Lipid accumulation is a vital event in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. 1,25‐Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25(OH)2D3) is considered to have a protective effect on diabetic nephropathy. However, it remains unclear whether 1α,25(OH)2D3can inhibit lipid accumulation, and the potential mechanisms responsible for lipid metabolism are incompletely understood. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 1α,25(OH)2D3on lipid metabolism in high glucose–exposed rat renal tubular epithelial NRK‐52E cells. Results indicated that high glucose–enhanced lipid accumulation in NRK‐52E cells and 1α,25(OH)2D3can remarkably decrease high glucose–induced lipid accumulation. Western blot showed that 1α,25(OH)2D3alleviated high glucose–induced upregulation of sterol regulatory element‐binding protein‐1c (SREBP‐1c) and SREBP2, along with their established target genes fatty acid synthase (FASN) and hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductases (HMGCR). Overall, these findings suggest that 1α,25(OH)2D3downregulated the expressions of SREBPs to inhibit high glucose–induced lipid accumulation, which provides new sights into the protective effects of 1α,25(OH)2D3on diabetic nephropathy.
