Methods: The DN RAT model was induced by high glucose and high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of Streptozocin. The experiment was divided into 3 groups: normal group (NC group), model group (DN group) and berberine intervention group (DN + BBR group)(n = 6) . DN + BBR group was treated with 200 mg/kg/d on the basis of the model of DN. NC group and DN group were treated with the same dose of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. After 6 weeks treatment measured various indicators (include body weight, renal index (KI = kidney weight/body weight), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood creatinine (SCR), urea nitrogen (BUN) and 24h urine protein (24h Pro)). The pathological changes of kidney were observed by HE, PAS and Masson staining. The changes of glomerulus and renal interstitium were observed by transmission electron microscope. The expression of PERK, IRE1, ATF6, CHOP and Caspase3 were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results: (1) SCR, Bun, FBG and 24hUpro in DN group were significantly higher than those in NC group and the renal function of DN group severely impaired. Compare with DN group the renal function of DN + BBR group was significant improved. There were significant differences in SCR, Bun, FBG and 24hUpro in each group (p < 0.01) . (2) The results of HE, PAS and Masson staining showed that the glomerulus in DN group was more irregular and larger than that in NC group; the lumen of glomerulus became narrowed, diffuse mesangial matrix was increased and renal tubule was edematous. The glycogen deposits and collagen fibers in the renal interstitium were increased and inflammatory cells were infiltrated. After the berberine rescued, the glomerular condition of DN + BBR group was obviously improved; the edema of renal tubules was alleviated; the deposition of glycogen was decreased and the collagenous fibers accumulation is relatively reduced. (3) The results of transmission electron microscope showed that the podocytes of DN Group were irregular and a large number of podocytes fused and broken. The basement membrane was inhomogeneous and thickened. Whereas, the morphological function of podocyte of DN + BBR Group was improved. And the basement membrane was slightly thickened. (4) Immunohistochemistry shows that the expression of Chop, PERK, IRE1, ATF6 and Caspase3 in DN group was significantly increased and the DN + BBR group was contrarily. The difference of protein expression was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings provide insights into the BBR can significantly improve the structure and function of kidney in DN rats. The hypothesis is that BBR can suppress endoplasmic reticulum stress and reduce the apoptosis of kidney cells, thus prevent the progress of DN and protect the kidney tissue.

Methods: The PRKCD gene expression data and patient clinical information data in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues were downloaded from The TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and UCSC Xena databases. The mRNA expression of PRKCD in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma was analyzed, and the protein expression of PRKCD in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma was analyzed by Human Protein Atlas (HPA) databases. Furthermore, its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with Liver hepatocellular carcinoma was analyzed. GSEA enrichment analysis were carried out for PRKCD in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma. Finally, the causes of changes in PRKCD expression were analyzed from the perspective of genetic and epigenetics based on collated liver hepatocellular carcinoma data. Results: Both the mRNA and protein expression level of PRKCD gene in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. Its expression level was correlated with TNM stage, Histologic grade,Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and Living status in clinicopathological features, and its expression level has certain clinical diagnostic accuracy. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the prognosis of patients with low PRKCD expression was significantly better than that with high PRKCD expression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PRKCD was an independent prognostic factor in patients with Liver hepatocellular carcinoma, and it was also found that the risk ratio of TNM stage Ⅲ and stage IV survival curve (HR) was significantly greater than that of stage I and stage Ⅱ. GSEA analysis showed that it was enriched in cell cycles and DNA replication, and was positively correlated with PRKCD. Enrichment analysis found that PRKCD is mainly involved in the chemokine signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, adipocytokine signaling pathway and T-cell receptor signaling pathway. Finally, through genetic and epigenetic analysis, it is found that the increase in the number of copies of genes will increase the expression level of PRKCD, and the methylation level is negatively correlated with the expression level of PRKCD. Conclusion: PRKCD gene is upregulated in Liver hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, and its overexpression level is closely related to patient poor prognosis.

    查看更多>>摘要:G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs) are the largest protein superfamily in the body, expressed in various tissues and organs, and are currently one of the most important clinical drug targets. Recently, a class of GPCRs without endogenous ligands(orphan GPCRs) have been discovered. They exhibit different physiological functions in the body and act extensively on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. Among them, G protein-coupled receptor 124(GPR124) is an orphaned member of the G protein coupled receptor adhesion family that has attracted much attention. It plays a key role in promoting cerebral angiogenesis and maintaining the stability of the blood-brain barrier. It also associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral ischemia and atherosclerosis. However, the role of GPR124 in these diseases, the associated signaling pathways, and possible drug intervention targets are still unclear. This article summarizes the physiological effects, pharmacological effects and related signal pathways of GPR124 published in the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases published in recent years, in order to provide a reference for the study of the role of GPR124 in the occurrence and development of diseases.
