Three days post-intervention with the γ-secretase inhibitor DAPT (N‑[N‑(3,5‑difluorophenacetyl)‑L‑alanyl]‑S‑phenylglycine t‑butylester), we assessed Notch and PI3K/AKT signaling dynamics while concurrently measuring vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) protein expression.

Simultaneous analysis of VEGFR expression revealed differential DAPT-mediated regulation: VEGFR1 downregulation with concomitant VEGFR2 upregulation.

Renal fibrosis serves as the main reason for end-stage renal failure. However, the current targeted treatment methods for renal fibrosis remain scarce. Aloe-emodin (AE) is a naturally occurring compound discovered in rhubarb and aloe. In this research, we investigated the underlying mechanisms of AE in adenine-induced mouse renal fibrosis models and TGFβ-1 stimulated renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). It was discovered that AE not only decelerated the decline of renal function in adenine-treated mice but also suppressed the expression of Collagen I and Fibronectin. Furthermore, network pharmacology analysis suggested that AE's treatment of renal fibrosis might function via the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling pathway. In vivo and in vitro Western blot and immunofluorescence findings demonstrate that AE significantly resists the advancement of renal fibrosis by inhibiting α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and vimentin. Simultaneously, findings from 740Y-P (a PI3K agonist) and siRNA (PI3K) indicate that AE inhibits the expression of the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β cascade by lowering PI3K's phosphorylation level. From a mechanistic perspective, through molecular docking and plasmid transfection, the specific base sequence of PI3K in HK-2 cells was altered for experimental validation. The outcomes illustrate that AE can directly bind with PI3K, inhibiting its activation, impeding the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signal transmission, thereby ultimately suppressing renal fibrosis progression. In conclusion, PI3K/Akt/GSK3β is a potential therapeutic target for CKD-related renal fibrosis, making AE a promising new treatment alternative for this condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":50487,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Histochemistry","volume":"69 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12406115/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144977166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
