T-2 Toxin-Mediated β-Arrestin-1 O-GlcNAcylation Exacerbates Glomerular Podocyte Injury via Regulating Histone Acetylation.

ABSTRACT: T-2 toxin causes renal dysfunction with proteinuria and glomerular podocyte damage. This work explores the role of metabolic disorder/reprogramming-mediated epigenetic modification in the progression of T-2 toxin-stimulated podocyte injury. A metabolomics experiment is performed to assess metabolic responses to T-2 toxin infection in human podocytes. Roles of protein O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) in regulating T-2 toxin-stimulated podocyte injury in mouse and podocyte models are assessed. O-GlcNAc target proteins are recognized by mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Moreover, histone acetylation and autophagy levels are measured. T-2 toxin infection upregulates glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) expression and enhances hexosamine biosynthetic pa
