Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact and mechanism of Liraglutide on autophagy and apoptosis of human podocyte induced by high glucose.Methods Human podocytes were cultured in vitro,and grouped into normal control group(NC group),high glucose group(HG group),25 nmol/L Liraglutide group(HG+Lir 25 group),50 nmol/L Liraglutide group(HG+Lir 50 group),Liraglutide+LY294002 group(HG+Lir+LY294002 group),and Liraglutide+3-MA group(HG+Lir+3-MA group).The podocyte activity was detected by CCK-8.The apoptosis rate and morphology of podocytes were detected by flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 staining.The expression of autophagic body and autophagic marker LC3 protein in podocyteswas observed by transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of apoptosis,autophagy and phosphoinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)pathway related proteins in podocytes.Results Compared with NC group,the activity of podocytes and the expression of Bcl-2,Bcl-2/Bax,LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ,p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt proteins in HG group were decreased(P＜0.05),while the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bax,p62,p-mTOR/mTOR proteins were increased in HG group(P＜0.05).There were many podocytes with pyknotic nuclei,the number of autophagic bodies and the number of green fluorescent spots of LC3 protein were decreased in HG group.Compared with HG group,the activity of podocyte increased,and the expression of Bcl-2,Bcl-2/Bax,LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ,p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt protein increased(P＜0.05),while the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bax,p62,p-mTOR/mTOR protein decreased(P＜0.05)in HG+Lir 25 group and HG+Lir 50 group.The number of podocytes with karyopyknosis was reduced,the number of autophagosomes and the number of green fluorescent spots of LC3 protein were increased in HG+Lir 25 group and HG+Lir 50 group,and the above changes indexes were more obvious in the HG+Lir 50 group group.Compared with HG+Lir 50 group,PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway could be regulated,and reduce the improvement of Liraglutide on podocyte viability,apoptosis and autophagy induced by high glucose in HG+Lir+LY294002 group and HG+Lir+3-MA group.Conclusion Liraglutide may promote the autophagy of human podocyte induced by high glucose and inhibit its apoptosis through PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
