RESUMO

AIM:In podocytes , autophagy occurs at a high basal level and dysregulated autophagy is associa -ted with a variety of podocytopathies .This paper is to investigate the role of autophagy in sublytic C 5b-9-induced podocyte injury.METHODS: Sublytic complement C5b-9 stimulation was used as an in vitro model.Autophagosomes were con-firmed using monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining.Immunoblotting was used to measure the change of autophagy-related markers.Cellular morphological changes were observed by Wright-Giemsa staining.Immunofluorescence staining and con-focal microscopy were used to detect the expression and distribution of nephrin .The cell viability was assessed by methylth-iazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay.The cell apoptosis was assessed by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/PI staining.RE-SULTS:For ensuring sublytic complement injury , the maximal amounts of anti-podocyte antiserum and 160 ×-diluted nor-mal human serum were used without inducing cell lysis (defined as >5%LDH release).Sublytic C5b-9 promoted autoph-agy of podocytes in vitro.The proautophagic effect of sublytic C 5b-9 manifested in the form of accumulated MDC-labeled vesicles and enhanced the expression of LC 3-Ⅱ.Autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenosine (3-MA) promoted sublytic C5b-9-induced podocyte morphological abnormalities .Compared with the sublytic C5b-9-injured podocytes, 3-MA exposure further decreased the expression of nephrin .3-MA enhanced sublytic C5b-9-induced podocyte apoptosis .CONCLUSION: Sub-lytic C5b-9 attack induces autophagy , which may play a protective role against complement-mediated podocyte injury .

RESUMO

Objective To determine the effect of rapamycin on sublytic C5b-9-induced podocyte adhesion damage,and whether autophagy is involved in this progression.Methods Sublytic complement C5b-9 stimulation was used in vitro.Autophagosomes were viewed using electron microscopy.Western blotting was used to measure the change of autophagy-related markers.Attachment assay was used to assess the adhesion of podocyte.Confocal microscopy was used to explore the expression patterns of cytoskeletal protein F-actin.Flow cytometry was used to measure the level of adhesion-associated protein integrin α3.Results (1) For ensuring sublytic complement injury,the maximal amounts of anti-podocyte antiserum and 160×-diluted normal human serum were used without inducing cell lysis (defined as > 5% LDH release).(2) Sublytic C5b-9 promoted autophagy in podocyte in vitro.The proautophagic effect of sublytic C5b-9 manifested in the form of accumulated autophagosomes and enhanced expression of LC3-lⅡ.(3) Inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyadenine enhanced the effect of sublytic C5b-9-induced podocyte injury,including serious cytoskeleton damage and markedly reduced adhesion of podocyte.(4) Rapamycin treatment significantly improved the above lesions.(5) Rapamycin enhanced autophagy induced by sublytic C5b-9 in podocyte.Conclusions In summary,rapamycin can improve sublytic CSb-9-induced podocyte adhesion damage by appropriate autophagy activation.These findings provide important information for the development of appropriate protocols for the application of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitors in podocytopathy.
