Effects of turicamycin on proliferation of high glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells and its mechanism study / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of turicamycin-inhibitor of N-glycosylation of proteins on expression of (?1 integrin,FAK and cyclin D1 in high glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells (CMC), and to explore the mechanism concerned. Methods Cultured HBZY-1 rat mesangial cells were divided into 5 groupscontrol group;high glucose group;mannitol group;high glucose plus TM group; TM group.The expression of ?1 integrin was measured by flow cytometry, expression of FAK and cyclin D1 was measured by immunohistochemistry,and proliferation of GMCs was measured by MTT. Results There was a little expression of ?1 integrin, FAK and cyclin D1 on normal mesangial cells. High glucose induced the proliferation and increased the expression of ?1 integrin and cyclin D1.There was no significant difference in mannitol group as compared to control group.The expression of (?1 integrin FAK and cyclin D1 decreased notably by TM.TM could also decrease proliferative abilitiy of cells. All the effects of TM were dose-dependent. Conclusion Through blocking glycosylation of glycoprotein, TM can suppress cellular proliferation and expression of pi integrin induced by high glucose in a dose-dependent manners,then pi integrin affects the expression of FAK and cyclin D1.
