Poor glycemic control profoundly affects protein expression and the cell signaling action that contributes to glycemic memory and irreversible progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We demonstrate that SHP-1 is elevated in podocytes of diabetic mice, causing insulin unresponsiveness and DN. Thus, sustained SHP-1 expression caused by hyperglycemia despite systemic glucose normalization could contribute to the glycemic memory effect in DN. Microalbuminuria, glomerular filtration rate, mesangial cell expansion, and collagen type IV and transforming growth factor-beta expression were significantly increased in diabetic Ins2(+/c96Y) mice compared with nondiabetic Ins2(+/+) mice and remained elevated despite glucose normalization with insulin implants. A persistent increase of SHP-1 expression in podocytes despite normalization of systemic glucose levels was associated with sustained inhibition of the insulin signaling pathways. In cultured podocytes, high glucose levels increased mRNA, protein expression, and phosphatase activity of SHP-1, which remained elevated despite glucose concentration returning to normal, causing persistent insulin receptor-beta inhibition. Histone posttranslational modification analysis showed that the promoter region of SHP-1 was enriched with H3K4me1 and H3K9/14ac in diabetic glomeruli and podocytes, which remained elevated despite glucose level normalization. Hyperglycemia induces SHP-1 promoter epigenetic modifications, causing its persistent expression and activity and leading to insulin resistance, podocyte dysfunction, and DN.
