Abstract

The p-cresyl sulfate accumulates in kidney disease and may be involved in renal injury. α-Lipoic acid (α-LA) acts as an antioxidant in cell injury. We investigated the effects of α-LA treatment on p-cresyl sulfate-induced renal tubular injury. p-Cresyl sulfate induced cell death, and increased Bax/Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3, Beclin-1, and LC3BII/LC3BI in human renal proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells, which was counteracted by α-LA treatment. p-Cresyl sulfate-induced apoptosis was reduced by autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine, and p-cresyl sulfate induced autophagy was reduced by pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. Moreover, p-cresyl sulfate treatment increased the expression of ER stress proteins and decreased the expression of baculoviral IAP repeat-containing proteins 6; these effects were prevented by α-LA treatment. Apoptosis and autophagy were associated with the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear translocation of the nuclear factor-κB p65 subunit. Pretreatment inhibitors of p38 and JNK, and knockdown of ATF4 gene reduced apoptosis- and autophagy-related protein expressions in p-cresyl sulfate treated HK-2 cells. These results demonstrate that α-lipoic acid attenuated p-cresyl sulfate-induce...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
