Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: Recent studies have identified high glucose as a potent stimulus for the intracellular synthesis of angiotensin II. However, the exact roles of angiotensin II and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARB) in high-glucose-induced renal tubular function remain unclear. Methods: N-Acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), angiotensin II and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) concentrations in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) with or without high glucose/ARB were determined using a modified commercial procedure. The changes of p22phox and cytoplasmic inhibitory kappa B (IkB) protein levels in RPTECs were measured using Western blotting. Results: High-glucose treatment (4x10-2 mol/L) significantly increased NAG release, angiotensin II concentrations in cell lysates and 8-OHdG and p22phox protein levels compared with those in regular glucose medium (1.75x10-2 mol/L). ARBs (candesartan, olmesartan or valsartan; 1x10-9-10-7 mol/L) showed a significant reduction in high-glucose-induced NAG, 8-OHdG and p22phox protein levels in RPTECs. Significant decreases of cytoplasmic IkB protein levels were observed in the high-glucose-treated group in RPTECs. ARBs markedly reversed high-glucose-induced reduction of IkB protein levels in RPTECs. Conclusions: ARBs reduce high-glucose-induced oxidative stress in RPTECs possibly via blockade of intracellular as well as extracellular AT1 receptor signaling, which possibly protects renal tubular cell function during diabetic nephropathy.
