摘要
转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)参与糖尿病肾病(DN)的进程已作为临床慢性肾病进展的重要生物学标志物和治疗靶标。Sma和Mad相关蛋白(Smad)是TGF-β家族下游信号转导蛋白,TGF-β1与受体结合激活Smad2和Smad3,上调细胞核内结缔组织生长因子的转录,Smad3促进系膜细胞增生、细胞外基质积聚和细胞上皮间质转化,导致肾纤维化;Smad2和Smad7则起着负向调控作用,抑制肾纤维化。TGF-β1特异性抑制剂(SB431542等)具有抗肾纤维化作用,大多处在临床前研究阶段,已上市的对DN有一定疗效的药物如苯那普利、阿托伐他汀、氯沙坦和吡非尼酮等可抑制TGF-β1表达,雷公藤、冬虫夏草和小檗碱也通过降低TGF-β1水平延缓DN进程。本文就近年来TGF-β1/Smad信号通路及其防治药物在DN中的研究进展进行综述。
Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)has become an important biological marker and therapeutic target of clinical progression of chronic kidney diseases. Sma- and Mad-related protein(Smad)is a downstream signal transduction protein of the TGF-β family. TGF-β1activates Smad2 and Smad3 before increasing the transcription of connective tissue growth factors in the nucleus. Smad3 promotes mesangial cel proliferation,extracel ular matrix accumulation,epithelial-mesenchymal transition,leading to renal fibrosis. However,Smad2 and Smad7 play a negative regulatory role by inhibiting renal fibrosis. TGF- β1specific inhibitor(SB431542,etc.)has antifibrosis effect,most of which is in the preclinical stage. The drugs on the market that are effective for DN,such as benzodiazepines,atorvastatin,losartan,and pirfenidone,can inhibit the expression of TGF-β1,while tripterygium wilfordii,cordyceps sinensis,and berberine can delay the process of diabetic nephropathy by reducing TGF-β1levels.
