The study revealed the crucial role of the ET-1/ETAR-Angs/Tie-2 pathway in regulating the communication between glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes in OMLDT patients and TCE sensitized mice. Treatment with BQ123 could alleviate glomerulus immune injury by modulating apoptosis-related proteins.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the mechanism in regulating the cross talk between glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes in occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene (OMLDT) patients. Methods: Totally 6 OMLDT patients, 18 controls, and 102 BALB/c female mice were involved in this study. Patient's serum endothelin-1 (ET-1), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and podocalyxin (PCX) were detected. All the mice were used to establish the trichloroethylene (TCE) sensitized mouse model. Transmission electron microscope results were used to reflect renal glomerulus injury. Protein levels were detected by Western blot. Ang-1/Ang-2 gene level was reflected by RTPCR. Cell apoptosis level was detected by using TUNEL assay kit. Results: We found that in OMLDT patients, ET-1, Ang-2, BUN, and PCX were highly expressed but Ang-1 was inhibited. In TCE sensitized positive mouse, the downregulation of Ang-1, pTie-2 and the upregulation of Ang-2 were mediated by ET-1/ETAR but not ET-1/ETBR. The promotor of apoptosis proteins was downregulated and the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins was upregulated by treating with BQ123. Discussion: ET-1/ETAR-Angs/Tie-2 pathway mediated the cross talk between glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes. BQ123 can alleviate glomerulus immune injury.
