Effects of sinomenine on PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway and mesangial hyperplasia in rats with adriamycin-induced nephropathy by Liu Yue, Li Peng-yuan, Zhang Qing-hua, Yan Dan

“…Objective To explore the effect of sinomenine on the signal pathway of phosphatidyl-3 kinase（PI3 K）/mammalian target of rapamycin（mTOR）and mesangial hyperplasia in renal tissue of rats with adriamycin-induced nephropathy and elucidate its protective mechanism.Methods A total of 50 SD rats were selected, 10 rats were randomly injected with normal saline via caudal vein as control group, the other 40 rats were injected with adriamycin 5 mg/kg via caudal vein for 7 days to prepare nephrotic syndrome（NS）model.After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the groups of model（NS）,sinomenine low-dose（25 mg/kg）,medium-dose（50 mg/kg）and high-dose（100 mg/kg）（n=10 each）.Control and NS groups received normal saline through abdominal cavity and sinomenine groups were given corresponding doses of drugs once daily for 28 days.At 24 hours after the last administration, blood and urine samples of rats in each group were collected and rats sacrificed, renal tissue samples harvested, serum creatinine（Scr）and urea nitrogen（BUN）were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）;24-hour urine protein was detected by Coomassie brilliant blue staining; hematoxylin-eosin staining（HE）was utilized for analyzing the pathological changes of kidney and mesangial matrix index（M/G）;transmission electron microscopy for observing the thickening of glomerular basement membrane of kidney; Western blot for detecting the expressions of p-PI3 K/PI3 K,p-mTOR/mTOR,fibronectin（FN）and type IV collagen（COL4）in renal tissue.Results As compared with control group, there were pathological damages such as the increase of glomerular mesangial matrix, the expansion of renal tubule lumen and severe thickening of glomerular basement membrane.M/G and renal function indicators Scr, BUN,24-hour urine protein and renal tissue were elevated.The protein expressions of p-PI3 K,p-mTOR,FN and COL4 rose markedly in NS group（P<0.05）.As compared with NS group, sinomenine high/medium/low dose groups alleviated pathological damage such as glomerular basement membrane thickening, M/G,Scr, BUN,24-hour urine protein, renal tissue p-PI3 K,expressions of mTOR,FN and COL4 proteins declined markedly in sinomenine low/medium/high-dose groups（P<0.05）.As compared with low-dose sinomenine group, glomerular basement membrane thickening was the least pathologically damaged and M/G,Scr, BUN,24-hour urine protein, renal tissue p-PI3 K,p-mTOR,FN and COL4 declined markedly in sinomenine medium/high-dose group（P<0.05）.Conclusions Sinomenine may inhibit the activation of PI3 K/mTOR signaling pathway, reduce the proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells and delay the process of nephrotic syndrome.…”

Nod2-Nodosome in a Cell-Free System: Implications in Pathogenesis and Drug Discovery for Blau Syndrome and Early-Onset Sarcoidosis by Tomoyuki Iwasaki, Naoe Kaneko, Yuki Ito, Hiroyuki Takeda, Tatsuya Sawasaki, Toshio Heike, Kiyoshi Migita, Kazunaga Agematsu, Atsushi Kawakami, Shinnosuke Morikawa, Sho Mokuda, Mie Kurata, Junya Masumoto

“…Notably, the ALPHA signal between Nod2-WT and RICK was increased upon incubation with MDP, but not when incubated with the same concentrations, L-alanine, D-isoglutamic acid, or the MDP-D-isoform. Thus, we successfully developed Nod2-nodosome in a cell-free system reflecting its function in vivo, and it can be useful for screening Nod2-nodosome-targeted therapeutic molecules for BS/EOS and granulomatous inflammatory diseases.…”
