摘要：

Background. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich growth factor induced by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and is thought to play a critical role in TGF-β-stimulated extracellular matrix accumulation. To explore its involvement in early diabetic nephropathy, we investigated the time course of CTGF gene expression and its regulation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat kidney. Methods. Northern blot analysis for CTGF, TGF-β, and fibronectin expression was performed in the glomeruli of STZ-induced diabetic rats from 3 days to 12 weeks after the induction of diabetes, together with histological examination. To investigate the role of prostanoids in this process, aspirin was administered in one group of diabetic rats. Furthermore, CTGF expression was analyzed in rat mesangial cells cultured under high-glucose conditions. Results. Glomerular expression of CTGF and TGF-β1 mRNA was coordinately upregulated as early as day 3, followed by fibronectin induction and mesangial matrix accumulation. Chronic aspirin treatment in diabetic rats significantly attenuated mesangial expansion, and effectively suppressed CTGF induction, as well as inhibiting the upregulation of TGF-β1 and fibronectin expression. In cultured mesangial cells, aspirin treatment abolished high glucose-stimulated CTGF upregulation. Conclusions. These results indicate that CTGF expressed in the glomeruli is upregulated in the early stage of STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy in rats, and could be a critical mediator of the development of diabetic glomerulosclerosis. In addition, the modulatory effects of aspirin during this process suggest a role of the cyclooxygenase pathway in the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
