Objective To observe the effect of ATF6 on the apoptosis and proliferation of podocytes induced by palmitic acid (PA). Methods Podocytes were stimulated with different doses of PA for 24 h. The expression of cleaved-caspase3 was detected by Western blotting. The podocyte apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), and the expression of ATF6 was tested by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. After the transfection of adenovirus siRNA against ATF6, the proliferation, the cell cycle and apoptosis of potocytes stimulated with PA were tested by MTT or FCM. Results The levels of cleaved - caspase3 and ATF6 of podocytes stimulated with PA were significantly increased by a dose-dependent manner compared with the control group (P<0.05). The apoptosis of podocytes stimulated with PA was increased (P<0.05). Compared with the podocytes stimulated with PA, the apoptosis of podocytes transfected by adenovirus siRNA against ATF6 with PA stimulation was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The proliferation of podocytes transfected by adenovirus siRNA against ATF6 and stimulated with PA, however, was obviously increased compared with the podocytes stimulated with PA (P<0.05). Conclusion ATF6 mediated the apoptosis of podocytes induced by palmitate acid.

Objective To investigate the lesion of podocyte and the expression of renal integrin-hnked kinase (ILK) in a diet-induced hyperlipidemic model of rats. Methods Thirty-six 6-8 week-old female Wistar rats were randomly assigned into three groups, high-fat diet group, rats in each group were sacrificed at the 4th and 10th week respectively. The levels of serum cholesterol and triglyceride were determined by enzymic method. The morphology of podocyte was observed and photographed with electron microscope. The expression of ILK mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. The expressions of ILK and desmin protein were determined by Western blot analysis. The distribution of ILK in renal tissue was examined by immunohistochemieal staining. Results Levels of serum cholesterol and triglyceride, the expression of desmin, renal ILK mRNA and protein, as well as the foot process effacement were significantly up-regulated in both high-fat diet group and simvastatin group as compared with control group. However, all of the above parameters were ameliorated in simvastatin group as compared with high-fat diet group (P<0.01). ILK was mainly expressed in glomendar podocytes and renal tubular cells by immunohistochemical staining, and its change was similar to the results detected by Western blot analysis in each group. A positive correlation was found between ILK protein expression and desmin expression in renal tissue(r=0.93107, R2=0.8669, P<0.01). Conclusions Podocyte lesion can be induced by high-fat diet, which is correlated with over-expression of renal ILK. Simvastatin may play an important role in protecting against podocyte injury induced by hyperlipoidemia, properly through down-regulating ILK expression in renal tissue.

Objective To investigate the expression and correlation of P73 and PS3 proteins in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The immunohistochemistry staining assay was conducted to detect the expression of PS3 and P73 proteins in 46 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus and 30 normal mucosa cases. The protein expressions and clinic pathological observation and the correlation between two proteins were statistically analyzed. Results The expression of P53 and P73 proteins showed differences between esophageal cancer tiksue and normal mucosa ( P = 0.007,0.008) . The expression of P53 appeared to be correlated with lymph node metastasis(P = 0.047) and gender(P =0.028),but not correlated with age, the depth of invasion , differentiation of cancer tissue, gross observation and position of the tumor( P > 0.05 ). The expression of P73 appeared to be correlated with differentiation of cancer tissue and lymph node metastasis ( P = 0. 023, 0.035), but not correlated with age, gender, the depth of invasion,gross observation and position of the tumor (P >0.05). P73 expression was positively corelated with P53 expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus ( r = 0.359 ,P = 0.014 ). Conclusion Both P73 and P53 proteins are associated with the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and participate in the development of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on human renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by high glucose. MethodsCultured HK-2 cells were divided into 5 groups: normal control group, osmolarity control group, high glucose group, high glucose with EPO (5 U/ml)group and high glucose with EPO (10 U/ml)group. The mRNA expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, Smad2, ILK of cells were measured by RT-PCR. The levels of intracellular α-SMA and TGF-β1 protein were measured by immunocytochemistry. ResultsCompared with the control groups, mRNA expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, Smad2, ILK and protein expression of α-SMA and TGF-β1 were increased after high glucose treatment (P<0.01). Compared with the high glucose group, EPO 5 U/ml or EPO 10 U/ml remarkably down-regulated the expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, Smad2 and ILK (P<0.01). ConclusionEPO can inhibit the progression of EMT and the up-regulation of TGF-β1, Smad2 and ILK induced by high glucose.

Objective To investigate the expression changes and significance of Pdlim2 in the glomerular podocyte of hyperlipidemic rats.Methods Forty-five individuals of SD rats were divided randomly into 3 groups (n =15 in each group).The control group was fed with normal diet.The high fat group was fed with high fat diet.The simvastatin group was fed with high fat diet plus with simvastatin gavage (10 mg· kg-1 · d-1).Five rats were sampled randomly from each group at week 4,6,and 10 and the urinary protein excretion,the concentration of serum cholesterol,and the concentration of low density lipoprotein cholestorol were determined,the glomerular podocyte damage in rats was detected by electron microscope,the expression of Pdlim2 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry and by Western blotting.Results The levels of serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholestorol increased significantly in high fat group and simvastatin group at week 4 compared to that in control group(P ＜ 0.05),and the level in simvastatin group was significantly decreased compared with that in high fat group(P ＜ 0.05).The urinary protein levels of high fat group and simvastatin group were significantly higher than that in control group at week 10,and the level in simvastatin group was significantly decreased in high fat group,there was significant difference in each group of comparison(P ＜ 0.05).Podocyte injury was detected by electronic microscopy in high fat group at week 4,and the injury became more serious as the treatment time increased.Podocyte injury in the simvastatin group was significantly less than that in the high fat group and the control group at week 10.The positive staining of Pdlim2 was mainly in the glomeruli and the expression of Pdlim2 of the high fat group was lower than the simvastatin group,and both were lower than the control group at week 10.The expression of Pdlim2 protein of high fat group was lower than that in the control group since week 4(P ＜0.05).The expression of Pdlim2 protein of high fat group was lower than that in the simvastatin group (P＜0.05),and both were lower than the control group at week 10(P＜0.05).Conclusions Hypedipidemia induces podocyte injury before urinary protein,which is suggested to be associated with the decrease of Pdlim2 protein.Simvastatin reduces podocyte toot processes of high fat induced fusion,which may be through protecting the expression of glomerular Pdlim2.
