In the Fer-1 or Paricalcitol (PAR, 0.1 μM) treatment groups, the number of mitochondrial cristae increased, and reductions in mitochondrial volume were mitigated.2a stain Fer-1 or Paricalcitol (PAR, 0.1 μM) treatment apparently recovered the reduced GSH content induced by HG.

VDR activation attenuated renal dysfunction in DN mice. The animal experiment was designed as shown in the schematic diagram. db/db mice aged 10 weeks were randomized to receive a daily i.p. injection of Fer-1 (5 mg/kg/day), Paricalcitol (PAR) (0.1 µg/kg/day) or an equal amount of vehicle for 10 weeks. Changes in the renal volume of mice in different groups at the endpoint.

In line with the in vitro western blotting findings, the expression levels of SLC7A11, GPX4, FTH-1 and FSP1 were enhanced in Fer-1- or Paricalcitol (PAR, 0.1 µg/kg/day)-treated mice, but TFR-1 expression was attenuated.

Protocole
After TAC or sham surgery, a subset of the mice is treated with paricalcitol, a selective vitamin D receptor activator, which activates the VDR, at a final dose of 300 ng/kg/day. Paricalcitol is dissolved in a 95% propylene glycol and 5% ethyl alcohol solution. Mice are intraperitoneally injected with paricalcitol (or vehicle only) three times per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for five consecutive weeks. An established anti-hypertrophic and anti-fibrotic treatment, namely the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) losartan is also included. Previous experiments have shown it is feasible and efficacious to dissolve losartan in the drinking water at a concentration of 30 mg/kg/day; mice are treated for five consecutive weeks. So, in total eight groups are studied. Sham (n=10), TAC (n=10), Sham + losartan (Sham-los, n=10), TAC + losartan (TAC-los, n=10), Sham + paricalcitol (Sham-pari, n=10), TAC + paricalcitol (TAC-pari, n=10), Sham + paricalcitol + losartan (Sham-combi, n=10) and TAC + paricalcitol + losartan (TAC-combi, n=10).
