Bicalutamide Elicits Renal Damage by Causing Mitochondrial Dysfunction via ROS Damage and Upregulation of HIF-1. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093400. [PMID: 32403414 PMCID: PMC7247665 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Revised: 04/19/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Combined androgen blockade using bicalutamide (Bic) is a therapeutic choice for treating prostate cancer (PCa). However, even at regular clinical dosages, Bic frequently shows adverse effects associated with cardiovascular and renal damage. Previously, we found that Bic selectively damaged mesangial cells compared to tubular cells and in an in vivo rat model, we also found renal damage caused by Bic. In the present study, a rat mesangial cell model was used to further the investigation. Results indicated that Bic enhanced lactate dehydrogenase release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lysosome population and kidney injury molecule-1 and decreased N-cadherin. Bic elicited mitochondrial swelling and reduced the mitochondrial potential, resulting in severe suppression of the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), maximum respiration and ATP production. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α transcriptional activity and messenger RNA were significantly upregulated in dose-dependent manners. The HIF-1α protein reached a peak value at 24 h then rapidly decayed. BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa protein-interacting protein 3 and cleaved caspase-3 were dose-dependently upregulated by Bic (60 μM) and that eventually led to cell apoptosis. It is suggested that Bic induces renal damage via ROS and modulates HIF-1α pathway and clinically, some protective agents like antioxidants are recommended for co-treatment.

Cell biology of mesangial cells: the third cell that maintains the glomerular capillary. Anat Sci Int 2016; 92:173-186. [PMID: 26910209 DOI: 10.1007/s12565-016-0334-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2015] [Accepted: 02/14/2016] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
The renal glomerulus consists of glomerular endothelial cells, podocytes, and mesangial cells, which cooperate with each other for glomerular filtration. We have produced monoclonal antibodies against glomerular cells in order to identify different types of glomerular cells. Among these antibodies, the E30 clone specifically recognizes the Thy1.1 molecule expressed on mesangial cells. An injection of this antibody into rats resulted in mesangial cell-specific injury within 15 min, and induced mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in a reproducible manner. We examined the role of mesangial cells in glomerular function using several experimental tools, including an E30-induced nephritis model, mesangial cell culture, and the deletion of specific genes. Herein, we describe the characterization of E30-induced nephritis, formation of the glomerular capillary network, mesangial matrix turnover, and intercellular signaling between glomerular cells. New molecules that are involved in a wide variety of mesangial cell functions are also introduced.

J Transl Med 2016; 96:49-59. [PMID: 26568295 PMCID: PMC5399166 DOI: 10.1038/labinvest.2015.133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2015] [Revised: 08/14/2015] [Accepted: 10/17/2015] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In kidney glomeruli, mesangial cells provide structural support to counteract for expansile forces caused by pressure gradients and to regulate the blood flow. Glomerular injury results in proliferation and aberrant migration of mesangial cells, which is the pathological characteristic of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. To date, molecular changes that occur in mesangial cells during glomerular injury and their association with the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis remain largely unclear. During the search for proteins regulating the morphology of mesangial cells, we found that afadin, a multi-domain F-actin-binding protein, and β-catenin are expressed in cell-cell contact sites of cultured mesangial cells and mesangial cells in vivo. Afadin forms a protein complex with β-catenin in glomeruli and in cultured mesangial cells. Protein expression of afadin at mesangial intercellular junctions was dramatically decreased in mesangial proliferative nephritis in rats and in patients with glomerulonephritis. RNA interference-mediated depletion of afadin in cultured mesangial cells did not affect proliferation rate but resulted in delayed directional cell migration. Furthermore, reorientation of the Golgi complex at the leading edges of migrating cells in wound-healing assay was disturbed in afadin-depleted cells, suggesting the role of aberrant migratory polarity in the pathogenesis of proliferative glomerulonephritis. These data shed light on glomerulonephritis-associated changes in cell-cell adhesion between mesangial cells, which might be related to migratory polarity.

Avian Podocytes, Which Lack Nephrin, Use Adherens Junction Proteins at Intercellular Junctions. J Histochem Cytochem 2015; 64:67-76. [PMID: 26416242 DOI: 10.1369/0022155415611708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2015] [Accepted: 09/19/2015] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Nephrin, a major intercellular junction (ICJ) molecule of mammalian podocytes in the renal glomerulus, is absent in the avian genome. We hypothesized that birds use ICJ molecules other than nephrin in their podocytes. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the possible involvement of adherens junction (AJ) proteins in the ICJs of avian podocytes. We found the AJ proteins N-cadherin and α- and β-catenins in podocytes of quail and chickens but not in those of rats, pigs or humans. The AJ proteins were prominent in avian glomerulus-rich fractions in immunoblot analyses, and in immunofluorescence microscopy analyses, they were localized along glomerular capillary walls appearing in at least two staining patterns: weakly diffuse and distinctly granular. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the significant accumulation of immunogold particles for the AJ proteins were especially evident in avian slit diaphragms and AJs. Furthermore, N-cadherin was found to be expressed in all nephron cells in the early developmental stage but became confined to podocytes during maturation. These results indicate that avian slit diaphragms clearly express AJ proteins as compared with that in the mammal-where AJ proteins are suppressed to an extremely low level-and that avian podocytes are interconnected by AJs per se in addition to slit diaphragms.
