چکیده

Podocyte injury is associated with progression of many renal diseases, including diabetic nephropathy. In this study we examined whether aldose reductase (AR), the enzyme implicated in diabetic complications in different tissues, is modulated by high glucose and osmolarity in podocyte cells. AR mRNA, protein expression, and activity were measured in mouse podocytes cultured in both normal and high glucose and osmolarity for 6 hours to 5 days. Hyperosmolarity acutely stimulated AR expression and activity, with subsequent increase of AR expression but decrease of activity. High glucose also elevated AR protein level; however, this was not accompanied by respective enzyme activation. Furthermore, high glucose appeared to counteract the osmolarity-dependent activation of AR. In conclusion, in podocytes AR is modulated by high glucose and increased osmolarity in a different manner. Posttranslational events may affect AR activity independent of enzyme protein amount. Activation of AR in podocytes may be implicated in diabetic podocytopathy.

Melatonin Reduces Cataract Formation and Aldose Reductase Activity in Lenses of Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rat

Background: The relationship between the high activity of aldose reductase (AR) and diabetic cataract formation has been previously investigated. The purpose of the present study was to determine the preventing effect of melatonin on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic cataract in rats.Methods: 34 adult healthy male Sprague-Dawely rats were divided into four groups. Diabetic control and diabe...

High glucose-induced tyrosine nitration in endothelial cells: role of eNOS uncoupling and aldose reductase activation.

PURPOSE Analyses in diabetic rats have shown that breakdown of the blood-retina barrier is associated with increased formation of peroxynitrite, nitric oxide, and lipid peroxidation. The permeability increase is blocked by treatments that also prevent the increases in reactive oxygen species, suggesting their causal role in vascular dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to determine the sp...

Effective fraction of Teucrium polium suppressed polyol pathway through inhibiting the aldose reductase enzyme: strategy to reduce retinopathy

Background: Several metabolic pathways are involved in the complications of diabetes like polyol pathway. Aldose reductase (AR) is a key enzyme in the polyol pathway, which catalyzes the conversion of glucose to sorbitol. AR inhibitors are appropriate to prevent and treat the diabetes complications. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of different fractions of Teucrium ...

Differential Effects of High Glucose and Methylglyoxal on Viability and Polyol Metabolism in Immortalized Adult Mouse Schwann Cells

Cultured Schwann cells under exposure to high glucose and methylglyoxal (MG) have been individually employed for studying diabetic neuropathy; however, similarities and differences between these two culture models have not been studied. We investigated the effects of high glucose and MG on viability, polyol pathway activity, and expression of oxidative stress markers (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE)...

Aldose reductase activation is a key component of myocardial response to ischemia.

Aldose reductase, a member of the aldo-keto reductase family, has been implicated in the development of vascular and neurological complications in diabetes. Despite recent studies from our laboratory demonstrating protection of ischemic hearts by an aldose reductase inhibitor, the presence and influence of aldose reductase in cardiac tissue remain unknown. Our goal in this study was to isolate ...
