Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the role of P2X4 in interleukin (IL)-1β secretion of renal tubular epithelial cell under high glucose stimulation.

Methods

Human proximal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2) cells were grown in media with normal glucose concentration (5 mmol/L), high glucose concentration (15, 25, 35 and 50 mmol/L). HK-2 cells were incubated in media with high glucose(35 mmol/L, 48 h) with and without apyrase. HK-2 cells were transfected with P2X4 siRNA. Intracellular K+ concentration was measured by PBFI-AM. Cytosolic free Ca2+ was indicated by Fluo-3/AM. Data from experiments were analyzed by t-test or ANOVA wherever appropriate.

Results

The IL-1β and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels of cell supernatants increased in a dose and time dependent manner under high glucose stimulation. Apyrase significantly inhibited IL-1β level elevations caused by high glucose (8.2±4.9 μg/L vs. 18.5±4.0 μg/L, P < 0.05). High glucose decreased intracellular K+ and increased intracellular Ca2+ in HK-2 cell (P < 0.05). The results suggested that high glucose activated P2X receptors of HK-2 cells. Silencing P2X4 with siRNA diminished the high glucose-induced expression of IL-1β (12.5±2.9 μg/L vs.20.3±5.3 μg/L,P < 0.05).

Conclusion

These results demonstrate that the P2X4 mediates the secretion of IL-1β in renal tubular epithelial cells, which may promote the renal interstitial inflammation in diabetic nephropathy
