Effect of all-trans retinoic acid on expressions of Prohibitin1 and Prohibitin2 in hypoxic damage of renal tubular epithelial cells / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA) on the expressions of Prohibitin1 (PHB1) and Prohi-bitin2 (PHB2) in hypoxic damage of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC).Methods Rat proximal tubular epithelial cell line NRK-52E culture was performed in the 37 ℃ 50 mL/L carbon dioxide incubator with mixture medium of fetal bovine serum and double-antibody(100 mL medium plus 5 mL fetal calf serum and 1 mL double-antibody).After 3 times cell propagation,the cells were divided into 3 groupsnormal group,model group and ATRA intervention group.The normal group wasn't disposed,and the model group was put into vacuum tank filled with hypoxic gas(950 mL/L nitrogen and 50 mL/L carbon dioxide) to induce a hypoxic damage of RTEC.The ATRA intervention group was added 0.1 μmol/L ATRA and was treated with hypoxic gas as model group.After 24 h and 36 h,the mRNA expressions of PHB1,PHB2 and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were measured by using real-time PCR method,and the protein expressions of PHB1,PHB2 and TGF-β1 were detected by using Western blot method.Results 1.Compared with normal group,NRK-52E cells PHB1,PHB2 protein expressions and mRNA expressions at 2time points(24 h,36 h) were significantly decreased in model group and ATRA intervention group (all P ＜ 0.05),and the longer hypoxia time,the lower expression value.Compared with model group,NRK-52E cells PHB1 and PHB2 protein expressions and mRNA expressions in ATRA intervention group were increased significantly at 2 time points (all P ＜ O.05).2.Compared with normal group,NRK-52E cells TGF-β1 expressions and mRNA expressions at 2 time points(24 h,36 h) were significantly increased in model group and ATRA intervention group(all P ＜ 0.05),and the longer hypoxia time,the higher expression value;Compared with model group,NRK-52E cells TGF-β1 protein expressions and mRNA expressions in ATRA intervention group were decreased significantly at 2 time points(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions ATRA can significantly up-regulate the mRNA expressions and protein expressions of PHB1 and PHB2 in hypoxic damage of RTEC,and ATRA may have a protective effect against hypoxic damage.
