Madecassoside Improves Renal Injury via Activation of AMPK/Autophagy in Experimental Membranous Nephropathy
Currently, membranous nephropathy (MN) has received considerable attention in Chine due to its increasing prevalence and limited therapeutic approaches. Madecassoside (MA) is a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and wound healing effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the roles and related mechanisms of MA in MN. The passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) model was established in rats to mimic human MN. MA was intraperitoneally injected into MN rats beginning 1 week after modeling for 4 weeks. Urine, blood samples, and kidney samples were collected for biochemical analysis and histopathological analysis. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were performed. MA relieved MN-induced renal dysfunctions and histopathology in rats. Additionally, MA reduced IgG and C3 deposition and alleviated podocyte injury in MN rats. Moreover, MA activated canonical autophagy by modulating AMPK/mTOR. Furthermore, MA ameliorated oxidative stress and inflammation in renal tissues of MN model rats. In conclusion, treatment with MA ameliorates proteinuria and renal dysfunctions in MN rats by activating AMPK/mTOR-mediated autophagy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology is an international journal that contains original research papers, rapid communications, mini-reviews, and book reviews, all focusing on the molecular mechanisms of action and detoxication of exogenous and endogenous chemicals and toxic agents. The scope includes effects on the organism at all stages of development, on organ systems, tissues, and cells as well as on enzymes, receptors, hormones, and genes. The biochemical and molecular aspects of uptake, transport, storage, excretion, lactivation and detoxication of drugs, agricultural, industrial and environmental chemicals, natural products and food additives are all subjects suitable for publication. Of particular interest are aspects of molecular biology related to biochemical toxicology. These include studies of the expression of genes related to detoxication and activation enzymes, toxicants with modes of action involving effects on nucleic acids, gene expression and protein synthesis, and the toxicity of products derived from biotechnology.
