| Abstract | The aim of this article is to investigate whether interleukin-1β (IL-1β) could regulate the intracellular accumulation of cholesterol and the expression of lipid-metabolism-related regulators in podocytes in vitro and the potential mechanisms. Podocytes were treated with 200 μg/ml of low-density protein (LDL), 20 ng/ml of IL-1β, or 200 μg/ml of LDL plus 5–20 ng/ml of IL-1β for 24 h in vitro. The contents of intracellular cholesterol were determined by enzymatic assays and Oil Red O staining. The levels of LDL receptor (LDLr), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP-2), SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP), and insulin-induced gene-1 (Insig-1) expression were characterized by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assays. Treatment with IL-1β or LDL alone increased the contents of intracellular cholesterol (P < 0.05 for both) and lipid droplets, and treatment with both IL-1β and LDL further increased the accumulation of intracellular cholesterol in podocytes (P < 0.05 vs. LDL alone). While loading with LDL significantly inhibited the expression of LDLr, HMG-CoA reductase, nuclear SREBP-2 (nSREBP-2), SCAP, and Insig-1 by 40–62% treatment with IL-1β enhanced the expression of LDLr, HMG-CoA reductase and nSREBP-2, but not Insig-1, in podocytes (P < 0.05 vs. control). Treatment with both LDL and IL-1β significantly increased the levels of LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase expression and the ratio of SCAP to Insig-1, as compared with that in the LDL-treated podocytes (P < 0.05 vs. LDL alone). Our data indicated that IL-1β mitigated the LDL-triggered SCAP-SREBP-2-mediated feedback inhibition on the expression of LDLr and HMG-CoA reductase, leading to the intracellular accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in podocytes in vitro. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
