We previously developed a new anti-inflammatory compound LG4. In the present study, we have tested the hypothesis that LG4 could prevent DKD by suppressing inflammation and identified the underlying mechanism.Methods: Streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic mice were used to develop DKD and evaluate the effects of LG4 against DKD. To identify the potential targets of LG4, biotin-linked LG4 was synthesized and subjected to proteome microarray screening. The cellular mechanism of LG4 was investigated in HG-challenged SV40MES13 cells.Results: Although LG4 treatment had no effect on the body weight and blood glucose levels, it remarkably reversed the hyperglycemia-induced pathological changes and fibrosis in the kidneys of T1DM mice. Importantly, hyperglycemia-induced renal inflammation evidenced by NF-κB activation and TNFα and IL-6 overexpression was greatly ameliorated with LG4 treatment. Proteosome microarray screening revealed that JNK and ERK were the direct binding proteins of LG4. LG4 significantly reduced HG-induced JNK and ERK phosphorylation and subsequent NF-κB activation in vivo and in vitro. In addition, LG4 did not show further anti-inflammatory effect in HG-challenged mesangial cells with the presence of JNK or ERK inhibitor.Conclusion: LG4 showed renoprotective activity through inhibiting ERK/JNK-mediated inflammation in diabetic mice, indicating that LG4 may be a therapeutic agent for DKD.Keywords: indole-2-carboxamide derivative, diabetic kidney disease, inflammation, MAPK, NF-κB |
