“…As shown in l " Fig. 2 Endogenous CAT and GSH-PX deficiency has been regarded as one of the pathogenesis accelerating diabetic renal injury through peroxisomal dysfunction [14,15]. In order to further evaluate the protective effect of Pae and Oxypae on AGEs-induced mesangial cell damage, the activities of CAT and GSH-PX in the supernatant of HBZY-1 mesangial cells were determined by ELISA kits.…”

Paeonia suffruticosa, an important traditional herbal medicine, has been reported to prevent the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy through modulating advanced glycation end products-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. However, little was known about the protective effect of the two major compounds in P. suffruticosa, paeoniflorin and oxypaeoniflora, on advanced glycation end products-induced mesangial cell damage. In the present study, we investigated the protective activities of paeoniflorin and oxypaeoniflora on advanced glycation end product-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in mesangial cells HBZY-1. The IC50 values of paeoniflorin and oxypaeoniflora for inhibiting 2,2'-azinobis-(3-thylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) formation were 4.197 × 10-4 M and 1.002 × 10-4 M, respectively. The pretreatment with paeoniflorin and oxypaeoniflora (10-8-10-4 M) significantly increased advanced glycation end product-induced glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities. In the coculture system of HBZY-1 and macrophages, paeoniflorin and oxypaeoniflora could inhibit remarkably the migration of macrophages. Furthermore, paeniflorin and oxypaeniflora attenuated markedly advanced glycation end products-induced inflammation cytokines interleukin-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels in ELISA and western blot analysis in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, our data provided the reliable evidence that paeniflorin and oxypaeniflora were able to attenuate advanced glycation end products-induced oxidative damage and inflammation in mesangial cells. Paeniflorin and oxypaeniflora might therefore have a beneficial effect in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

“…Many of these effects limited the development of DN. Furthermore, treatment of diabetic rats with curcumin prevented diabetesinduced cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and kidney dysfunction [7,8] . However, the mechanisms underlying the renoprotective effects of curcumin in DN remain unclear.…”

Curcumin attenuates high glucose-induced podocyte apoptosis by regulating functional connections between caveolin-1 phosphorylation and ROS

Aim: Caveolin-1 (cav-1) is a major multifunctional scaffolding protein of caveolae. Cav-1 is primarily expressed in mesangial cells, renal proximal tubule cells and podocytes in kidneys. Recent evidence shows that the functional connections between cav-1 and ROS play a key role in many diseases. In this study we investigated whether regulating the functional connections between cav-1 and ROS in kidneys contributed to the beneficial effects of curcumin in treating diabetic nephropathy in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Cultured mouse podocytes (mpc5) were incubated in a high glucose (HG, 30 mmol/L) medium for 24, 48 or 72 h. Male rats were injected with STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) to induce diabetes. ROS generation, SOD activity, MDA content and caspase-3 activity in the cultured cells and kidney cortex homogenate were determined. Apoptotic proteins and cav-1 phosphorylation were analyzed using Western blot analyses. Results: Incubation in HG-containing medium time-dependently increased ROS production, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and cav-1 phosphorylation in podocytes. Pretreatment with curcumin (1, 5, and 10 μmol/L) dose-dependently attenuated these abnormalities in HG-treated podocytes. Furthermore, in HG-containing medium, the podocytes transfected with a recombinant plasmid GFP-cav-1 Y14F (mutation at a cav-1 phosphorylation site) exhibited significantly decreased ROS production and apoptosis compared with the cells transfected with empty vector. In diabetic rats, administration of curcumin (100 or 200 mg/kg body weight per day, ig, for 8 weeks) not only significantly improved the renal function, but also suppressed ROS levels, oxidative stress, apoptosis and cav-1 phosphorylation in the kidneys. Conclusion: Curcumin attenuates high glucose-induced podocyte apoptosis in vitro and diabetic nephropathy in vivo partly through regulating the functional connections between cav-1 phosphorylation and ROS.

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) has been implicated in the progression of diabetic keratopathy. However, details regarding their function are not well understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and JNK, p38 MAPK on AGE-modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) induced Human telomerase-immortalized corneal epithelial cells (HUCLs) apoptosis. We found that AGE-BSA induced HUCLs apoptosis and increased Bax protein expression, decreased Bcl-2 protein expression. AGE-BSA also induced the expression of receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE). AGE-BSA-RAGE interaction induced intracellular ROS generation through activated NADPH oxidase and increased the phosphorylation of p47phox. AGE-BSA induced HUCLs apoptosis was inhibited by pretreatment with NADPH oxidase inhibitors, ROS quencher N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or neutralizing anti-RAGE antibodies. We also found that AGE-BSA induced JNK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. JNK and p38 MAPK inhibitor effectively blocked AGE-BSA-induced HUCLs apoptosis. In addition, NAC completely blocked phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPK induced by AGE-BSA. Our results indicate that AGE-BSA induced HUCLs apoptosis through generation of intracellular ROS and activation of JNK and p38 MAPK pathways.
