Macrophage-derived tumor necrosis factor-α mediates diabetic renal injury

Abstract: Monocyte/macrophage recruitment correlates strongly with the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is produced by monocytes/macrophages but the direct role of TNF-α and/or macrophage-derived TNF-α in the progression of diabetic nephropathy remains unclear. Here we tested whether inhibition of TNF-α confers kidney protection in diabetic nephropathy via a macrophage-derived TNF-α dependent pathway. Compared to vehicle-treated mice, blockade of TNF-α with a murine anti-TNF-α ant… Show more

“…23 25 26 The inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 have crucial roles in mediating the glomerular and tubulointerstitial injury induced by diabetes 3940 Here we are showing that in addition to reducing the levels of the components of the Nlrp3 inflammasome, Saxa attenuated the increase in all these four cytokines in T2DM and T1DM models.…”

“…This increased local production of TNF-a could result in urinary release, which confirms our data. The importance of this cytokine in the progression of DN was also demonstrated experimentally by Awad et al [26], who showed that TNF-a-neutralizing antibody prevents kidney hypertrophy, albuminuria and preserves kidney function in a murine model of DM1. Furthermore, we observed a correlation between TNF-a and the markers currently used in the DN evaluation, suggesting that the use of all these markers together could enhance the sensibility of laboratorial diagnosis of DN progression.…”

“…Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of T1DM and reactive oxygen species (ROS) which could play a pivotal role in the development and progression of DM [9]. Many natural products have been shown to decrease oxidative stress in diabetic animals.…”
