Abstract:
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of rosiglitazone on the synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) induced by high glucose in rat mesangial cells. Methods The mesangial cells were divided into six groups: control group ( C, 5.6 mmol/L glucose), mannitol group (M, 24.2 mmol/L mannitol+group C), high glucose group( H, 30 mmol/L glucose), R1 group(R1, group H+10 μmol/ L rosiglitazone), R2 group (R2, group H+20 μmol/L rosiglitazone), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) group (N, group H+5 mmol/L NAC, NAC was added 1 h before the stimulation of high glucose). The level of ROS was measured by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The mRNA and the protein expression of MCP-1 were semi-quantitatively determined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and ELISA respectively. Results No significant differences of ROS and MCP-1 were found between control group and mannitol group. The intracellular ROS induced by high DOI:10.3760/cma.j.issn. 1001-7097.2009.01.011glucose increased by 4.1-fold compared to control group (P<0.01), which was prevented by rosiglitazone (20 μmol/L) and NAC respectively. The MCP-1 mRNA expression in group R2 and group N was significantly lower than that in group H (P<0.01). The MCP-1 protein level in group H [(940.9±20.3) ng/L] was higher than that in group C [(403.0±8.1) ng/L] (P<0.01), and the expression of MCP-1 protein in group R2 [(562.5±15.3) ng/L] and group N [(539.8±8.3) ng/L] was lower than that in group H (P<0.01). Conclusion Rosiglitazone may suppress high glucose-induced MCP-1 expression by reducing the level of ROS, which may be one of the mechanisms that rosiglitazone plays a direct role in the protection of kidney.
