Abstract:AIM: To observe the protein expression of SnoN/Ski and ubiqutin ligase Arkadia in rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) exposed to the high glucose. METHODS: Cultured rat glomerular mesangial HBZY-1 cells were divided into control group, 20 mmol/L glucose group, 30 mmol/L glucose group, 30 mmol/L glucose+MG132 group (culture medium containing 30 mmol/L glucose and 0.5 μmol/L specific proteasome inhibitor MG132), and mannitol group. The expression levels of SnoN, Ski and Arkadia were measured by Western blotting analysis, immunofluorescence and laser scanning confocal microscopy. RESULTS: In control GMCs, the expression of SnoN/Ski was rich and Arkadia was weak. After stimulated with high glucose, the expression of SnoN/Ski was decreased and Arkadia was gradually increased (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose group, the levels of SnoN/Ski and Arkadia were mostly reverted by adding the proteasome inhibitor MG132 at concentration of 0.5 μmol/L (P<0.01). The expression levels of SnoN/Ski and Arkadia were not significantly changed in mannitol group in comparison with control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: High glucose decreases the expression of SnoN/Ski through ubiquitin-dependent degradation of SnoN/Ski. The degradation of SnoN/Ski mediated by Arkadia may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
Keywords:SnoN/Ski  Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway  Arkadia  Diabetic nephropathies
