Abstract

Background: Though resveratrol is known to have anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, The inhibitory mechanism of resveratrol in kidney stone formation has not been elucidated so far. Method: ELISA, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and western blotting were performed. Human renal epiThelial cells (HRCs) and rats with ethylene glycol (EG)-induced kidney stones were used. Results: Awound healing assay revealed that resveratrol significantly inhibited The oxalate-mediated migration of HRCs, considering oxalate mediates kidney stone formation. Also, resveratrol suppressed The mRNAexpression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase subunits such as p22phox and p47phox, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and osteopontin (OPN) in oxalate-treated HRCs. FurThermore, western blotting showed that resveratrol downregulated The expression of MCP-1-related proteins including transforming growth factor(TGF-b1), TGFR-I or II and hyaluronan in oxalate-treated HRCs. Consistently, resveratrol reduced oxalate-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in oxalate-treated HRCs, while The activities of anti-oxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were enhanced by resveratrol in HRCs and EG-treated kidneys of rats. Consistently, resveratrol significantly reduced The number of urine calcium oxalate crystals and serum MDA, and attenuated The expression of OPN and hyaluroran in EG-treated rats. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that resveratrol exerts anti-nephrolithic potential via inhibition of ROS, MCP-1 hyaluronan and OPN signaling.
