BackgroundThe pathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) remains unclear, although recent studies suggest endothelin 1 (ET-1) and CD80 of podocytes are involved. We investigated the potential of antagonist to ET-1 receptor type A (ETRA) as therapeutic agent through the suppression of CD80 in a rat model of INS.MethodsPuromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) was injected to Wister rats to induce proteinuria: some were treated with ETRA antagonist and others were treated with 0.5% methylcellulose. Blood and tissue samples were collected. Quantitative PCR was used to determine the expression of Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR-3), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), CD80, talin, ETRA, and ET-1 in the kidney. To confirm the level of CD80 protein expression, immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis of the renal tissue were performed.ResultsAmount of proteinuria in the treatment group was significantly lower than the other groups. The same-day body weight, serum creatinine values, and blood pressure were not significantly different. ETRA antagonist restores podocyte foot process effacement as well as the aberrant expression of TLR-3, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and CD80 in PAN-injured kidneys.ConclusionsThe ETRA antagonist may be promising drug for INS as it showed an antiproteinuric effect. Its action was considered to be through suppression of CD80 expression on podocytes.
