Abstract:
Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic responses of the anti-proteinuria drugs from the view of podocyte molecule. Methods Adriamycin (ADR) nephropathy was induced by a single tail intravenous injection of adriamycin. Lisinopril, prednisone and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) were administered once a day to the adriamycin-induced nephrotic rats at the first day after adriamycin injection respectively. Renal tissue samples were collected at day 3, 7, 14, and 28 after adriamycin injection respectively. The distribution, mRNA expression and protein expression of nephrin, podocin, CD2AP and ?-actinin-4 were examined by indirect immunofluorescence, real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The interactions among nephrin and podocin, nephrin and CD2AP, as well as the nephrin phosphorylation were detected by immunoprecipitation, respectively. Results Compared to the control rats, 24 h urinary protein of the ADR rats increased significantly at day 14 (P
