Resumen
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) have been associated with a worse prognosis of kidney disease. Recently, the direct interconnection between PTHrP and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a nuclear receptor whose activation is nephroprotective, has been discovered. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between PTHrP, PPARγ, and RBP4. For this purpose, we analyzed the levels of these proteins, which were studied in the kidneys of five experimental groups of mice at 6 weeks of age: controls, diabetics, insulin-treated diabetics, transgenic mice overexpressing PTHrP at the renal level, and the latter mice that were also induced with diabetes. In addition, we also analyzed the expression levels of these molecules in two mouse podocyte cell lines, controls and PPARγKO, subjected to a lipotoxic insult by palmitic acid. We found that RBP4 and PTHrP are increased in the kidney in pathological conditions and that insulin and PPARγ act regulating PTHrP and RBP4 expression, suggesting that the regulation of this system is critical for the maintenance of renal homeostasis and how it becomes imbalanced in different pathophysiological conditions.
