Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

Changes in podocyte morphology and function are associated with albuminuria and progression of diabetic nephropathy. NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) is the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the kidney and Nox4 is upregulated in podocytes in response to high glucose. We assessed the role of NOX4-derived ROS in podocytes in vivo in a model of diabetic nephropathy using a podocyte-specific NOX4-deficient mouse, with a major focus on the development of albuminuria and ultra-glomerular structural damage.

Methods

Streptozotocin-induced diabetes-associated changes in renal structure and function were studied in male floxedNox4 and podocyte-specific, NOX4 knockout (podNox4KO) mice. We assessed albuminuria, glomerular extracellular matrix accumulation and glomerulosclerosis, and markers of ROS and inflammation, as well as glomerular basement membrane thickness, effacement of podocytes and expression of the podocyte-specific protein nephrin.

Results

Podocyte-specific Nox4 deletion in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice attenuated albuminuria in association with reduced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and prevention of the diabetes-induced reduction in nephrin expression. In addition, podocyte-specific Nox4 deletion reduced glomerular accumulation of collagen IV and fibronectin, glomerulosclerosis and mesangial expansion, as well as glomerular basement membrane thickness. Furthermore, diabetes-induced increases in renal ROS, glomerular monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and protein kinase C alpha (PKC-α) were attenuated in podocyte-specific NOX4-deficient mice.

Conclusions/interpretation

Collectively, this study shows the deleterious effect of Nox4 expression in podocytes by promoting podocytopathy in association with albuminuria and extracellular matrix accumulation in experimental diabetes, emphasising the role of NOX4 as a target for new renoprotective agents.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.
