Oxidative stress has been linked to the podocytopathy, mesangial expansion and progression of diabetic nephropathy. The major cell defence mechanism against oxidative stress is reduced glutathione (GSH). Some ABC transporters have been shown to extrude GSH, oxidised glutathione or their conjugates out of the cell, thus implying a role for these transporters in GSH homeostasis. We found a remarkable expression of mRNA for multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP/ABCC) 1, 3, 4 and 5 in rat glomeruli. Three weeks after induction of diabetes in glomeruli of streptozotocin-treated rats, we observed a decline in reduced GSH levels and an increase in the expression and activity of MRP1 (ABCC1). These lower GSH levels were improved by ex vivo treatment with pharmacological inhibitors of MRP1 activity (MK571). We conclude that increased activity of MRP1 in diabetic glomeruli is correlated with an inadequate adaptive response to oxidative stress.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
