ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of gliquidone on the AGEs (advanced glycation end products) -induced RANTES(Regulated upon activation,normal T-cell expressed and secreted) expression of human renal mesangial cells (HRMC). Methods AGEs were prepared by incubation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with high concentration of glucose at 37℃ in vitro. HRMC was cultured in the presence of AGE-BSA (glucose at 50 mmol/L) with or without gliquidone. RANTES mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantity RT-PCR. The concentration of RANTES in the supernatant was quantified by ELISA. Results Gliquidone significantly inhibited the expression and secretion of RANTES induced by AGE-BSA. The inhibition of RANTES expression and secretion was in dose and time dependent manners. Conclusions AGEs is a potential toxin to induce expression of RANTES in HRMCs, which is inhibited by gliquidone
