[11R-VIVIT inhibits the expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor in podocytes].

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of 11R-VIVIT on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) in podocytes.

METHODS: A LPS-induced proteinuria mouse model and in vitro cultured podocytes treated with LPS were both divided into control group, LPS group and LPS+11 R-VIVIT group. The mRNA and protein expressions of uPAR in mouse kidney tissues and the podocytes were measured by real-time qPCR, laser scanning confocal microscopy and Western blotting.

RESULTS: Compared with LPS group, LPS+11 R-VIVIT group showed a significantly lowered urine albumin/creatinine ratio (P<0.001) and markedly reduced mRNA and protein expressions of uPAR (PuPAR mRNA<0.001; PuPAR=0.001).

CONCLUSION: 11R-VIVIT can ameliorate proteinuria probably by decreasing the expression of uPAR in podocytes.
