Journal Article
Comparison of the adhesion and endocytosis of calcium oxalate dihydrate to HK-2 cells before and after repair by Astragalus polysaccharide
2019
Overview
This work investigated the effects of repairing injured renal proximal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells by using three Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) with different molecular weights and the adhesion and endocytosis of HK-2 cells to the calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) nanocrystals before and after repair to develop new products that can protect against kidney stones. HK-2 cells cultured in vitro were injured with 2.6 mmol/L oxalic acid to establish a damaged cell model. Three kinds of APS (APS0, APS1, and APS2 with molecular weights of 11.03, 4.72, and 2.60 kDa, respectively) were used to repair the damaged cells. The changes in the adhesion and endocytosis of 100 nm COD crystals to cells before and after the repair were detected. After the repair of HK-2 cells by the APS, the speed of wound healing of the damaged HK-2 cells increased, and the amount of phosphatidylserine (PS) ectropion decreased. In addition, the proportion of cells with adhered COD crystals decreased, whereas the proportion of cells with internalized crystals increased. As a result of the repair activity, APS can inhibit the adhesion and promote the endocytosis of COD nanocrystals to damaged cells. APS1, which had a moderate molecular weight, displayed the strongest abilities to repair the cells, inhibit adhesion, and promote endocytosis. Thus, APS, particularly APS1, may serve as potential green drugs for preventing kidney stones.
