Previous studies have shown that high glucose stimulates renal SREBP-1 gene expression and increases renal tubular cells lipid metabolism, however, the mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study we demonstrated that PI3K/Akt pathway was activated in human renal proximal tubular cell line (HKC) exposed to high glucose accompanied with up-regulation of SREBP-1, TGF-beta 1, lipid droplets deposits and extracellular matrix production. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway by chemical LY294002 or specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) vector prevented SREBP-1 and TGF-beta 1 up-regulation, as well as ameliorated HKC cells lipogenesis and extracellular matrix accumulation. These findings indicate that PI3K/Akt pathway potentially mediates high glucose-induced lipogenesis and extracellular matrix accumulation in HKC cells.
