Mechanisms of glucose-enhanced extracellular matrix accumulation in rat glomerular mesangial cells

Abstract
In view of the importance of mesangial extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in the pathogenesis of diabetic glomerulosclerosis, we investigated 1) the effects of high glucose on ECM production by rat glomerular mesangial cells in culture (study A) and 2) the mechanisms underlying these effects, particularly the role of high sugar levels irrespective of intracellular metabolism (study B1) and of excess glucose disposal via the polyol pathway and associated biochemical alterations (study B2). Cells were cultured for 4 weeks, through six to eight passages, under the experimental conditions indicated below and, at each passage, the levels of fibronectin (FN), laminin (LAM), and collagen types I (C-I), III (C-III), IV (C-IV), and VI (C-VI) in media and cell extracts were quantified by an enzyme immunoassay. In study A, medium and cell content of matrix were assessed, together with [3H]leucine and [3H]thymidine incorporation into monolayers, polyol, fructose, and myo-inositol levels and the cytosolic redox state, in cells grown in high (30 mM) D-glucose or iso-osmolar mannitol versus cells cultured in normal (5.5 mM) D-glucose. FN, LAM, C-IV, and C-VI accumulation, but not C-I and C-III accumulation, was increased by 30 mM glucose, but not by iso-osmolar mannitol, when compared with 5.5 mM glucose, starting at week 2 and, except for C-VI, persisting throughout the remaining 2 weeks, whereas no change was observed in the measured indexes of total protein synthesis and DNA synthesis/cell proliferation. At any time point, polyol levels were increased, whereas myo-inositol was reduced by high glucose; in cells grown under elevated glucose concentrations, the lactate/pyruvate (L/P) ratio, an index of the cytosolic redox state, progressively increased. In study B1, the effects of high D-glucose were compared with those of iso-osmolar concentrations of sugars that are partly or not metabolized but are capable of inducing nonenzymatic glycosylation, such as D-galactose and L-glucose, and of mannitol, which does not enter the cell. Both D-galactose and L-glucose, but not mannitol, partly mimicked D-glucose-induced ECM overproduction. Although D-galactose is metabolized via the polyol pathway and alters the cytosolic redox state, ECM changes induced by high galactose were not prevented by the use of an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI), Alcon 1576 (14 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
