- W2051276221 abstract "ACE inhibitors improve nephrin expression in Zucker rats with glomerulosclerosis.BackgroundPodocyte injury is associated with many forms of human and experimental proteinuric glomerular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of nephrin expression in a model of obesity and type II diabetes mellitus, the obese Zucker rat, as well as to investigate whether nephrin expression is influenced by treatment with quinapril or diltiazem, 2 drugs frequently used in type II diabetes mellitus.MethodsObese Zucker rats were treated with either quinapril or diltiazem at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight per day and 100 mg/kg body weight per day, respectively, for 6 months. Real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunoperoxidase assays were used to assess and quantify nephrin gene expression and other markers of podocyte damage, such as desmin and synaptopodin protein.ResultsQuinapril treatment prevented the reduction of nephrin levels compared with the control group, while diltiazem treatment did not prevent the reduction. Similar results were obtained when other phenotypic markers, such as desmin, were assessed. Similarly, synaptodin showed this tendency, although it did not achieve statistically significant differences.ConclusionThe podocyte phenotypic changes assessed in a model of obesity and type II diabetes mellitus were corrected by an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. These results could be associated with an improvement in the slit diaphragm, and therefore, in the maintenance of the filtration barrier. Diltiazem did not achieve similar results.
