چکیده انگلیسی
Development of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with decreased renal nitric oxide production and increased oxidative stress. We studied nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression in kidney of obese Zucker fa/fa rats, a model of Type 2 obesity-related DN. Male and female rats received a regular (REG) or antioxidant-fortified (AO) diet starting at age 4Â weeks. Quantitative PCR and immunoblot analyses were performed on kidney cortex and medulla to determine levels of endothelial, neuronal and inducible NOS at 6, 13 and 20Â weeks of age. Multiple antibody-specific proteins were detected for each form. These may represent monomeric splice forms, post-translationally modified forms and their dimers, consistent with the known complexity of regulation of these enzymes. Levels of eNOS and nNOS are higher in males than females at 6Â weeks on the REG diet and 13Â weeks on either diet; the relationship is reversed in females at 6Â weeks on the AO diet. Levels of eNOS and nNOS are lower on the AO diet compared to REG, in males at 6 and 13Â weeks and females at 13Â weeks; the reverse is seen in 6Â week females and 20Â week males. All three isoforms show peak levels in the younger animals, at 6 or 13Â weeks. Better preservation of kidney function is associated with higher prevalence of dimers with potential to increase production of NO and lower levels of potentially harmful monomers. Differential expression of NOS isoforms may be linked to renal functional and histopathological changes in this rat model of DN.
