Abstract:Objective: To explore the mechanism of empagliflozin (EMPA) regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of human glomerular microvascular endothelial cells (HRGEC). Methods: HRGEC was induced by 30 mmoL/L glucose to establish the renal injury cell model in high glucose environment. The damaged cells were treated with englitazin (250, 500, 1000nmoL/L). HRGEC cells were transfected with miR-NC group (transfected miR-NC), miR-497-3p group (transfected miR-497-3p), si-NC group (transfected si-NC), si-fish glycosylphosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase D1 (GPLD1) group (transfected si-GPLD1), EMPA + miR-497-3p + pcDNA group (co-transfected miR-497-3p and pcDNA), EMPA + miR-497-3p + pcDNA-GPLD1 group (co-transfected miR-497-3p and pcDNA-GPLD1), were all treated with 30mmoL/L glucose or 500 nmol / L empagliflozin. The cell proliferation rate and apoptosis rate were detected by cell counting kit (CCK-8) method and flow cytometry. The expressions of GPLD1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cell cycle dependent protein kinase inhibitor 1a (p21), Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were detected by western blotting (WB) assay. The binding ability of miR-497-3p to GPLD1 was detected by dual luciferase assay and RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation assay (RIP). Results: Compared with NG group, the proliferation rate significantly decreased in HG group, the apoptosis rate significantly increased, and the expression of miR-497-3p significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the cell proliferation rate, apoptosis rate and the expression of miR-497-3p were significantly increased in empagliflozin (250, 500 and 1000nmoL/L) group (P<0.05). The optimal concentration of empagliflozin was 500 nmol/L. MiR-497-3p significantly inhibited the fluorescence activity of wild-type GPLD1 cells, promoted the expression of Ago2-GPLD1, and negatively regulated the protein expression of GPLD1. Overexpression of miR-497-3p and knockdown of GPLD1 had similar effects on promoting the proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, up-regulating PCNA protein and down-regulating p21, caspase-3 and caspase-9 protein of HRGEC cells induced by high glucose. Overexpression of GPLD1 significantly weakened the regulatory effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of empagliflozin and overexpression of miR-497-3p in HRGEC cells induced by high glucose. Conclusion: Empagliflozin could promote the proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of HRGEC cells induced by high glucose, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of miR-497-3p / GPLD1 signal pathway.
