1 18941912 Adiponectin receptor ADIPOR1 activates the intracellular second messenger AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) that participates in the control of the oxidative stress and apoptosis.
2 18941912 ADIPOR1 and catalytic AMPK sub-units alpha1 and alpha2 were revealed in normal rat glomeruli and incubation of freshly isolated rat glomeruli with either adiponectin or AICAR led to the activation by phosphorylation of catalytic AMPK.
3 18941912 It is concluded that glomerular cells express a functional adiponectin receptor ADIPOR1 which, through activation of AMPK, may play important roles in the control of oxidative stress and cell survival within the glomerulus.
4 20861022 Here, we show that HG inactivates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), up-regulates Nox4, enhances NADPH oxidase activity, and induces podocyte apoptosis.
5 20861022 Activation of AMPK blocked HG-induced expression of Nox4, NADPH oxidase activity, and apoptosis.
6 20861022 Inactivation of AMPK by HG up-regulated the expression and phosphorylation of p53, and p53 acted downstream of Nox4.
7 20861022 Glomeruli isolated from these mice showed decreased phosphorylation of AMPK and enhanced expression of Nox4 and p53.
8 20861022 Pharmacologic activation of AMPK by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-riboside in OVE26 mice attenuated Nox4 and p53 expression.
9 20861022 Our results uncover a novel function of AMPK that integrates metabolic input to Nox4 and provide new insight for activation of p53 to induce podocyte apoptosis.
10 20861022 The data indicate the potential therapeutic utility of AMPK activators to block Nox4 and reactive oxygen species generation and to reduce urinary albumin excretion in type 1 diabetes.
