This study found that EP300 gene is closely related to the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and can promote the fibrotic processes of renal tubular epithelial cells by increasing the expression of HIF2 alpha.
Renal tubular damage occurs early in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and may play a key role in the progression of kidney disease. E1A binding protein P300 (EP300) gene polymorphism correlates with the development and advancement of DN. We will explore the expression and relationship of EP300 and hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF2 alpha) and the possible mechanism in the progression of DN. We studied the expression of EP300 and HIF2 alpha in the renal tubules of patients with DN. At the cellular level, the interaction between EP300 and HIF2 alpha were identified, and their relationship with cellular fibrosis was validated. Furthermore, we examined the effect of altered EP300 expression on downstream HIF2 alpha and renal tubular fibrosis in vivo and in vitro. EP300 and HIF2 alpha were strongly expressed in the renal tubules of DN patients and in HK-2 cells, and EP300 protein bound to the HIF2 alpha gene in the nucleus. Adenovirus-mediated EP300 inhibition or overexpression downregulated or upre-gulated HIF2 alpha expression in HK-2 cells, respectively. When EP300 was overexpressed in HK-2 cells, inhibition of HIF2 alpha did not change the EP300 level, but the fibrotic marker was downregulated. In DN mice, silencing EP300 inhibited HIF2 alpha expression levels and renal tubular fibrosis progression. In conclusion, this study defined that EP300 could promote renal tubular epithelial cell fibrotic processes by increasing HIF2 alpha expression in DN.
