ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ )infusion on renal c-Abl expression in vivo,and on podocyte c-Abl expression change in cultured mouse podocytes.Methods Twenty four male Sprague-Dawley rats (Group C,D,E and F) were assigned to receive Ang Ⅱ(400 ng· kg-1 min-1) by osmotic minipump and of which 12 rats (Group D and F) were assigned to receive telmisartan (3 mg·kg-1·d-1),six rats received normal saline(Group B),and six rats were used as normal control(Group A).Animals were sacrificed at day 14 (Group C and D),day 28 (Group E and F) respectively.Conditionally immortalized mouse podocytes were used in vitro.Podocytes were studied 2 weeks after thermoswitching from 33℃ to 37℃.Cells were fetal bovine serum(FBS) starved for at least 12 hours prior to stimulation.The cultured podocytes were treated withAngⅡdosesranging from10 -9 mol/L to10 -6 mol/L andfor differenthours.Expression of renal and podocytes c-Abl was examined by immunofluorescence staining,real-time PCR and Western blotting.Results(1) Distribution of c-Abl expression was mainly in the cytoplasm and nuclear of the podocytes in vivo and in vitro. (2) Expressions of c-Abl mRNA and protein wereincreasedinAng Ⅱ-infusedratpodocytesandAng Ⅱ-inducedculturedmouse podocytes(P<0.05),and the effects of Ang Ⅱ were dose-dependent and time-dependent in vitro.Conclusion There are c-Abl mRNA and protein expression in podocytes,and c-Abl may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of Ang Ⅱ -induced podocyte injury.
