Abstract:
Aim To investigate the expression of SREBP-1(sterol regulatory element binding protein-1) in the kidney of type 1 diabetic rats and the effect of insulin.Methods The type 1 diabetic models were induced by high dose of STZ and rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group,diabetes control group and insulin treated group.At the 2nd week end,the triglyceride(TG) content in the kidney of experimental rats was measured by the assay kit and oil Red O staining.Furthermore,the expression of SREBP-1 protein was detected by the methods of Western blot and immunohistochemistry.The analysis of SREBP-1 mRNA was performed by in situ hybridization.Results Compared with the control group,the type 1 diabetic rats' renal triglyceride content markedly increased,and the result of Oil Red O showed that lipid deposited in the renal tubular epithelium.Triglyceride content markedly decreased after insulin treatment.The difference had statistic meaning,compared with the diabetes model group.Immunohistochemistry presented the results that SREBP-1 protein was up-regulated in renal tubular epithelium of diabetic rats and insulin treatment suppressed the increasing.The results of western blot showed that the precursor and mature segments of SREBP-1 protein in kidney of diabetes group rats were about 1.86 times and 1.77 times respectively of that of normal control group rats.In situ hybridization confirmed the increasing of SREBP-1 mRNA in renal tubular epithelium in diabetic rats.The effect of insulin treatment on SREBP-1 expression was detected by the methods of Western blot and in situ hybridization and it was found that the SREBP-1 mRNA and protein of kidney were down-regulated.Compared with the normal group,the difference has statistic meaning(P
