Abstract |
Caffeine is an active ingredient found in coffee and energy beverages. Its hepatoprotective effects against liver fibrosis are well-documented. Nonetheless, its renoprotective effects against renal fibrogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes remain unclear and under-investigated. In this study, the protective effects of caffeine against oxalate-induced EMT in renal tubular cells were evaluated by various assays to measure expression levels of epithelial and mesenchymal markers, cell migrating activity, level of oxidized proteins, and expression of Nrf2 and Snail1. Oxalate at sublethal dose significantly suppressed cell proliferation but increased cell elongation, spindle index and migration. Oxalate also decreased expression of epithelial markers (zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and E-cadherin) but increased expression of mesenchymal markers (fibronectin, vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)). All of these EMT-inducing effects of oxalate could be prevented by pretreatment with caffeine. While oxalate increased oxidized proteins and Snail1 levels, it decreased Nrf2 expression. Caffeine could preserve all these molecules to their basal (control) levels. Finally, silencing of Nrf2 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) could abolish such protective effects of caffeine on oxalate-induced EMT. Our data indicate that the renoprotective effects of caffeine against oxalate-induced EMT is mediated, at least in part, by its anti-oxidative property through activation of Nrf2 signaling and suppression of Snail1 transcription factor.
