糖尿病腎病(diabetic nephropathy，DN)是糖尿病的微血管并發(fā)癥，也是導(dǎo)致終末期腎病(end-stage renal disease, ESRD)最常見(jiàn)的基礎(chǔ)疾病之一。其發(fā)病機(jī)制復(fù)雜，近年來(lái)，代謝性炎癥與糖尿病腎病的關(guān)系越來(lái)越受到重視。目前，以纈沙坦為代表的血管緊張素II受體拮抗劑(angiotension Ⅱ receptor blocker，ARB)在DN尤其是早期DN治療中的作用不斷被證實(shí)，研究表明，纈沙坦具有降低CRP、IL- 6 等炎癥因子的作用[1]，然而其作用機(jī)制尚未完全明了。本文從內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激(endoplasmic reticulum stress，ERS)的角度，研究觀察纈沙坦對(duì)早期糖尿病大鼠腎臟內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激相關(guān)蛋白IRE1α、JNK及其下游炎癥因子中性粒細(xì)胞趨化因子MCP-1表達(dá)的影響，探討其抑制炎癥反應(yīng)的相關(guān)機(jī)制。

3討論

糖尿病腎病的發(fā)病機(jī)制除蛋白激酶C(PKC)學(xué)說(shuō)、氧化應(yīng)激(ROS)學(xué)說(shuō)、細(xì)胞因子學(xué)說(shuō)及遺傳分子學(xué)說(shuō)外[2]，炎癥學(xué)說(shuō)目前倍受關(guān)注。微炎癥反應(yīng)和隨后的細(xì)胞外基質(zhì)擴(kuò)張是上述機(jī)制在糖尿病腎病中進(jìn)展的共同途徑，炎癥通路在糖尿病腎病的進(jìn)展中發(fā)揮著核心作用[3]。

湖南省在治理“新官不理舊事”方面，拿出了很多力度頗大的措施，起到的效果也很明顯，這從湖南省從嚴(yán)治黨、依法治理方面就可見(jiàn)一斑。比如，記者近日在湖南省高級(jí)人民法院采訪，就了解到了一起“以新官不理舊事為由拒付貨款，村民起訴獲得法院支持”的案例。被告某村委會(huì)三年時(shí)間里在原告田某（某鎮(zhèn)郵電局的一名臨聘人員）處訂閱報(bào)紙，三年共欠原告報(bào)刊費(fèi)1409元，并向原告田某出具了一張條據(jù)。后來(lái)，該村村委會(huì)換屆，原告多次找被告某村委會(huì)催要此款，被告某村委會(huì)卻以“新官不理舊事”為由拒付款。原告田某向湘陰縣人民法院起訴請(qǐng)求法院判令被告某村委會(huì)向原告田某支付貨款1409元，湘陰縣人民法院一審作出了支持原告訴訟請(qǐng)求的判決。

DM患者腎臟存在局部RAS系統(tǒng)的激活，ANGII生成增多，降解減慢，從而導(dǎo)致腎臟局部ANGII的濃度增加[4]。體外實(shí)驗(yàn)已發(fā)現(xiàn)，ANGII可誘導(dǎo)腎小管細(xì)胞的NF-κB的激活，進(jìn)而引起炎癥反應(yīng)[5]。Titan SM[6]聯(lián)合應(yīng)用ACEI與ARB治療糖尿病腎病患者，尿MCP-1(中性粒細(xì)胞趨化因子1)呈下降趨勢(shì)。腎臟 MCP-1 的增加是糖尿病腎病患者腎臟損傷的顯著特點(diǎn)，是導(dǎo)致單核巨噬細(xì)胞浸潤(rùn)腎組織的重要因素[7]。本實(shí)驗(yàn)研究中我們也發(fā)現(xiàn)，DM組大鼠模型6周時(shí)腎組織中的MCP-1表達(dá)量增高，同時(shí)炎性細(xì)胞浸潤(rùn)明顯。DM+V組，MCP-1蛋白表達(dá)水平下調(diào)，同時(shí)炎癥細(xì)胞浸潤(rùn)減輕，并伴有24 h尿蛋白定量降低，提示纈沙坦具有減降低炎癥細(xì)胞聚集，抑制炎癥反應(yīng)的作用。

然而對(duì)于糖尿病腎病中炎癥反應(yīng)發(fā)生的原因，目前尚未完全明確。越來(lái)越多的研究顯示，內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激(ERS)與炎癥反應(yīng)關(guān)系密切。內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)是多種蛋白的主要合成場(chǎng)所，當(dāng)各種因素導(dǎo)致內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)穩(wěn)態(tài)被打破，引起的內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)中出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤折疊及未折疊蛋白在腔內(nèi)聚集的狀態(tài)稱(chēng)為內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激。適度的ERS可以恢復(fù)ER及內(nèi)環(huán)境穩(wěn)態(tài)，保持細(xì)胞活性，但當(dāng)外界刺激因素持續(xù)存在時(shí)，過(guò)強(qiáng)或過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的ERS將最終導(dǎo)致細(xì)胞的炎癥反應(yīng)及凋亡[8]。腎組織系膜細(xì)胞內(nèi)含有豐富的內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)，為ERS的發(fā)生提供了結(jié)構(gòu)基礎(chǔ)，同時(shí)糖尿病腎病患者伴隨著高血糖、氧化應(yīng)激、ANGII等多種破壞內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)穩(wěn)態(tài)的因素[9]，提示持續(xù)存在的ERS可能參與了DN中炎癥反應(yīng)的發(fā)生。本研究檢測(cè)了ERS相關(guān)蛋白IRE1及下游炎癥相關(guān)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子激酶JNK，探討ANGII受體抑制劑纈沙坦抑制炎癥反應(yīng)，保護(hù)腎臟的潛在機(jī)制。

IRE-1(肌醇依賴(lài)酶1)是定位于內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)膜上介導(dǎo)內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)信號(hào)的重要蛋白質(zhì)分子,與炎癥反應(yīng)的發(fā)生密切相關(guān)。生理?xiàng)l件下與內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)腔內(nèi)的蛋白質(zhì)GRP78結(jié)合而處于失活狀態(tài)；內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激發(fā)生后,使內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)腔內(nèi)大量未折疊和/或錯(cuò)誤折疊的蛋白質(zhì)生成增加,可競(jìng)爭(zhēng)結(jié)合GRP78,使其與IRE-1解離,促進(jìn)IRE-1磷酸化為P-IRE1后活化[10]。本研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，DM組大鼠腎臟IRE1α蛋白及核酸表達(dá)上調(diào)，同時(shí)P-IRE1α蛋白量增加，提示DM大鼠腎臟6周時(shí)可能已發(fā)生ERS，6周時(shí)已有明顯炎癥反應(yīng)，可能持續(xù)存在的ERS促進(jìn)了炎癥反應(yīng)的發(fā)生。Cao等[11]研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在8周時(shí)DM大鼠腎臟中存在GRP78 表達(dá)的增加，ERS激活，給予氯沙坦治療后，內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激及相關(guān)凋亡反應(yīng)減輕，但未探及對(duì)炎癥反應(yīng)的影響。本實(shí)驗(yàn)研究表明給予纈沙坦的DM+V組大鼠腎臟IRE1α蛋白及核酸表達(dá)下調(diào)，P-IRE1α蛋白量減少，炎癥反應(yīng)減輕，提示纈沙坦可能減輕了DM大鼠腎臟中ERS狀態(tài)，進(jìn)而減輕了相關(guān)的炎癥反應(yīng)。

JNK (c-Jun 氨基端激酶)是負(fù)責(zé)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子 c-Jun 氨基端磷酸化的激酶。經(jīng)許多生理及病理信號(hào)刺激后(如生長(zhǎng)因子、環(huán)境因素、細(xì)胞因子等應(yīng)激)，JNK被激活并轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)到細(xì)胞核，使核內(nèi)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子 c-Jun 的氨基末端磷酸化，進(jìn)而激活c-Jun而增強(qiáng)其轉(zhuǎn)錄活性。進(jìn)而引起下游炎癥因子(包括MCP-1)的激活[12]。因此，JNK 通路是介導(dǎo)巨噬細(xì)胞相關(guān)的腎損傷的重要途徑。ERS情況下，活化的IRE1α(P-IRE1α)結(jié)合TRAF2，募集并磷酸化下游蛋白JNK，促進(jìn)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子 C-Jun的激活，從而編碼多種炎癥介質(zhì)的基因表達(dá)[13]。本實(shí)驗(yàn)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)DM組、DM+V組大鼠腎臟JNK蛋白及核酸表達(dá)均無(wú)明顯變化，但是DM組P-JNK蛋白量增加，纈沙坦治療后DM+V組P-JNK蛋白量減少。提示在DM大鼠腎臟中由于ERS導(dǎo)致的JNK磷酸化的激活占主要作用，JNK蛋白表達(dá)并不明顯。纈沙坦可能是抑制了ERS，減少了JNK蛋白的磷酸化，進(jìn)而抑制了炎癥反應(yīng)。

對(duì)于ANGII受體抑制劑纈沙坦如何抑制了ERS，其作用機(jī)制尚不明確，可能與以下因素有關(guān)：①ANGII具有強(qiáng)大的促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖和肥大，增加ECM合成的效應(yīng)[14]。使得蛋白質(zhì)的大量合成，增加了內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)的蛋白負(fù)荷，進(jìn)而引起ERS；②ANGII可誘導(dǎo)系膜細(xì)胞活性氧自由基(Ros)的產(chǎn)生[15]，及血管內(nèi)皮細(xì)胞細(xì)胞內(nèi)Ca2+異常升高[16]，影響內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)的穩(wěn)態(tài)，引起ERS； AT1受體抑制與其受體結(jié)合，減弱了ERS的激活條件。另外，ARB類(lèi)藥物有明顯的降低尿蛋白的作用，減少了腎小管上皮細(xì)胞對(duì)尿蛋白的重吸收，進(jìn)而減輕腎小管上皮細(xì)胞的ERS的激活，最終減輕了ERS相關(guān)的炎癥反應(yīng)。

總之，我們的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，糖尿病大鼠腎臟中存在內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激和炎癥反應(yīng)的激活，纈沙坦可能部分通過(guò)抑制內(nèi)質(zhì)網(wǎng)應(yīng)激中IRE1/JNK/MCP-1通路，減輕炎癥反應(yīng)，從而發(fā)揮腎臟保護(hù)作用。

Topicsofinterest- ‘TargetingRegulatorsofG-proteinsignalling(RGS)proteinsinmovementdisorders’

Following on from the last article on the descriptions of the basal ganglia model in movement disorders (3rd edition); this related communication refers to our recently published research (Ko et al., 2014) on the pathophysiological roles of RGS proteins in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID).

Although the cause of LID remains unknown, evidence has suggested that repeated, pulsatile stimulation of the dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia contributes to the development of LID. This process is commonly referred to as ‘priming’ and is the abnormal long-term stimulation of dopamine receptor subtypes, which belong to the well-known class of proteins called G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Ultimately, priming causes abrupt functional changes in second messenger signalling mechanisms (Aubert et al., 2005)that lead to the development and expression of dyskinesia.

In our published paper (Ko et al., 2014), we focused our attention on RGS proteins which are known to modulate GPCRs (Hepler, 1999). Specifically, we investigated the role of RGS protein subtype 4 and its pathophysiological role in the expression of PD and LID motor symptoms. Our experiments utilised the well-established 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rat model (Cenci et al., 1998) and progressed from a series of in vivo to in vitro explorations, in an attempt to fully characterise the functional changes of RGS4 in PD and LID.

The main findings from our research demonstrated that RGS4 proteins were involved in the expression of LID. This was seen following correlation analyses (r=0.93,P<0.06) of RGS4 mRNA with abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) in L-DOPA-treated 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. Thereafter, we innovatively suppressed the expression of RGS4 mRNA using antisense oligonucleotides, which were chronically delivered into the brain through osmotic mini-pumps. We found that dampening the expression of RGS4 mRNA was able to reduce the induction of AIMs and the subsequent development of marked molecular changes associated with LID, such as dopamine receptor super-sensitisation.Our key findings indicated that such second messenger signalling proteins may provide for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of movement disorders and/ or other neurological disorders.

【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and related inflammation in the kidneys of rats with diabetic nephropathy and the effect of valsartan on these lesions. Methods The diabetic rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Thirty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=10), diabetic group (n=12), and valsartan group (n=12). Valsartan (10 mg/kg) was administered daily by gavage from the next day of the diabetes induction for 6 weeks. The expression and distribution of ERS-related proteins P-IRE1α, P-JNK, and MCP-1 were examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of IRE1α, JNK and MCP-1. The 24-hour urine protein excretion, Scr, and BUN were checked.ResultsCompared with the control group, infiltration of inflammatory cells was aggravated in the kidneys of DM+V group, the expressions of P-IRE1α,IRE1α,P-JNK,MCP-1 were significantly increased, and the levels of IRE1mRNA and MCP-1mRNA increased compared with the DM group, infiltration of inflammation cells was alleviated in the kidney of DM+V group, the protein expressions of P-IRE1α,IRE1α,P-JNK,MCP-1 were significantly reduced, the levels of IRE1mRNA and MCP-1mRNA were reduced. While there was no significant difference in the expression of JNK mRNA and protions among the three groups. ConclusionsERS and related inflammation are activated in the kidney of diabetic rats. Inhibition of the IRE1/JNK/MCP-1 pathway of ERS and related inflammation might be responsible for the protective effects of valsartan on the kidneys of diabetic rats.
