Background: Mesangial collagen synthesis in renal glomeruli contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) which is one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus. However, the underlying mechanism of mesangial collagen synthesis is largely unknown. Methods: The differential expression of CHOP and TRIM13 which is a well-defined E3 ubiquitin ligase was compared in renal biopsy samples from DN/normal renal tissues, in isolated glomeruli of diabetic/control mice, as well as in high glucose (HG) or TGF-beta 1-stimulated renal mesangial cells. Then the relationship between TRIM13 and CHOP was explored using the ubiquitination assay. Findings: We found that the expression of TRIM13 was downregulated in renal biopsies, isolated glomeruli of diabetic mice, and HG/TGF-beta 1-stimulated renal mesangial cells, while the expression of CHOP was upregulated. An increased level of TRIM13 promoter methylation contributed to the deregulation of TRIM13 in renal glomeruli of DN. The ubiquitination assay confirmed that TRIM13 promoted ubiquitination and degradation of CHOP. Meanwhile, overexpressing TRIM13 attenuated DN-induced collagen synthesis and restored renal function in vitro and in vivo via downregulating CHOP. Interpretation: Our findings demonstrated that overexpressed TRIM13 suppresses mesangial collagen synthesis in DN by promoting ubiquitination of CHOP, suggesting TRIM13 as a potential therapeutic target in treating DN.
