摘要
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a crucial cellular defense factor to cope with oxidative stress. Silent information regulator T1 (Sirt1) is a deacetylase with antioxidative stress activity. Fucoxanthin is a marine-derived carotenoid. This study was conducted to investigate whether fucoxanthin could alleviate oxidative stress by activating Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling to alleviate DN. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, fucoxanthin treatment effectively improved renal function, alleviated glomerulosclerosis. Fucoxanthin reversed the decreased protein levels of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in the kidney of diabetic rats and glomerular mesangial cells cultured in high glucose. Conversely, EX527, a Sirt1 inhibitor, counteracted the effect of fucoxanthin on the expression of Nrf2. Furthermore, in vivo and vitro results showed that fucoxanthin treatment reversed the low expression and activity of superoxide dismutase and heme oxygenase 1, depending on Sirt1 activation. Our results suggest that fucoxanthin improves diabetic kidney function and renal fibrosis by activating Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling to reduce oxidative stress.
