NADPH oxidase-derived ROS contributes to upregulation of TRPC6 expression in puromycin aminonucleoside-induced podocyte injury.

چکیده
Recent studies have demonstrated upregulation of transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) contributes to podocyte injury in acquired forms of proteinuric kidney diseases, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). However, under these pathophysiological conditions, the mechanisms of regulation of TRPC6 expression and activity remain unknown. The present study tested the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase-mediated redox signaling importantly participates in the development of podocyte injury by regulation of TRPC6 expression and activity. Injection of puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) to rats produced severe proteinuria and mimics the lesions of FSGS. Podocyte effacement, NADPH oxidase subunit NOX4 expression, enzyme activity and TRPC6 expression were significant increased in glomeruli from PAN nephrosis rats. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity by apocynin ameliorated proteinuria and podocyte effacement and reduced TRPC6 expression. In in vitro study, PAN significantly increased NOX4 and TRPC6 expression levels in cultured podocytes. This increased TRPC6 expression was attenuated by apocynin or siRNA-NOX4. Our results provide direct evidence for the first time that NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of critical components of a signal transduction pathway that links PAN nephrosis to TRPC6-mediated Ca(2+) signaling.

Gq signaling causes glomerular injury by activating TRPC6.
Familial forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have been linked to gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the transient receptor potential channel C6 (TRPC6). GPCRs coupled to Gq signaling activate TRPC6, suggesting that Gq-dependent TRPC6 activation underlies glomerular diseases. Here, we developed a murine model in which a constitutively active Gq α subunit (Gq(Q209L), r...
متن کاملInduction of antioxidant enzymes in murine podocytes precedes injury by puromycin aminonucleoside.
BACKGROUND An imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defense mechanisms has been suggested to play an important role in podocyte injury in nephrotic syndrome. Experimental nephrotic syndrome induced by injection of puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) into rats is a well-established model of nephrotic syndrome, and can be largely prevented by pretreatment w...
متن کاملDexamethasone Resisted Podocyte Injury via Stabilizing TRPC6 Expression and Distribution
TRPC6, a member of the canonical transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) subfamily, is an important cation selective ion channel on podocytes. Podocytes are highly differentiated cells located on the visceral face of glomerular basement membrane and featured by numerous foot processes, on which nephrin, podocin, and TRPC6 locate. Podocytes and the slit diaphragm (SD) between adjacent foot p...

Seizure activity has been proposed to result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then contribute to seizure-induced neuronal damage and eventually cell death. Although the mechanisms of seizure-induced ROS generation are unclear, mitochondria and cellular calcium overload have been proposed to have a crucial role. We aim to determine the sources of seizure-induced ROS and ...
متن کاملRole of NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Reactive Oxygen Species in Podocyte Injury
Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (Shankland, 2006). Recent studies highlighted the mechanisms of podocyte injury and implications for potential treatment strategies in proteinuric kidney diseases (Zhang et al., 2012). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cellular signals which are closely associated with the development and progression of glomerular scle...
