Abstract
Immune-related nephropathy (IRN) refers to immune-response-mediated glomerulonephritis and is the main cause of end-stage renal failure. The pathogenesis of IRN is not fully understood; therefore, treatment is challenging. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have potent clinical effects in the treatment of the IRN conditions immunoglobulin A nephropathy, lupus nephropathy, and diabetic nephropathy. The underlying mechanisms mainly include its inhibition of inflammation; improvements to renal interstitial fibrosis, oxidative stress, autophagy, apoptosis; and regulation of immunity. In this review, we summarize the clinical symptoms of the three IRN subtypes and the use of TCM prescriptions, herbs, and bioactive compounds in treating IRN, as well as the potential mechanisms, intending to provide a reference for the future study of TCM as IRN treatments.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes, contributing to visual impairment and blindness. Sequoyitol (Seq), a form of inositol derivatives, has been demonstrated to be a therapeutic potential for diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this
study is to explore the effects of Seq on DR. ARPE-19 cells were cultured in high glucose (HG) condition to simulate DR in vitro. Seq (1,10 and 20 µM) was applied for treatment. CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell viability. Flow cytometry analysis was conducted to
determine cell apoptosis rate. The production level of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress-related factors were determined using their commercial kits. The protein expressions of corresponding genes were detected using western blotting. The results revealed that Seq significantly increased
cell viability and protein expression of PCNA and Ki67 which were decreased after HG induction. HG promoted cell apoptosis by decreasing protein expression of Bcl-2 and increasing protein expression of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, which was then reversed by Seq treatment. Besides, Seq abolished
the promoting effects of HG on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress-related factors. Furthermore, Seq suppressed the promoting effect of HG on the activation of NF-κB signaling by inhibiting phosphorylation of kBa and NF-κB nucleus translocation.
These results indicated that Seq might protect ARPE-19 cells against HG-induced cell viability, apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress by regulating NF-κB signaling, providing evidence for the potential application of Seq in the therapy of DR.

Role of Nrf2 dysfunction in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy: Therapeutic prospect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate. Free Radic Biol Med 2020; 160:227-238. [PMID: 32768570 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2020.07.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a progressive kidney disease afflicts more than 20 and up to 40% of the diabetic population and it is characterized by persistent microalbuminuria declined glomerular filtration rate. The interesting feature associated with DN is that, even though the progression of the disease correlates with oxidative stress, Nrf2, the master regulator of antioxidant defense system involved in counteracting oxidative stress is also upregulated in the diabetic kidneys of both human as well as experimental animals in early stages of DN. Despite the increased expression, the ability of this protein to get translocated into the nucleus is diminished signifying the functional impairment of Nrf2, implying redox imbalance. Hence, it is understood that agents that boost the translocation of Nrf2 might be beneficial rather than those that quantitatively overexpress Nrf2 in treating DN. The deleterious effects of synthetic Nrf2 activators have instigated the researchers to search for phytochemicals that have ambient Nrf2 boosting ability with no side effects, one such phytochemical is Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and it has shown beneficial effects by preventing the progression of DN via influencing Nrf2/ARE pathway, however, the modus operandi is unclear, despite speculations. This study was designed to find out whether supplementation of Nrf2 booster like EGCG at the crucial time of Nrf2 dysfunction can mitigate the progression of DN. Based on the findings of the present study, it might be concluded that the beneficial effect of EGCG in mitigating DN is mediated mainly through its ability to activate the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway at multiple stages i.e., by downregulating Keap1 and boosting the nuclear Nrf2 level by disrupting Nrf2-Keap1 interaction. These results emphasize that supplementation of EGCG might be more beneficial at an early stage of DN, where dysfunctional Nrf2 accumulation occurs, which should be further validated.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Renal fibrosis is closely related to the deterioration of renal function. The present study aimed to investigate protective effect of Taxus chinensis on high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced DN in rats and explore the underlying mechanism of action. The rat DN model was established via feeding high fat diet for 4 weeks and subsequently injecting streptozotocin (30 mg·kg-1 body weight) intraperitoneally. The rats with blood glucose levels higher than 16.8 mmol·L-1 were selected for experiments. The DN rats were treated with Taxus chinensis orally (0.32, 0.64, and 1.28 g·kg-1) once a day for 8 weeks. Taxus chinensis significantly improved the renal damage, which was indicated by the decreases in 24-h urinary albumin excretion rate, blood serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen. Histopathological examination confirmed the protective effect of Taxus chinensis. The thickness of glomerular basement membrane was reduced, and proliferation of mesangial cells and podocytes cells and increase in mesangial matrix were attenuated. Further experiments showed that Taxus chinensis treatment down-regulated the expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA, inhibited phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3. These results demonstrated that Taxus chinensis alleviated renal injuries in DN rats, which may be associated with suppressing TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant worldwide healthcare problem. Regardless of the initial injury, renal fibrosis is the common final pathway leading to end stage renal disease. Although the underlying mechanisms are not fully defined, evidence indicates that besides inflammation, oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the etiology of renal fibrosis. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of free radicals that are often increased by inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced anti-oxidant defenses. Several studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress may occur secondary to activation of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) activity, consistent with its role to increase nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (Nox) activity. A number of other oxidative stress-related signal pathways have also been identified, such as nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), the nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1-phosphodiesterase (cGMP-cGK1-PDE) signaling pathway, and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) pathway. Several antioxidant and renoprotective agents, including cysteamine bitartrate, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), and cytoglobin (Cygb) have demonstrated ameliorative effects on renal fibrosis in preclinical or clinical studies. The mechanism of action of many traditional Chinese medicines used to treat renal disorders is based on their antioxidant properties, which could form the basis for new therapeutic approaches. This review focuses on the signaling pathways triggered by oxidative stress that lead to renal fibrosis and provides an update on the development of novel anti-oxidant therapies for CKD.

Abstract
Apoptosis is an active response of cells to altered microenvironments, which is characterized by cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation, in a variety of cell types such as renal epithelial cells, endothelial cells, mesangial cells, and podocytes. Hyperglycemia is among the microenvironmental factors that may facilitate apoptosis, which plays a decisive role in the initiation of diabetic nephropathy. Transforming growth factor-β emerges as a powerful fibrogenic factor in the development of renal hypertrophy. Although, a number of potential treatment strategies exist for diabetic nephropathy, considering the ease of use and bioavailability, phytochemicals stands distinct as the preeminent option. EGCG, a green tea catechin is one such phytochemical which possesses hypoglycemic and antifibrotic activity. The present study aims to explore the potential of EGCG to prevent apoptosis in a high-fat diet and STZ induced diabetic nephropathy rats by assessing renal function, pro-fibrotic marker, and the expression of apoptotic and antiapoptotic proteins. Our results validate EGCG as a potential antiapoptotic agent evidently by improving renal function via down regulating TGF-β, consequently ameliorating diabetic nephropathy. In accordance with this, EGCG might be regarded as a prospective therapeutic candidate in modulating diabetic nephropathy, thus being a promising treatment.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common and serious complication in diabetes mellitus, but the efficacy of available strategies for preventing this disorder remains poor. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible beneficial effects of 1-acetyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-3-ylacetate (APPA), an aldose reductase inhibitor, on DN. In the present study, a model of rat glomerular mesangial cells (HBZY-1) damaged by high glucose was used to confirm the protective effects of APPA in vitro. Then, a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes was used to assess the effects of APPA in vivo. APPA increased viability and reduced apoptosis in HBZY-1 cells. In vivo, APPA improved the signs of DN as determined by measurements of blood glucose, urinary microalbumin, serum total antioxidant capacity, serum catalase activity, serum glutathione levels, and serum total superoxide dismutase activity. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of kidney tissue confirmed the protective effect. Moreover, APPA reduced the levels of transforming growth factor-β1, collagen IV, and laminin in HBZY-1cells incubated in high glucose, and in serum in DN rats. In summary, APPA can effectively prevent apoptosis and the symptoms of streptozotocin-induced diabetes by inhibiting the polyol pathway in rats. This suggests that APPA could be a potential drug in treating DN.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most serious chronic complications of diabetes; 20-40% of diabetic patients develop into end stage renal disease (ESRD). However, exact pathogenesis of DN is not fully clear and we have great difficulties in curing DN; poor treatment of DN led to high chances of mortality worldwide. A lot of western medicines such as ACEI and ARB have been demonstrated to protect renal function of DN but are not enough to delay or retard the progression of DN; therefore, exploring exact and feasible drug is current research hotspot in medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used to treat and control diabetes and its complications such as DN in a lot of scientific researches, which will give insights into the mechanism of DN, but they are not enough to reveal all the details. In this paper, we summarize the applications of herbal TCM preparations, single herbal TCM, and/or monomers from herbal TCM in the treatment of DN in the recent 10 years, depicting the renal protective effects and the corresponding mechanism, through which we shed light on the renal protective roles of TCM in DN with a particular focus on the molecular basis of the effect and provide a beneficial supplement to the drug therapy for DN.
