BACKGROUND:Transient receptor potential channel C6 (TRPC6) is a new and important slit diaphragm-associated protein in podocytes involved in regulating glomerular filter function. Glomerular TRPC6 expression is closely associated with proteinuria in diabetic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of canonical TRPC6 in mouse podocytes induced by high glucose, and to explore the possible mechanism of diabetic kidney disease. METHODS:Mouse podocyte cels were cultured and divided into normal glucose group (5.6 mmol/L D-glucose), normal control group (5.6 mmol/L D-glucose+25 mmol/L mannitol) and experimental groups which were in the environment of high glucose (30 mmol/L). The experimental groups included high glucose group, valsartan treatment groups (10-5 mol/L) and U73122 control group (10μmol/L U73122). After 48 hours, the expressions of mRNA and proteins of TRPC6, nephrin and angiotensin II (AngII) were detected respectively by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, the expressions of mRNA and proteins of TRPC6 and angiotensin II were markedly elevated in the high glucose group (P < 0.01), while the expressions of mRNA and proteins of nephrin were decreased (P < 0.01). The mRNA and proteins of TRPC6 and angiotensin II expressions were significantly down-regulated by valsartan (P < 0.05,P < 0.01), while the mRNA and protein expressions of nephrin were effectively up-regulated (P < 0.05). Compared with the high glucose group, the expressions of mRNA and proteins of TRPC6 and angiotensin II were ameliorated in the U73122 control group. The expressions of mRNA and proteins of TRPC6, nephrin and angiotensin II had no statistical significance between the normal control group and normal glucose group (P > 0.05). Angiotensin II-TRPC6 signaling pathway may mediate high glucose-induced podocyte injury, meanwhile it provides a new theoretical basis for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease, by which the angiotensin receptor blockers can protect podocytes in diabetic kidney disease.

This study aimed to investigate the immune adjuvant effect and mechanism induced by chitosan nanoparticles carrying pJME/GM-CSF. In this study, plasmid DNA (pJME/GM-CSF) was encapsulated in chitosan to prepare chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles using a complex coacervation process. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the type of infiltrating cells at the site of intramuscular injection. The phenotype and functional changes of splenic DCs were measured by flow cytometry after different immunogens were injected intramuscularly. The killing activity of CTLs was assessed using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. The preparation of chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles matched the expected theoretical results. Our results also found that, after pJME/GM-CSF injection, the incoming cells were a mixture of macrophages, neutrophils, and immature DCs. Meanwhile, pJME/GM-CSF increased the expression of MHC class II molecules on splenic DCs, and enhanced their Ag capture and presentation functions. Cell-mediated immunity was induced by the vaccine. Furthermore, chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles outperformed the administration of standard pJME/GM-CSF in terms of DC recruitment, antigen processing and presentation, and vaccine enhancement. These findings reveal that chitosan could be used as delivery vector for DNA vaccine intramuscular immunizations, and enhance pJME/GM-CSF-induced cellular immune responses.
