double mutant mice had more overt diabetic nephropathy, including microalbuminuria, glomerular basement thickening, mesangial matrix expansion, and hypertension, compared with Lias(+/+)Ins2(Akita/+) controls. We also identified proximal tubules as a major site for generation of superoxide anions during diabetic nephropathy. Mitochondria in proximal tubular cells were particularly sensitive to damage in diabetic mice with reduced lipoic acid production. These results suggest that lipoic acid synthase deficiency increases oxidative stress and accelerates the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Influence of Different Levels of Lipoic Acid Synthase Gene Expression on Diabetic Nephropathy
Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) but outcomes of many clinical trials are controversial. To define the role of antioxidants in kidney protection during the development of diabetic nephropathy, we have generated a novel genetic antioxidant mouse model with over- or under-expression of lipoic acid synthase gene (Lias). These models have been mated wi...
متن کاملNLRP-3 Expression in Pancreatic Tissue Following Moderate and High Intensity Interval Training with Liposomal Alpha-Lipoic Acid Supplement in Diabetic Rats
Introduction: Activation of NLRP-3 Inflammasome is considered an indicator of chronic inflammation in type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise training along with antioxidants supplements can control inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of training with different intensity and alpha lipoic acid supplement on pancreatic NLRP-3 expression in diabetic rats. Methods: ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Exercise Training Intensity and Alpha-Lipoic Acid Supplement on IAPP Gene Expression in the Pancreas in Type 2 Diabetic
Background: The formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) have been proposed for d increased b-cell apoptosis in type 2 diabetes. Exercise training plays a protective role against diabetes. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful biological antioxidant. However, the role of exercise training and ALA on IAPP are not well understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of...

To evaluate the protective effects of α-lipoic acid on the kidneys of Goto-Kakisaki (GK) diabetic rats, ten GK diabetic rats were randomly divided into a diabetic control group and a lipoic acid-treated diabetic group with α-lipoic acid 35 mg·Kg-1 intraperitoneal injections. Four healthy Wistar rats served as normal controls. Malonaldehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin E, glutathion...
متن کاملDiabetic nephropathy is associated with oxidative stress and decreased renal nitric oxide production.
The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy remains far from clear, partly due to the lack of a suitable animal model that mimics human renal disease in type 2 diabetes. In this study, the natural history of renal manifestations in ZSF1 rats, a recently developed rodent model of type 2 diabetes, is described. Male ZSF1 rats developed obesity and hyperglycemia by 20 weeks of age on a high-carbohydr...
