RNA-seq identified GLI1 as the target gene for GABP

ABSTRACT: We performed RNA-seq based transcriptomic analysis to evaluate differential protein expression in the kidneys of GABP overexpressing mice in db/m and GABP knockdown mice in db/db. The cluster analysis heat map shows the genetic changes . Compared with db/m mice, 734 differentially expressed genes, 525 upregulated genes and 209 upregulated genes . Compared with db/db mice, 82 genes were up-regulated and 82 genes were down-regulated in the kidneys of mice with GABP knockdown in db/db . Further, the classical pathway map in IPA database found that cell growth, proliferation, organ development and other pathways were activated after GABP overexpression. Cell growth, proliferation, organ development and other pathways were inhibited . It was further confirmed that GABP was associated with proliferation. Among differentially expressed genes, there were 9 differentially expressed genes up-regulated by GABP overexpression and down-regulated by GABP knockdown . Through the analysis of Ingenuity Pathway Analysis database, GABP and GLI1 were most closely related .

Project description:In order to characterize gene expression networks linked to AT1 angiotensin receptors in the kidney, we carried out genome-wide transcriptional analysis of RNA from kidneys of wild-type (WT) and AT1A receptor-deficient mice (KOs) at baseline and after 2 days of angiotensin II infusion (1 ug/kg/min), using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays. At baseline, 405 genes were differentially expressed (>1.5X) between WT and KO kidneys. Of these, more than 80% were up-regulated in the KO group including genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell proliferation. After 2 days of angiotensin II infusion in WT mice, expression of ~805 genes was altered (18% up-regulated, 82% repressed). Genes in metabolism and ion transport pathways were up-regulated while there was attenuated expression of protective genes against oxidative stress including glutathione synthetase and mitochondrial SOD2. Angiotensin II infusion has little effect on blood pressure in KOs. Nonetheless, expression of more than 250 genes was altered in kidneys from KO mice during angiotensin II infusion; 14% were up-regulated, while 86% were repressed including genes involved in immune responses, angiogenesis, and glutathione metabolism. Between WT and KO kidneys during angiotensin II infusion, 728 genes were differentially expressed; 10% were increased and 90% were decreased in the WT group. Differentially regulated pathways included those involved in ion transport, immune responses, metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and oxidative stress. This genome-wide assessment should facilitate identification of critical distal pathways linked to blood pressure regulation. To define gene expression patterns in kidney triggered by of activation AT1 receptors, we used genome-wide transcriptional analysis of RNA from kidneys of wild-type and AT1A receptor-deficient mice at baseline and after 2 days of angiotensin II infusion (1 ug/kg/min), using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays. All of the experiments were conducted with male mice 2.5 months old and included 3 mice per experimental group. Synthesis of cRNA, hybridization and scanning of chips were conducted by Duke University microarray core facility (Duke University, Durham, NC).

Project description:Purpose: Our study clarifies the mechanism of Huangqi decoction (HQD) against DKD in diabetic db/db mice. Methods: Eight-week-old male diabetic db/db mice were randomly divided into four groups: Model (1% CMC), HQD-L (0.12 g/kg), HQD-M (0.36 g/kg), and HQD-H (1.08 g/kg) groups. Non-diabetic db/m mice were used as a control group. These mice received HQD treatment for 8 weeks continuously. After 8 weeks of feeding, kidneys were harvested to observe the kidney function, pathological changes, micro-assay study, and the protein expression levels. Results: HQD treatment improved the albumin/creatine ratio (ACR) and 24 h urinary albumin, prevented the pathological phenotypes of increased glomerular volume, widened mesangial areas, the proliferation of mesangial matrix, the disappearance of foot processes, the decreased expression of nephrin and the number of podocytes. The expression profile chips were assessed to reveal the global transcriptional response and predict related functions, diseases and pathways. To verify this, we found that HQD treatment activated the protein expressions of BMP1, BMP7, BMPR2, and active-Rap1 and inhibited Smad1 and phospho-ERK. In addition, HQD could improve lipid deposition in the kidneys of db/db mice. Conclusion: HQD prevents the progression of DKD in db/db mice by regulating the transcription of BMPs and their downstream target genes, inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK and Smad1 by promoting the binding of Rap1 to GTP and regulating the lipid metabolism dysfunction. These provide a new idea for the treatment of DKD. Overall, HQD had a significant protective effect against DKD. This may be related to the fact that HQD promotes the transcription of BMPs and their downstream target genes by upregulating BMPR-II and regulates the phosphorylation of ERK and Smad by promoting the binding of Rap1 to GTP. In addition, HQD also has a noticeable role in regulating lipid metabolism dysfunction in DKD, which provides a new idea for future research on HQD.
