Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 3121: Notch3-Mediated mTOR Signaling Pathway Is Involved in High Glucose-Induced Autophagy in Bovine Kidney Epithelial Cells (Molecules)
 


It is reported that Notch3 and mTOR signaling pathways are involved in autophagy, and both can be activated by high glucose (HG). However, the relationship between Notch3 and mTOR and how Notch3 affects mTOR to regulate HG-induced autophagy in bovine kidney epithelial cells is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore how Notch3 affects mTOR to modulate HG-induced autophagy in bovine kidney cells. Our results showed that HG treatment significantly decreased the cell viability of MDBK cells in a dose-dependent manner. HG treatment significantly increased the expression of LC3-II/I ratio and Beclin1 protein and significantly decreased the expression of p62 protein. Consistently, LC3 fluorescence signal formation was detected by immunofluorescence in both dose and time-dependent manners. In addition, HG treatment significantly increased the expression of Notch3 protein and decreased the expression of the p-mTOR protein in both dose and time-dependent manners. Inhibition of Notch3 upregulated the expression of p-mTOR and p62 protein, and downregulated the expression of LC3-II/I ratio and Beclin1 protein. Besides, the function of Notch3 was investigated. In this study, inhibition of Notch3 activity significantly increased the viability of HG-stimulated MDBK cells. In summary, our results revealed that the Notch3-mediated mTOR signaling pathway was involved in HG-induced autophagy in MDBK cells.
