Objective To observe the protective effects of roscovitine on the podocyte injury induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) caused by tunicamycin. Methods The differentiated podocytes cultured at 37℃were randomly di-vided into:(1) Control group, DMSO group and tunicamycin group (TM, 1.0μmol/L). The treatment was given for 3, 6 and 12 hours in three groups. (2) For control group, tunicamycin group, tunicamycin+roscovitine group (20, 40μmol/L, TM+ROS), the treatment was given for 12 hours. The podocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL method. The ex-pressions of Cdk5, GRP78, Caspase-12 and CHOP were detected by Western blot assay. Results (1) Compared with con-trol group and DMSO group, the podocyte apoptosis was increased significantly in a time dependent manner after tunicamy-cin treatment in TM group;the protein expressions of Cdk5, GRP78, Caspase-12 and CHOP were also up-regulated signifi-cantly in TM group (P<0.05). (2) Flow cytometry and TUNEL analysis showed that tunicamycin induced apoptosis in podo-cytes, which was significantly inhibited by roscovitine in a concentration dependent manner in TM+ROS group as compared to that of TM group (P<0.05). The protein expressions of GRP78, Caspase-12 and CHOP were also significantly decreased in a concentration dependent manner in TM+ROS group compared to those of TM group (P<0.05). Conclusion Roscovi-tine, the inhibitor of Cdk5, can reduce the podocyte apoptosis induced by tunicamycin. The protective effects of roscovitine on podocytes can be a novel approach of treating diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To explore the techniques of renal transplantation in diabetic recipients with lilac atherosclerosis.Methods Overall,54 renal transplantations were performed in 51 diabetic recipients with lilac atherosclerosis.The renal arteries were end-side anastomosed to iliac arteries with atherectomy in 19 cases and without atherectomy in 13 cases,or end-end anastomosed to internal iliac arteries through titani- um stapler after atherectomy in 22 cases.Results Primary nonfunetion of renal allografts occurred in 3 cases due to poor blood perfusion of the renal grafts;delayed graft function occurred in 9 cases(17.6%), and the other 42 grafts functioned well immediately after transplantation.Two patients died of sudden cardiac arrest during the perioperative period.During a follow-up of 11-70 months,the 1-year and 3-year survival rates of recipients/grafts were 89.8%/87.8% and 84.4%/81.3% ,respectively.The main cause of graft loss was recipients' death with functioning graft.Conclusions The artery anastomosis of renal graft in di- abetic recipients with lilac atherosclerosis is difficult to perform.In order to achieve enough blood peffusion of the renal graft,it is important to select proper artery for anastomosis and to perform atherectomy.The recipi- ents with coronary artery disease should receive myocardial revascularization routinely before transplantation.
