    Abstract:

    Aim To explore the hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) inhibit cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) expression of apolipoprotein E-knocked-out (ApoE-/-) mice renal via endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Methods 18 male ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6 for each group): ApoE-/-control group,high methionine group and intervention group. They were respectively fed with nomal diet and high methionine diet and high methionine diet plus 0.006% folate and 0.0004% vitamin B12 for 14 weeks. After 14 weeks,the blood of the mice was gotten using a unilateral enucleation method,the serum homocysteine (Hcy) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein and mRNA expressions of CFTR in the renal of mice were detected by immunohistochemical assay and real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) the mRNA expressions of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78),activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6),protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK),C/EPB homologous protein (CHOP) in the renal of mice were detected by RT-PCR. Results The result showed that the content of Hcy was significantly higher in ApoE-/-control group,high methionine group and intervention group an remarkable increase was observed in the high methionine group (P<0.01). The results of RT-PCR and immunohistochemical assay exposed a remarkable down-expressed CFTR mRNA and protein in high methionine group (P<0.01). The results of RT-PCR exposed a remarkable up-expressed GRP78,ATF6,PERK,CHOP mRNA in high methionine group,while intervention group decreased GRP78,ATF6,PERK,CHOP levels compared with high methionine group. There were negative correlations between GRP78,ATF6,PERK,CHOP mRNA and CFTR mRNA (r=-0.7192,P<0.01 r=-0.5501,P<0.01 r=-0.7772,P<0.01 r=-0.6785,P<0.01). Conclusion HHcy inhibits CFTR expression of ApoE-knockout mice renal might via endoplasmic reticulum stress.
