Objective: To explore the protective effects of calcitriol on diabetic nephropathy by modulating the expressions of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-?1) and Cdc42 interacting protein-4 (CIP4). Methods: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy rats (n=36) were randomly divided into control group (control-H, control-M, control-L) and calcitriol group (calcitriol-H, calcitriol-M, calcitriol-L). The expression of TGF-?1 gradually decreased in control-H, control-M and control-L subgroups by injection of different virus vectors. Peanut oil and calcitriol were given to control and calcitriol group, respectively. The expressions of TGF-?1 and CIP4 in kidney, the pathology, and the renal function and lipid profiles were compared between control and calcitriol treatment groups. Results: In the control group, the higher level of TGF-?1 was associated with more severe glomerular pathology (P<0.05). There is a positive correlation between the expression of CIP4 and TGF-?1. Control-H subgroup had significant more severe kidney disease, higher levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) than control-M and control-L subgroups. After calcitriol treatment, the expression of TGF-?1 and CIP4 were significantly decreased compared to the corresponding control subgroups (all P<0.05). Renal fibrosis and pathological changes were markedly improved. The levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, blood glucose, BUN and Cr were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion: Calcitriol may protect diabetic nephropathy from fibrosis via inhibition of TGF-?1 and CIP4.
