AbstractOur recent in vitro study demonstrated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) agonist potentiated the anti-inflammatory effect of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) in tubular epithelial cell under milieu mimicking IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Here we studied the therapeutic effect of combining a PPAR-γ agonist, rosiglitazone (Ros), with an ARB, losartan (Los), in experimental IgAN induced in Lewis rats by oral and intravenous immunization with bovine gamma-globulin (BGG). The rats were randomly divided into six groups: control, IgAN, IgAN with unilateral nephrectomy (IgAN/1K), and IgAN/1K receiving Ros, Los, or Ros + Los. Medication was given 1 week after nephrectomy until killing. Rats developing IgAN had hematuria, mesangial hypercellularity with IgA deposition, glomerular damage, and tubulointerstitial infiltration of CD25+ leukocytes accompanied by increased renal expression of TGF-β, AngII receptor subtype-1 (ATR1) and ICAM-1. The renal histopathology, albuminuria, and renal expression of TGF-β, ATR1 and ICAM-1 worsened with unilateral nephrectomy. Ros or Los reduced the renal expression of PCNA, TGF-β, ATR1, and ICAM-1 in IgAN rats with nephrectomy. Despite no difference between rats treated with monotherapy, combined therapy offered additive effect with decreased renal expression of TGF-β, ATR1 and ICAM-1 and attenuation of renal injury. Our animal study suggests combined PPAR-γ agonist and ARB holds promise for future therapy for IgAN. © 2010 IPNA.
