Role of TSP-1 and its receptor ITGB3 in the renal tubulointerstitial injury of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a common cause of primary glomerulonephritis, has a poor prognosis and is pathologically featured by tubulointerstitial injury. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an extracellular matrix protein that acts in combination with different receptors in the kidney. Here, we analyzed the tubular expression of TSP-1 and its receptor integrin β3 (ITGB3) in FSGS. Previously the renal interstitial chip analysis of FSGS patients with tubular interstitial injury showed that the expression of TSP-1 and ITGB3 were upregulated. We found that the expression of TSP-1 and ITGB3 increased in the tubular cells of FSGS patients. The plasma level of TSP-1 increased and was correlated to the degree of tubulointerstitial lesions in FSGS patients. TSP-1/ITGB3 signaling induced renal tubular injury in HK-2 cells exposure to bovine serum albumin and the adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy model. THBS1 KO ameliorated tubular injury and renal fibrosis in ADR-treated mice. THBS1 knockdown decreased the expression of KIM-1 and caspase 3 in the HK-2 cells treated with bovine serum albumin, while THBS1 overexpression could induce tubular injury. In vivo, we identified cyclo-RGDfK as an agent to block the binding of TSP-1 to ITGB3. Cyclo-RGDfK treatment could alleviate ADR-induced renal tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis in mice. Moreover, TSP-1 and ITGB3 were colocalized in tubular cells of FSGS patients and ADR-treated mice. Taken together, our data showed that TSP-1/ITGB3 signaling contributed to the development of renal tubulointerstitial injury in FSGS, potentially identifying a new therapeutic target for FSGS.

Project description:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a leading cause of kidney disease worldwide. The presumed etiology of primary FSGS is a plasma factor with responsiveness to immunosuppressive therapy and a risk of recurrence after kidney transplant-important disease characteristics. In contrast, adaptive FSGS is associated with excessive nephron workload due to increased body size, reduced nephron capacity, or single glomerular hyperfiltration associated with certain diseases. Additional etiologies are now recognized as drivers of FSGS: high-penetrance genetic FSGS due to mutations in one of nearly 40 genes, virus-associated FSGS, and medication-associated FSGS. Emerging data support the identification of a sixth category: APOL1 risk allele-associated FSGS in individuals with sub-Saharan ancestry. The classification of a particular patient with FSGS relies on integration of findings from clinical history, laboratory testing, kidney biopsy, and in some patients, genetic testing. The kidney biopsy can be helpful, with clues provided by features on light microscopy (e.g, glomerular size, histologic variant of FSGS, microcystic tubular changes, and tubular hypertrophy), immunofluorescence (e.g, to rule out other primary glomerulopathies), and electron microscopy (e.g., extent of podocyte foot process effacement, podocyte microvillous transformation, and tubuloreticular inclusions). A complete assessment of renal histology is important for establishing the parenchymal setting of segmental glomerulosclerosis, distinguishing FSGS associated with one of many other glomerular diseases from the clinical-pathologic syndrome of FSGS. Genetic testing is beneficial in particular clinical settings. Identifying the etiology of FSGS guides selection of therapy and provides prognostic insight. Much progress has been made in our understanding of FSGS, but important outstanding issues remain, including the identity of the plasma factor believed to be responsible for primary FSGS, the value of routine implementation of genetic testing, and the identification of more effective and less toxic therapeutic interventions for FSGS.
