Mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 mediates reduced nerve conduction velocity in experimental diabetic neuropathy: interactions with aldose reductase

Diabetes

Abstract

This study examined the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in transducing high glucose into deficits in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) that are characteristic of diabetic neuropathy. p38 activation and NCV were measured in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats treated with a p38 inhibitor, an aldose reductase inhibitor, and insulin. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from diabetic animals showed marked activation of p38 at 12 weeks of diabetes. Insulin treatment for the last 4 of 12 weeks of diabetes normalized p38 activation. Furthermore, activation was completely prevented by 12 weeks' treatment with the aldose reductase inhibitor, fidarestat. Immunocytochemistry localized activation of p38 to the nuclei of virtually all sensory neuronal phenotypes in the DRG, and activation was clear in diabetes, as was inhibition by fidarestat and by the p38 inhibitor SB 239063. In the ventral horn of the spinal cord, p38 was present in motoneuron cell bodies; and again, activation in diabetes and fidarestat inhibition was clear. Treatment of diabetic animals with a specific inhibitor of p38 (SB 239063), fidarestat, or insulin also prevented reductions in both motor and sensory NCV. These findings suggest that increased polyol pathway ...Continue Reading
