Abstract Background: Alpha-2u globulin nephropathy mainly shows toxicological pathology only in male rats induced by certain chemicals and drugs, such as levamisole (antiparasitic and anticancer drugs). Streptozotocin (STZ) is also an anticancer-antibiotic agent that has been used for decades to induce a diabetic kidney disease model in rodents. The purpose of this study is to determine if STZ causes alpha-2u globulin nephropathy in male rats during an advanced stage of diabetic kidney disease.Methods: To test this hypothesis, the present study used a male diabetic Wistar rat model with 45 mg/kg of STZ injected intraperitoneally. Hyperglycaemic rats were divided into 2 groups: with and without alpha-2u globulin deposition in proximal tubule. Alpha-2u globulin nephropathy was examined by histopathological and electron microscope studies. Water absorption and filtration capacities (via aquaporin [AQP]-1, -2, -4 and -5) and mitochondrial function (through haloacid dehalogenase-like hydrolase domain-containing protein [HDHD]-3 and NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 75 kDa subunit [NDUFS]-1 proteins) were determined using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and immunogold labelling techniques.Results: More than 80% of severe clinical illness rats induced by STZ injection simultaneously exhibited alpha-2u globulin nephropathy with mitochondrial degeneration and filtration apparatus especially pedicels impairment. They also showed significantly upregulated AQP-1, -2, -4 and -5, HDHD-3 and NDUFS-1 compared with those of the rats without alpha-2u globulin nephropathy.Conclusions: STZ-induced alpha-2u globulin nephropathy during diabetic kidney disease in association with deterioration of pedicels, renal tubular damage with adaptation and mitochondrial driven apoptosis.

Significant Difference

Emerging studies suggest that lipid accumulates in the kidneys during diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the correlation between ectopic lipid accumulation with tubular damage has not been thoroughly elucidated to date. Using Oil Red staining, lipid accumulation was observed in the kidneys of type 2 DKD patients (classes II–III) and db/db mice compared with the control and was predominantly located in the proximal tubular compartment. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining showed that the intensity of adipose differentiation related protein (ADRP) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) was clearly up-regulated, which was positively correlated with the tubulointerstitial damage score and inflammation. Furthermore, the urine ADRP content significantly increased in DKD patients compared with the control, which positively correlated with abnormal lipid metabolism, serum creatinine, urine N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (NAG), albumin excretion (albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression. However, there was no significant difference observed in plasma ADRP levels. In addition, the expression of SREBP-1 protein was dramatically increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from DKD patients, which was also tightly correlated with urine NAG, ACR, and TNF-α levels. In vitro studies demonstrated increased ADRP and SREBP-1 expression accompanied by lipid accumulation in HK-2 cells cultured in high glucose (HG). HG induced high levels of TNF-α expression, which was partially blocked by transfection of ADRP siRNA or SREBP-1 siRNA. These data indicated that ADRP and SREBP-1 are crucial factors that mediate lipid accumulation with tubular damage and inflammation in DKD, and ectopic lipid accumulation may serve as a novel therapeutic target for amelioration of tubular injury in DKD.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rg3 (20(S)-Rg3) has been shown to induce apoptosis by interfering with several signaling pathways. Furthermore, it has been reported to have anticancer and antidiabetic effects. In order to detect the protective effect of 20(S)-Rg3 on diabetic kidney disease (DKD), diabetic rat models which were established by administering high-sugar, high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ), and age-matched wild-type (WT) rat were given 20(S)-Rg3 for 12 weeks, with three groups: control group (normal adult rats with saline), diabetic group (diabetic rats with saline), and 20(S)-Rg3 treatment group (diabetic rats with 20(S)-Rg3 (10 mg/kg body weight/day)). The biochemical indicators and the changes in glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix were detected. TUNEL staining was used to detect glomerular and renal tubular cell apoptosis. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of fibrosis factors and inflammation factors in rat kidney tissues. Through periodic acid-Schiff staining, we observed that the change in renal histology was improved and renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis decreased significantly by treatment with 20(S)-Rg3. Plus, the urine protein decreased in the rats with the 20(S)-Rg3 treatment. Fasting blood glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the 20(S)-Rg3 treatment group were all lower than those in the diabetic group. Mechanistically, 20(S)-Rg3 dramatically downregulated the expression of TGF-β1, NF-κB65, and TNF-α in the kidney. These resulted in a significant prevention of renal damage from the inflammation. The results of the current study suggest that 20(S)-Rg3 could potentially be used as a novel treatment against DKD.

The study is aimed at investigating the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract EGB761 on renal tubular damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). A total of 50 C57BL/6 N mice were randomly divided into the normal group, DKD group, DKD+EGB761 group (36 mg/kg), and DKD+4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) group (1 g/kg). The DKD model was replicated by high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were divided into the control group, high-glucose group (30 mmol/L), EGB761 group (40 mg/L, 20 mg/L, 10 mg/L), TM group, and TM+4-PBA group. After 8 weeks of administration, expressions of serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 24 h urinary protein (24 h Pro), fasting blood glucose (FBG), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) of mice were tested. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed. The expressions of extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), E-cadherin, fibronectin, and collagen IV, as well as the ERS markers GRP78 and ATF6, were tested by Western blot, qPCR, immunohistochemistry, or immunofluorescence. EGB761 could decrease the Scr, BUN, 24 h Pro, and FBG levels in the DKD group, alleviate renal pathological injury, decrease urine β2-MG, RBP4 levels, and decrease the expression of α-SMA, collagen IV, fibronectin, and GRP78, as well as ATF6, while increase the expression of E-cadherin. These findings demonstrate that EGB761 can improve renal function, reduce tubular injury, and ameliorate ECM accumulation and EMT in DKD kidney tubules, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ERS.
