Somatostatin mediates inhibitory functions through five G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors (sst1-5). We used immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and RT-PCR to determine the presence of somatostatin receptors sst1, sst2A, sst2B, sst3, sst4, and sst5 in normal and IgA nephropathy human kidney. All somatostatin receptors were detected in the thin tubules (distal convoluted tubules and loops of Henle) and thick tubules (proximal convoluted tubules) in the tissue sections from nephrectomy and biopsy samples. Immunopositive sst1 and sst4 staining was more condensed in the cytoplasm of tubular epithelial cells. In normal kidney tissue sections, podocytes and mesangial cells in the glomeruli stained for sst1, sst2B, sst4 and sst5, and stained weakly for sst3. In IgA kidney tissue, the expression of somatostatin receptors was significantly increased with particular immmunopositive staining for sst1, sst2B, sst4, and sst5 within glomeruli. In the epithelial cells, the staining for sst2B and sst4 in proximal tubules and sst1, sst2B, and sst5 in distal tubules was increased. The mRNA expression of sst1-5 was also detected by RT-PCR. Somatostatin and all five receptor subtypes were ubiquitously distributed in normal kidney and IgA nephropathy. The increased expression of somatostatin receptors in IgA nephropathy kidney might be the potential pathogenesis of inflammatory renal disease.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.

D017481 Receptors, Somatostatin Cell surface proteins that bind somatostatin and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Somatostatin is a hypothalamic hormone, a pancreatic hormone, and a central and peripheral neurotransmitter. Activated somatostatin receptors on pituitary cells inhibit the release of growth hormone; those on endocrine and gastrointestinal cells regulate the absorption and utilization of nutrients; and those on neurons mediate somatostatin's role as a neurotransmitter.
