Autophagy is involved in aldosterone‑induced mesangial cell proliferation.
Molecular Medicine Reports 2016 November
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether autophagy is involved in aldosterone (Aldo)-induced mesangial cell (MC) proliferation. MCs were incubated with 10‑7 M Aldo for 24 h. Proliferation of MCs, and the underlying mechanisms, were subsequently analyzed using [3H]thymidine assay, cell counting assay, western blotting and RNA interference (RNAi). Aldo was revealed to induce autophagy, as indicated by the increased conversion from microtubule‑associated protein 1A/1B‑light chain 3 (LC3)‑I to LC3‑II, the increased expression levels of autophagy‑related gene 7 (Atg7) and the increased degradation of p62, which was accompanied by MC proliferation. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of autophagy or RNAi‑mediated knockdown of Atg7 attenuated Aldo‑induced MC proliferation, suggesting that autophagy was at least partially responsible for this effect. The results of the present study provided evidence that autophagy is critical for regulating Aldo‑induced MC proliferation.
