HDAC2 targeting stabilizes the CoREST complex in renal tubular cells and protects against renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT: Histone/protein deacetylases (HDAC) 1 and 2 are typically viewed as structurally and functionally similar enzymes present within various co-regulatory complexes. We tested differential effects of these isoforms in renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) using inducible knockout mice and found no significant change in ischemic tolerance with HDAC1 deletion, but mitigation of ischemic injury with HDAC2 deletion. Restriction of HDAC2 deletion to the kidney via transplantation or PAX8-controlled proximal renal tubule-specific Cre resulted in renal IRI protection. Pharmacologic inhibition of HDAC2 increased histone acetylation in the kidney but did not extend renal protection. Protein analysis demonstrated increased HDAC1-associated CoREST protein in HDAC2-/- versus WT cells, suggesting that in
