Podocyte apoptosis and autophagy dysfunction have been found to be responsible for the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of curcumin on the podocyte apoptosis and autophagy in DN and clarify its potential mechanisms.Methods: The mice with DN induced by injection of streptozotocin were treated with curcumin by gavage at a dose of 200 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks. The serum lipid levels were detected by total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) kits at different time points. Renal damage was assessed by detecting urine albumin, serum creatinine (Scr), HE staining and PAS staining. The renal impairment was detected by immunohistochemical staining and TUNEL staining. Western blot assay tested the expression of autophagy-related and apoptotic-related proteins in vivo and vitro. The viabilities and apoptosis of MPC5 cells exposed to high glucose (HG) or curcumin were respectively detected by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry.Results: The results showed that curcumin significantly decreased the progress of DN possibly via increasing autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis of renal cell in DN mice. Besides, podocyte marker proteins (podocalyxin and nephrin) were markedly increased in DN mice by curcumin treatment. The autophagy-related proteins LC3, p62, Beclin1, UVRAG and ATG5 were significantly affected in DN mice by curcumin, along with reducing expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax and caspase-3 and increasing anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In vitro, curcumin increased the viabilities and inhibited apoptosis of MPC5 cells exposed to high glucose (HG). In addition, the podocyte autophagy was enhanced partly via regulating beclin1/UVRAG.Discussion: Together, the results showed that curcumin inhibited podocyte apoptosis and accelerated cell autophagy via regulating Beclin1/UVRAG/Bcl2. Thus, the study showed that curcumin exerted significantly protective effects in DN.Keywords: curcumin, diabetic nephropathy, podocyte apoptosis, autophagy, Beclin1/UVRAG/Bcl2Zhang PFang JZhang JDing SGan DDove Medical Pressarticlecurcumindiabetic nephropathypodocyte apoptosisautophagybeclin1/uvrag/bcl2Specialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 641-652 (2020)
