SIRT2 Regulates LPS-Induced Renal Tubular CXCL2 and CCL2 Expression.

ABSTRACT: Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase, is involved in carcinogenesis and genomic instability and modulates proinflammatory immune responses. However, its role in renal inflammatory injury has not been demonstrated. In this study, we explored the expression patterns of CXCL2 and CCL2 in kidney tissue from Sirt2(-/-) and Sirt2(+/+) mice and in mouse proximal tubular epithelial (MPT) cells. CXCL2 and CCL2 were significantly downregulated at both the mRNA and the protein levels in kidneys of LPS-treated Sirt2(-/-) mice compared with those of LPS-treated Sirt2(+/+) mice. Furthermore, SIRT2 deficiency ameliorated LPS-induced infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages, acute tubular injury, and decrease of renal function. Supporting these observations, CXCL2 and CCL2 expressi
