PG - 1471-3 AB - OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of parthenolide (PTL) on high glucose-stimulated cell proliferation, NF-kappaB activation and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in rat mesangial cells (MCs). METHODS: MCs were cultured in normal glucose (5.6 mmol/L), high glucose (30 mmol/L), or high glucose with PTL. MTT assay was used to detect the cell proliferation. MCP-1 content in the supernatant was measured by ELISA, and the level of IkappaBalpha was detected by Western blotting to reflect NF-kappaB activity. EMSA method was used to measure the activation of NF-kappaB. RESULTS: MC proliferation, MCP-1 expression and NF-kappaB activation were significantly enhanced and the expression of NF-kappaB-binding protein IkappaBalpha was obviously reduced in cells cultured in high glucose. Application of PTL obviously abolished the effects of high glucose. CONCLUSION: PTL can suppress high glucose-stimulated NF-kappaB activation and MCP-1 expression in rat MC. These data provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of PTL in prevention and control of diabetic nephropathy.
