Transcriptome Analysis Reveal Candidate Genes and Pathways Responses to Lactate Dehydrogenase Inhibition (Oxamate) in Hyperglycemic Human Renal Proximal Epithelial Tubular Cells.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Previous studies showed that oxamate could regulate glycemic homeostasis and impacted mitochondria respiration in a hyperglycemia-dependent manner in the rat proximal tubular cells. To explore the transcriptome gene expression profiling of kidney tissues in human renal proximal epithelial tubular cell line (HK-2), we treated HK-2 cells with high D-glucose (HG) for 7 days before the addition of 40 mM oxamate for a further 24 hours in the presence of HG in this study. Afterwards, we identified 3,884 differentially expressed (DE) genes based on adjusted P-value ≤ 0.05 and investigated gene relationships based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA)
