Popis: Recent study has demonstrated the Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2) activator bardoxolone methyl improved renal function in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). On the other hand, mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) activation inhibits mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytoplasm and suppresses stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated inflammation in renal proximal tubular cells. Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is recognized as activators of Nrf2. In this study, we investigated the effects of SFN on TFAM and STING expression and its mitochondrial protective and anti-inflammatory effects. Because mitochondrial damage caused by fatty acids bound to albumin is involved in pathogenesis of DKD due to increased albumin reabsorption, we treated human renal proximal tubular cells (Lonza) with palmitic acid (PA, 200µM). Total RNA, DNA and protein were extracted and analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blotting. To quantify the mitochondrial DNA released into the cytoplasm, DNA was extracted from cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. SFN (10µM) induced Nrf2 downstream target gene, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1) mRNA expression to 359% (p Disclosure R. Bessho: None. T. Takiyama: None. S. Promsuwan: None. H.
