pubmed:abstractText |
The protein kinase C (PKC)-beta isoform has been implicated to play a pivotal role in the development of diabetic kidney disease. We tested this hypothesis by inducing diabetic nephropathy in PKC-beta-deficient (PKC-beta(-/-)) mice. We studied nondiabetic and streptozotocin-induced diabetic PKC-beta(-/-) mice compared with appropriate 129/SV wild-type mice. After 8 weeks of diabetes, the high-glucose-induced renal and glomerular hypertrophy, as well as the increased expression of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and fibronectin, was reduced in PKC-beta(-/-) mice. Furthermore, the high-glucose-induced expression of the profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 and connective tissue growth factor were significantly diminished in the diabetic PKC-beta(-/-) mice compared with diabetic wild-type mice, suggesting a role of the PKC-beta isoform in the regulation of renal hypertrophy. Notably, increased urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio persisted in the diabetic PKC-beta(-/-) mice. The loss of the basement membrane proteoglycan perlecan and the podocyte protein nephrin in the diabetic state was not prevented in the PKC-beta(-/-) mice as previously demonstrated in the nonalbuminuric diabetic PKC-alpha(-/-) mice. In summary, the differential effects of PKC-beta deficiency on diabetes-induced renal hypertrophy and albuminuria suggest that PKC-beta contributes to high-glucose-induced TGF-beta1 expression and renal fibrosis, whereas perlecan, as well as nephrin, expression and albuminuria is regulated by other signaling pathways.
