Abstract

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerulosclerosis in diabetes. However, their involvement in the development of the early phase of diabetic nephropathy has not been fully elucidated. We investigated the effects of AGE on growth and on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in human cultured mesangial cells. We prepared three immunochemically distinct AGE by incubating bovine serum albumin (BSA) with glucose, glyceraldehyde, or glycolaldehyde. When human mesangial cells were cultured with various types of AGE-BSA, viable cell numbers as well as DNA syntheses were significantly decreased. All of the AGE-BSA were found to significantly increase p53 and Bax protein accumulations and subsequently induce apoptotic cell death in mesangial cells. An antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, significantly prevented the AGE-induced apoptotic cell death in mesangial cells. Human mesangial cells stimulated prostacyclin production by co-cultured glomerular endothelial cells. Furthermore, various types of AGE-BSA were found to up-regulate the levels of mRNAs for VEGF and stimulate the secretion of VEGF and MCP-1 proteins in mesangial cells. The results suggest that AGE disturbed glomerular homeostasis by inducing apoptotic cell death in mesangial cells and elicited hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria by stimulating the secretion of VEGF and MCP-1 proteins, thereby being involved in the pathogenesis of the early phase of diabetic nephropathy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
