KLF6 Acetylation Promotes Sublytic C5b-9-Induced Production of MCP-1 and RANTES in Experimental Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis.


ABSTRACT: Rat Thy-1 nephritis (Thy-1N) is an experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) for studying human MsPGN. Although sublytic C5b-9 complex formation on glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) and renal MCP-1 and RANTES production in rats with Thy-1N have been proved, the role and mechanism of MCP-1 or RANTES synthesis in GMCs induced by sublytic C5b-9 are poorly elucidated. In this study, we first found the expression of transcription factor (KLF6), co-activator (KAT7) and chemokines (MCP-1 and RANTES) was all up-regulated both in renal tissue of Thy-1N rats (in vivo) and in sublytic C5b-9-induced GMCs (in vitro). Further in vitro experiments revealed that KLF6 bound to MCP-1 promoter (-297 to -123 nt) and RANTES promoter (-343 to -191 nt), leading to MCP-1 and RANTES gene transcription. Meanwhile, KAT7 also bound to the same region of MCP-1 and RANTES promoter in a KLF6-dependent manner, and KLF6 was acetylated by KAT7 at lysine residue 100, which finally promoted MCP-1 and RANTES expression. Moreover, our in vivo experiments discovered that knockdown of renal KAT7 or KLF6 gene obviously reduced MCP-1 and RANTES production, GMCs proliferation, ECM accumulation, and proteinuria secretion in Thy-1N rats. Collectively, our study indicates that sublytic C5b-9-induced MCP-1 and RANTES synthesis is associated with KAT7-mediated KLF6 acetylation and elevated KLF6 transcriptional activity, which might provide a new insight into the pathogenesis of rat Thy-1N and human MsPGN.
