Long noncoding RNA Hoxb3os is dysregulated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and regulates mTOR signaling.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a debilitating disease that is characterized by the accumulation of numerous fluid-filled cysts in the kidney. ADPKD is primarily caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 and PKD2 Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA), defined by a length >200 nucleotides and absence of a long ORF, have recently emerged as epigenetic regulators of development and disease; however, their involvement in PKD has not been explored previously. Here, we performed deep RNA-Seq to identify lncRNAs that are dysregulated in two orthologous mouse models of ADPKD (kidney-specific Pkd1 and Pkd2 mutant mice). We identified a kidney-specific, evolutionarily conserved lncRNA called Hoxb3os that was down-regulated in cystic kidneys from Pkd1 and Pkd2 mutant mice. The human ortholog HOXB3-AS1 was down-regulated in cystic kidneys from ADPKD patients. Hoxb3os was highly expressed in renal tubules in adult WT mice, whereas its expression was lost in the cyst epithelium of mutant mice. To investigate the function of Hoxb3os, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 to knock out its expression in mIMCD3 cells. Deletion of Hoxb3os resulted in increased phosphorylation of mTOR and its downstream targets, including p70 S6 kinase, ribosomal protein S6, and the translation repressor 4E-BP1. Consistent with activation of mTORC1 signaling, Hoxb3os mutant cells displayed increased mitochondrial respiration. The Hoxb3os mutant phenotype was partially rescued upon re-expression of Hoxb3os in knockout cells. These findings identify Hoxb3os as a novel lncRNA that is down-regulated in ADPKD and regulates mTOR signaling and mitochondrial respiration.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:In the 3-year Tolvaptan Efficacy and Safety in Management of ADPKD and Its Outcomes (TEMPO) 3:4 and 1-year Replicating Evidence of Preserved Renal Function: an Investigation of Tolvaptan Safety and Efficacy in ADPKD (REPRISE) trials, tolvaptan slowed the decline of eGFR in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease at early and later stages of CKD, respectively. Our objective was to ascertain whether the reduction associated with the administration of tolvaptan is sustained, cumulative, and likely to delay the need for kidney replacement therapy. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:One hundred and twenty-eight patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease participated in clinical trials of tolvaptan at the Mayo Clinic. All had the opportunity to enroll into open-label extension studies. Twenty participated in short-term studies or received placebo only. The remaining 108 were analyzed for safety. Ninety seven patients treated with tolvaptan for ?1 year (mean±SD, 4.6±2.8; range, 1.1-11.2) were analyzed for efficacy using three approaches: (1) comparison of eGFR slopes and outcome (33% reduction from baseline eGFR) to controls matched by sex, age, and baseline eGFR; (2) Stability of eGFR slopes with duration of follow-up; and (3) comparison of observed and predicted eGFRs at last follow-up. RESULTS:Patients treated with tolvaptan had lower eGFR slopes from baseline (mean±SD, -2.20±2.18 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) and from month 1 (mean±SD, -1.97±2.44 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) compared with controls (mean±SD, -3.50±2.09 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year; P<0.001), and lower risk of a 33% reduction in eGFR (risk ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.38 to 0.98 from baseline; risk ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.31 to 0.85 from month 1). Annualized eGFR slopes of patients treated with tolvaptan did not change during follow-up and differences between observed and predicted eGFRs at last follow-up increased with duration of treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Follow-up for up to 11.2 years (average 4.6 years) showed a sustained reduction in the annual rate of eGFR decline in patients treated with tolvaptan compared with controls and an increasing separation of eGFR values over time between the two groups.
