HDAC4 blocks autophagy to trigger podocyte injury: non-epigenetic action in diabetic nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases including diabetic nephropathy (DN); however, the mechanism is poorly understood. Wang et al. unravel the changes in expression of various HDACs in DN and demonstrate that HDAC4 specifically contributes to podocyte injury in DN. HDAC4 deacetylates STAT1 to suppress autophagy, an essential cellular process for the function and viability of podocytes. The development of HDAC isoform-specific inhibitors may provide efficacious therapeutics for DN and related renal diseases.

Apelin involved in progression of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting autophagy in podocytes
Podocyte autophagy dysfunction has been reported to be responsible for the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), however, the factors contributed to autophagy dysfunction in type 2 diabetes are not fully understood. Among promoting factors in DN, an adipokine, apelin, had been showed to trigger podocyte dysfunction. Therefore, it is hypothesized that apelin, which is increased in plasma in ...
متن کاملAutophagy Attenuates Diabetic Glomerular Damage through Protection of Hyperglycemia-Induced Podocyte Injury
Despite the recent attention focused on the important role of autophagy in maintaining podocyte homeostasis, little is known about the changes and mechanisms of autophagy in podocyte dysfunction under diabetic condition. In this study, we investigated the role of autophagy in podocyte biology and its involvement in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Podocytes had a high basal level of au...
متن کاملImpaired Podocyte Autophagy Exacerbates Proteinuria in Diabetic Nephropathy.
Overcoming refractory massive proteinuria remains a clinical and research issue in diabetic nephropathy. This study was designed to investigate the pathogenesis of massive proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy, with a special focus on podocyte autophagy, a system of intracellular degradation that maintains cell and organelle homeostasis, using human tissue samples and animal models. Insufficient ...
متن کاملResearch Progress on Mechanism of Podocyte Depletion in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) together with glomerular hyperfiltration has been implicated in the development of diabetic microangiopathy in the initial stage of diabetic diseases. Increased amounts of urinary protein in DN may be associated with functional and morphological alterations of podocyte, mainly including podocyte hypertrophy, epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT), podocyte d...
متن کاملPodocyte structural parameters do not predict progression to diabetic nephropathy in normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND Podocyte injury has been implicated in diabetic nephropathy (DN) ranging from normoalbuminuria to proteinuria in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. METHODS To determine whether podocyte structural parameters predict DN risk in initially normoalbuminuric long-standing type 1 diabetic patients, we performed a nested case-control study in sex and diabetes duration-matched progressors (p...
