Abstract

The role of inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) is significant in the progression and development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Resveratrol (Res) has various pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-OS. Tumor necrosis factor receptor-related factor (TRAF3) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-OS effects in a variety of diseases. This study investigated the potential mechanisms underlying the renoprotective effects of Res, with a special focus on the regulation of TRAF3 in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) inflammatory signaling pathway. A high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) was used to induce type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a rat model, and a high glucose (HG, 30 mmol/L)-treated glomerular thylakoid cell model was established in HBZY-1 rats. Res (40 mg/kg/day) was studied in vivo by gavage for 8 weeks and in vitro by treatment with Res (25, 50, and 100 μmol/L) for 48 hours. The degree of renal injury was evaluated by blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood creatinine (Cr) and urine protein. Renal structure and glycogen changes were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid Schiff staining (PAS). Inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-1βt IL-6, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and oxidative stress markers, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA), were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunoblotting was performed to detect TRAF3, TLR4, MyD88, phosphorylated (p)-IκBβ, p-p65, and p65. Protein blotting was applied for final mechanistic validation using lentiviral transfection of diabetes mellitus (DM) rats and high glucose-induced cells against TRAF3. As a result Res effectively ameliorated renal loss and renal histopathologic changes in DM rats, as evidenced by decreased BUN (P<0.01), Cr (P<0.01), urine protein (P<0.01), and renal structural lesions and reduced basement membrane glycogen (P<0.015). In terms of molecular mechanisms, Res was able to significantly promote the expression of TRAF3, which in turn inhibited the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α (all P<0.01), thereby attenuating inflammatory responses in the kidney. In addition, Res significantly reduced OS in renal tissues and in the HG cell model, such as increasing SOD and CAT activities and decreasing MDA levels (all P<0.05). Silencing of TRAF3, on the other hand, partially reduced the anti-inflammatory and anti-OS effects of Res and activated the TLR4-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway. To sum up Res can alleviate DN by attenuating inflammation and OS, and the underlying mechanisms are related to TRAF3 in the TLR4/NF-κB-mediated anti-inflammatory pathway.

白藜芦醇缓解糖尿病肾病的机制:肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子表达及toll样受体4/核因子κ b信号通路
炎症和氧化应激(OS)在糖尿病肾病(DN)的进展和发展中起着重要作用。白藜芦醇(Res)具有多种药理作用,包括抗炎和抗os。肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子(TRAF3)已被证明在多种疾病中具有抗炎和抗os作用。本研究探讨了Res对肾保护作用的潜在机制,特别关注了TRAF3在toll样受体4 (TLR4)介导的核因子κ b (NF-κB)炎症信号通路中的调节作用。采用高脂饮食联合腹腔注射链脲佐菌素(35 mg/kg)诱导大鼠2型糖尿病模型,建立高糖(HG, 30 mmol/L)处理的HBZY-1大鼠肾小球类囊体细胞模型。以Res (40 mg/kg/d)在体内灌胃8周,以Res(25、50、100 μmol/L)在体外灌胃48 h。采用血尿素氮(BUN)、血肌酐(Cr)和尿蛋白评价肾损伤程度。苏木精、伊红染色及周期性酸希夫染色(PAS)观察肾脏结构及糖原变化。采用酶联免疫吸附法测定炎症因子,包括白细胞介素(IL)-1βt IL-6、单核细胞趋化蛋白(MCP)-1、肿瘤坏死因子-α (TNF-α),以及氧化应激标志物,包括超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和丙二醛(MDA)。免疫印迹检测TRAF3、TLR4、MyD88、磷酸化(p)- i - κ b β、p-p65和p65。用慢病毒转染糖尿病(DM)大鼠和高糖诱导细胞,对TRAF3进行蛋白印迹检测,最终验证其机制。结果Res有效地改善了DM大鼠的肾损失和肾组织病理学改变,如BUN (P

期刊介绍: Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology publishes papers which fall within the range of basic and applied physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology. The papers should illustrate new physiological or pharmacological mechanisms at the level of the cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs. Clinical studies, that are of fundamental importance and have a direct bearing on the pathophysiology will also be considered. Letters related to articles published in The Journal with topics of general professional interest are welcome.
