Abstract

Inflammatory reactology has become increasingly important in diabetic kidney disease. In this study, we estabilished STZ-induced diabetic rat model to investigate whether dendritic cells (DCs) mediated tubulointerstitial damages, and whether the effects by DCs were mediated by P-selectin expression and can be inhibited by atorvastatin. The study demonstrated that there was an accumulation of DCs in diabetic rats mediated by P-selectin. It also showed the accumulation of DCs and expression of P-selectin was closely correlated with the degree of renal tubulointerstitial injury. These effects were markedly attenuated by atorvastatin. Thus, DCs play a role in tubulointerstitial damages, atorvasttin can prevent renal tubulointerstitium from damage by inhibiting the P-selectin expression and DCs migration.
