Inhibitory Effect of Resveratrol on LPS-Induced Glomerular Mesangial Cells Proliferation and TGF-β1 Expression via Sphingosine Kinase 1 Pathway
To elucidate the renoprotective effect of resveratrol (RSV) on sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) signaling pathway and expression of its downstream molecules including activator protein 1 (AP-1) and transformation growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs).
Methods:
2
The rat GMCs line (HBZY-1) were cultured and randomly divided into 5 groups
including control
LPS (100 ng/mL)
and 5
10
20 μmol/L RSV-treated groups. In addition
SphK1 inhibitor (SK-Ⅱ) was used as positive control. GMCs were pretreated with RSV for 2 h and treated with LPS for another 24 h. GMCs proliferation was determined by 3-(4
5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2
5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The proteins expression of SphK1
p-c-Jun and TGF-β1 in GMCs were detected by Western blot
and DNA-binding activity of AP-1 was performed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The binding activity between RSV and SphK1 protein was detected by AutoDock Vina and visualized by Discovery Studio 2016.
Results:
2
LPS could obviously stimulate GMCs proliferation
elevate SphK1
p-c-Jun and TGF-β1 expression levels and increase the DNA-binding activity of AP-1 (
P
<
0.05 or
P
<
0.01)
whereas these effects were significantly blocked by RSV pretreatment. It was also suggested that the effect of RSV was similar to SK-Ⅱ (
P
>
0.05). Moreover
RSV exhibited good binding affinity towards SphK1
with docking scores of –8.1 kcal/moL and formed hydrogen bonds with ASP-178 and LEU-268 in SphK1.
Conclusion:
2
RSV inhibited LPS-induced GMCs proliferation and TGF-β1 expression
which may be independent of its hypoglycemic effect on preventing the development of mesangial cell fibrosis and closely related to the direct inhibition of SphK1 pathway.
