Loss of Functional SCO2 Attenuates Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Kidney Disease

ABSTRACT: Increased oxidative stress in glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) contributes to early diabetic kidney disease (DKD). While mitochondrial respiratory complex IV activity is reduced in DKD, it remains unclear whether it is a driver or a consequence of oxidative stress in GEnCs. Synthesis of cytochrome C oxidase 2 (SCO2), a key metallochaperone in the electron transport chain, is critical to the biogenesis and assembly of subunits required for functional respiratory complex IV activity. Here, we investigated the effects of Sco2 hypomorphs (Sco2KO/KI, Sco2KI/KI), with a functional loss of SCO2, in the progression of DKD by using a model of type 2 diabetes, db/db mice. Diabetic Sco2KO/KI and Sco2KI/KI hypomorphs exhibited a reduction in complex IV activity but an improvement in albuminuria, serum creatinine, and histomorphometric evidence of early DKD compared with db/db mice. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing using gene set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in the endothelial cluster of Sco2KO/KI;db/db mice demonstrated an increase in genes involved in VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling and reduced oxidative stress compared with db/db mice. These data suggest that reduced complex IV activity as a result of a loss of functional SCO2 might be protective in GEnCs in early DKD.

Metabolic Changes and Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease, and it is crucial to understand the pathophysiology of DKD. The control of blood glucose levels by various glucose-lowering drugs, the common use of inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system, and the aging of patients with diabetes can alter the disease course of DKD. Moreover, metabolic changes and associated atherosclerosis play a major role in the etiology of DKD. The pathophysiology of DKD is largely attributed to the disruption of various cellular stress responses due to metabolic changes, especially an increase in oxidative stress. Therefore, many antioxidants have been studied as therapeutic agents. Recently, it has been found that NRF2, a master regulator of oxidative stress, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of DKD and bardoxolone methyl, an activator of NRF2, has attracted attention as a drug that increases the estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with DKD. This review outlines the altered stress responses of cellular organelles in DKD, their involvement in the pathogenesis of DKD, and discusses strategies for developing therapeutic agents, especially bardoxolone methyl.

Identification of Oxidative Stress-Related Biomarkers in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease throughout the world. In kidney disease, oxidative stress has been linked to both antioxidant depletions and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify biomarkers related to oxidative stress in DKD.MethodsThe gene expression profile of the DKD was extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The identification of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed using the "limma" R package, and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to find the gene modules that were most related to DKD. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed using "Org.Hs.eg.db" R package. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database. The hub genes were identified by the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) plug-in of Cytoscape software. The diagnostic capacity of hub genes was verified using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Correlations between diagnostic genes were analyzed using the "corrplot" package. In addition, the miRNA gene transcription factor (TF) network was used to explain the regulatory mechanism of hub genes in DKD.ResultsDEGs analysis and WGCNA-identified 160 key genes were identified in DKD patients. Among them, nine oxidative stress-related genes were identified as candidate hub genes for DKD. Using the PPI network, five hub genes, NR4A2, DUSP1, FOS, JUN, and PTGS2, were subsequently identified. All the hub genes were downregulated in DKD and had a high diagnostic value of DKD. The regulatory mechanism of hub genes was analyzed from the miRNA gene-TF network.ConclusionOur study identified NR4A2, DUSP1, FOS, JUN, and PTGS2 as hub genes of DKD. These genes may serve as potential therapeutic targets for DKD patients.

Naringin Alleviates Diabetic Kidney Disease through Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Reaction.

Project description:Naringin, a flavanone glycoside extracted from Citrus grandis Osbeck, has a wide range of pharmacological effects. In the present study we aimed at demonstrating the protective effect of naringin against diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and elucidating its possible molecular mechanism underlying. The beneficial effect of naringin was assessed in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes and high glucose-induced HBZY-1 cells. According to our results, first we found that naringin relieved kidney injury, improved renal function and inhibited collagen formation and renal interstitial fibrosis. Second, we confirmed that naringin restrained oxidative stress by activating Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. Moreover, the results suggested that naringin significantly resisted inflammatory reaction by inhibiting NF- κ B signaling pathway. Taken together, our results demonstrate that naringin effectively alleviates DKD, which provide theoretical basis for naringin clinically used to treatment of DKD.

Allelic depletion of grem1 attenuates diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:Gremlin (grem1) is an antagonist of the bone morphogenetic protein family that plays a key role in limb bud development and kidney formation. There is a growing appreciation that altered grem1 expression may regulate the homeostatic constraints on damage responses in diseases such as diabetic nephropathy.Here we explored whether knockout mice heterozygous for grem1 gene deletion (grem1(+/-)) exhibit protection from the progression of diabetic kidney disease in a streptozotocin-induced model of type 1 diabetes.A marked elevation in grem1 expression was detected in the kidneys and particularly in kidney tubules of diabetic wild-type mice compared with those of littermate controls. In contrast, diabetic grem1(+/-) mice displayed a significant attenuation in grem1 expression at 6 months of diabetes compared with that in age- and sex-matched wild-type controls. Whereas the onset and induction of diabetes were similar between grem1(+/-) and wild-type mice, several indicators of diabetes-associated kidney damage such as increased glomerular basement membrane thickening and microalbuminuria were attenuated in grem1(+/-) mice compared with those in wild-type controls. Markers of renal damage such as fibronectin and connective tissue growth factor were elevated in diabetic wild-type but not in grem1(+/-) kidneys. Levels of pSmad1/5/8 decreased in wild-type but not in grem1(+/-) diabetic kidneys, suggesting that bone morphogenetic protein signaling may be maintained in the absence of grem1.These data identify grem1 as a potential modifier of renal injury in the context of diabetic kidney disease.

Oxidative Stress Genes in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: Association with Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Project description:Diabetic type 2 patients compared to nondiabetic patients exhibit an increased risk of developing diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Hyperglycemia, hypertension, oxidative stress (OS), and genetic background are some of the mechanisms and pathways implicated in DKD pathogenesis. However, data on OS pathway susceptibility genes show limited success and conflicting or inconclusive results. Our study is aimed at exploring OS pathway genes and variants which could be associated with DKD. We recruited 121 diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patients with DKD (cases) and 220 DM2, non-DKD patients (control) of Greek origin and performed a case-control association study using genome-wide association data. PLINK and EIGENSOFT were used to analyze the data. Our results indicate 43 single nucleotide polymorphisms with their 21 corresponding genes on the OS pathway possibly contributing or protecting from DKD: SPP1, TPO, TTN, SGO2, NOS3, PDLIM1, CLU, CCS, GPX4, TXNRD2, EPHX2, MTL5, EPX, GPX3, ALOX12, IPCEF1, GSTA, OXR1, GPX6, AOX1, and PRNP. Therefore, a genetic OS background might underlie the complex pathogenesis of DKD in DM2 patients.

SCO2 Mediates Oxidative Stress-Induced Glycolysis to Oxidative Phosphorylation Switch in Hematopoietic Stem Cells.

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited bone marrow (BM) failure syndrome, presumably resulting from defects in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Normal HSCs depend more on glycolysis than on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for energy production. Here, we show that FA HSCs are more sensitive to the respiration inhibitor NaN3 treatment than to glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG), indicating more dependence on OXPHOS. FA HSCs undergo glycolysis-to-OXPHOS switch in response to oxidative stress through a p53-dependent mechanism. Metabolic stresses induce upregulation of p53 metabolic targets in FA HSCs. Inactivation of p53 in FA HSCs prevents glycolysis-to-OXPHOS switch. Furthermore, p53-deficient FA HSCs are more sensitive to 2-DG-mediated metabolic stress. Finally, oxidative stress-induced glycolysis-to-OXPHOS switch is mediated by synthesis of cytochrome c oxidase 2 (SCO2). These findings demonstrate p53-mediated OXPHOS function as a compensatory alteration in FA HSCs to ensure a functional but mildly impaired energy metabolism and suggest a cautious approach to manipulating p53 signaling in FA.

Acetate attenuates kidney fibrosis in an oxidative stress-dependent manner.

Project description:Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the end products of the fermentation of dietary fibers by the intestinal microbiota and reported to exert positive effects on host physiology. Acetate is the most abundant SCFA in humans and is shown to improve acute kidney injury in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, how SCFAs protect the kidney and whether SCFAs have a renoprotective effect in chronic kidney disease (CKD) models remain to be elucidated. We investigated whether acetate and other SCFAs could attenuate the kidney damage. In in vitro experiments, cell viability of acetate-treated human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells was significantly higher than that of vehicle-treated in an oxidative stress model, and acetate reduced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. In mitochondrial analysis, the MitoSOX-positive cell proportion decreased, and transcription of dynamin-1-like protein gene, a fission gene, was decreased by acetate treatment. In in vivo experiments in mice, acetate treatment significantly ameliorated fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction, and the oxidative stress marker phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) was also reduced. Further, acetate treatment ameliorated dysmorphic mitochondria in the proximal tubules, and ROS and mitochondrial analyses suggested that acetate improved mitochondrial damage. Our findings indicate a renoprotective effect of acetate in CKD.

Research advance in the mechanism for oxidative stress-induced podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), and it is also the leading cause for the end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), but the clinical treatment for it is limited at present. The pathogenesis of DKD is complex. Many studies have shown that podocyte injury is the core event of DKD, and oxidative stress is closely related to podocyte injury in DKD. Oxidative stress mediates podocyte apoptosis and slit diaphragm damage in DKD through various pathways. The antioxidant drugs can slow down the progression of DKD through reducing podocyte injury and are expected to enter clinical trials. The research status of antioxidant drugs is very important, which will provide new strategies for the clinical treatment of DKD.

Impact of intentional weight loss on diabetic kidney disease.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity constitute interwoven pandemics challenging healthcare systems in developed countries, where diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Obesity accelerates renal functional decline in people with T2DM. Intentional weight loss (IWL) strategies in this population hold promise as a means of arresting DKD progression. In the present paper, we summarize the impact of IWL strategies (stratified by lifestyle intervention, medications, and metabolic surgery) on renal outcomes in obese people with DKD. We reviewed the Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane databases for relevant randomized control trials and observational studies published between August 1, 2018 and April 15, 2019. We found that IWL improves renal outcomes in the setting of DKD and obesity. Rate of progression of DKD slows with IWL, but varying outcome measures among studies makes direct comparison difficult. Furthermore, established means of estimating renal function are imperfect owing to loss of lean muscle mass with IWL strategies. The choice of optimal IWL strategy needs to be individualized; future work should establish the comparative efficacy of IWL strategies in obese people with DKD to better inform such decisions.
