Glucose-induced oxidative stress in mesangial cells

Abstract: The results demonstrate the existence of glucose-induced oxidative stress in mesangial cells as evidenced by elevated MDA and decreased GSH levels. The decreased levels of GSH are as a result of decreased mRNA expression of gamma-GCS within the cell. Antioxidants caused a significant reversal of FN and CIV gene expression, suggesting an etiological link between oxidative stress and increased ECM protein synthesis.

“…Our previous findings (19) suggest that this downregulation of Mn-SOD with salt loading may be a consequence of a reduction in Ang II, but this was not tested in the present study. ROS activate mitogen-activated protein kinase in renal tubule cells (38), contribute to hypertrophic responses to Ang II (38) and to cellular injury (39), and increase fibrogenic matrix protein synthesis in mesangial cells (40). A high salt intake enhances oxidative stress in rat skeletal muscle arterioles and vessels (23) and increases BP, protein excretion, and renal fibrosis and worsens renal function in several models of chronic renal failure (7,38,(41)(42)(43) and accelerates the decline of renal function in patients with chronic renal failure (44).…”

“…The latter finding is similar to the effect of IL-1␤ up-regulation of GCLC expression that we observed. Long term exposure to high glucose conditions decreases GCLC expression in mesangial as well as retinal Muller cells resulting in a decrease in GSH levels (4,5). Decreased GSH levels in erythrocytes from hyperglycemic type 2 diabetics are also accompanied by a decrease in GCLC activity (13).…”

“…The regulation of GCL expression and activity has been studied in many other cell types, including mesangial and endothelial cells, but not the pancreatic islet. Long term exposure to high glucose levels decreases GCL expression in mesangial, retinal Muller, and endothelial cells, which results in a decrease in GSH levels (3)(4)(5). Long term exposure to high glucose conditions inhibits endothelial cells from responding to cytokine exposure with an increase in GCL expression and activity (3).…”

“…Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the response of mesangial cells to hyperglycemia (38) and increased levels of prostaglandins are characteristic of diabetic and other glomerulopathies (39,40). The role of PLA 2 s in the generation of eicosanoids and propagation of inflammation has been extensively studied by several groups using mesangial cells derived from rats.…”
