Phase separation mediated transcriptional activity of FOXK1 triggers glycolysis and facilitates renal fibrosis

ABSTRACT: Tubular epithelial cells (TECs) undergo an energy metabolism shift from fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to glycolysis in renal fibrosis. The critical pathways leading to the halt of FAO in TECs have been well described, whereas the mechanism underlying the burst of glycolysis remains elusive. We herein reported a critical glycolysis regulator emerged in TECs amid the renal fibrosis, the transcriptional factor forkhead box protein K1 (FOXK1), which exhibited fibrogenic and metabolism-rewiring capacity. Genetic modification of FOXK1 in TECs altered the glycolytic metabolism and fibrotic lesion. The surge of a set of glycolysis-related genes following FOXK1 activation contributed to the energic shift. Nuclear-translocated FOXK1 formed condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to drive the target genes transcription. The core intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) within FOXK1 were further mapped and validated. Finally, we explored the therapeutic strategy targeting Foxk1 in the CKD mouse model by subcapsular injecting Foxk1-shRNA-carrying AAV9 vector.

Sirtuin 3 regulates mitochondrial protein acetylation and metabolism in tubular epithelial cells during renal fibrosis

Project description:Proximal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) demand high energy and rely on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as a main energy source. However, this is disturbed in renal fibrosis. Acetylation is an important posttranslational modification for mitochondrial metabolism. The mitochondrial protein NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) regulates mitochondrial metabolic function. Therefore, we aimed to identify the changes in the acetylome in tubules from fibrotic kidneys and determine their association with mitochondria. We found that decreased SIRT3 expression was accompanied by increased acetylation in mitochondria that have separated from TECs during the early phase of renal fibrosis. SIRT3 knockout mice were susceptible to hyper-acetylated mitochondrial proteins and to severe renal fibrosis. The activation of SIRT3 by honokiol ameliorated acetylation and prevented renal fibrosis. Analysis of the acetylome in separated tubules using LC-MS/MS showed that most kidney proteins were hyper-acetylated after unilateral ureteral obstruction. The increased acetylated proteins with 26.76% were mitochondrial proteins which were mapped to a broad range of mitochondrial pathways including fatty acid β-oxidation, the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1α (PDHE1α), which is the primary link between glycolysis and the TCA cycle, was hyper-acetylated at lysine 385 in TECs after TGF-β1 stimulation, and was regulated by SIRT3. Our findings showed that mitochondrial proteins involved in regulating energy metabolism were acetylated and targeted by SIRT3 in TECs. The deacetylation of PDHE1α by SIRT3 at lysine 385 plays a key role in metabolic reprogramming associated with renal fibrosis.

Cyclin B1 deficiency in renal tubular epithelial cells promotes kidney ageing and fibrosis in mice

Project description:After severe renal injury, renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) will be arrested in G2/M phase, and the arrested cells will be aging, showing senescence related secretory phenotype (SASP), which mediates renal fibrosis by secreting fibrogenic cytokines. Cyclin B1 is an important protein that promotes G2/M phase transition of cell cycle. Its role in renal fibrosis mediated by G2/M arrest of TECs is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cyclin B1 in renal fibrosis induced by TECs G2/M arrest and its mechanism

Therapeutically enabled mammalian kidney repair and regeneration

Project description:The kidney has large regenerative capacity that is impeded when injured renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) undergo SNAI1-driven partial epithelial mesenchymal transition (pEMT). Here we investigate the role of IL11 in TEC pEMT and kidney repair. Wild-type mice with acute kidney injury (AKI) upregulate IL11 in TECs triggering an ERK/P90RSK/GSK3β axis of SNAI1 expression leading to impaired renal function, which is abrogated in Il11 null mice. In mouse models of AKI, a neutralizing IL11 antibody promotes kidney regeneration, while attenuating pEMT, fibrosis and kidney dysfunction. In TECs, TGFβ1 induces autocrine IL11/ERK-dependent pEMT leading to paracrine, IL11-mediated fibroblast activation. Mice with TEC-specific deletion of Il11ra1 are protected from pEMT, inflammation, fibrosis and renal failure. In a mouse model of chronic kidney disease, administration of anti-IL11 reverses fibrosis, regenerates kidney parenchyma and restores renal function. Therapeutic inhibition of IL11 signaling appears permissive for promoting kidney regeneration and improving kidney function.

Novel players in renal fibrosis uncovered by gene expression analyses of TGF-β1 treated renal tubular epithelial cells and diseased kidneys

Project description:Tubular epithelial cells (TECs) play a major role in potentiating renal fibrosis. While TGF-β1 is a key inducer of the pro-fibrotic phenotype in TECs, inhibition of TGF-β1 also blocks its protective effects, making this an unsuccessful strategy for treating renal fibrosis. Molecules induced by TGF-β1 to regulate TEC phenotype would serve as more specific and effective targets. To uncover such molecules, we performed high throughput analyses on TGF-β1 treated renal tubular epithelial cells (HKC). RNA sequencing identified 3565 genes and proteomics identified 74 proteins differentially regulated by TGF-β1 in HKC. We then selected 47 genes that were most upregulated in our in vitro datasets and that do not have well-characterized roles in renal fibrosis based on our review of the literature. We searched 8 publicly available datasets containing transcriptomic data from diseased human kidneys for gene expression patterns of the selected genes and found that MARCKS and DOCK2 were amongst the most consistently upregulated in the human datasets. In HKC, MARCKS knockdown decreased TGF-β1 mediated upregulation of pro-fibrotic markers, while DOCK2 knockdown had the opposite effect. Our data suggests novel roles for these proteins in renal TECs as potential promoters the pro-fibrotic phenotype.

Pyruvate kinase M2 modification by a lipid peroxidation byproduct acrolein contributes to kidney fibrosis

Project description:This study used a proteomic approach with an anti-Acr-PC antibody followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis to identify several acrolein-modified protein targets. Among these protein targets, pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) was found to be modified by acrolein at Cys358, leading to the inactivation of PKM2 contributing to the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis through HIF1 accumulation, aberrant glycolysis, and upregulation of EMT in HFD-STZ-induced DN mice. Finally, PKM2 activity and renal fibrosis in DN mice can be reduced by acrolein scavengers such as hydralazine and carnosine. These results imply that acrolein-modified PKM2 contributes to renal fibrosis in the pathogenesis of DN.

Sirtuin 5 Reduces Malonylation in Non-mitochondrial Metabolic Pathways in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Project description:Early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is marked by dramatic metabolic reprogramming due to nutrient excess, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased renal energy requirements from hyperfiltration. We hypothesized that changes in metabolism in DKD may be regulated by Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5), a deacylase that removes post-translational modifications derived from acyl-coenzyme A and has been demonstrated to regulate numerous metabolic pathways. We found decreased malonylation in kidney cortex (~80% proximal tubules) of type 2 diabetic BKS db/db mice, associated with increased SIRT5 expression. Proteomics analysis of malonylated peptides found that proteins with significantly decreased malonylated lysines in the db/db cortex were enriched in non-mitochondrial metabolic pathways: glycolysis and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation (FAO). To confirm relevance of these findings in human disease, we analyzed diabetic kidney transcriptomic data from a cohort of Southwestern American Indians which revealed tubulointerstitial specific increase in Sirt5 expression. Overexpression of SIRT5 in cultured human proximal tubules demonstrated increased aerobic glycolysis with reduced mitochondrial metabolism, and conversely with decreased SIRT5 expression, there was reduced glycolysis and increased mitochondrial metabolism. These findings suggest that SIRT5 may lead to differential nutrient partitioning and utilization in DKD. Our findings highlight a previously unrecognized role for SIRT5 in metabolic reprogramming in DKD.

A fatty acid oxidation-dependent metabolic shift regulates adult neural stem cell quiescence

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is important for certain forms of cognition and failing neurogenesis has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. The neurogenic capacity of hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) depends on a balance between quiescent and proliferative states. However, how this balance is regulated remains poorly understood. Here we show that the rate of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defines quiescence vs. proliferation in NSPCs. Quiescent NSPCs show high levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a)-dependent FAO, which is downregulated in proliferating NSPCs. Pharmacological inhibition and conditional deletion of Cpt1a in vitro and in vivo leads to altered NSPC behavior, showing that Cpt1a-dependent FAO is required for stem cell maintenance and proper neurogenesis. Strikingly, experimental manipulation of malonyl-CoA, the metabolite that regulates levels of FAO, is sufficient to induce exit from quiescence and to enhance NSPC proliferation. Thus, the data presented here identify a shift in FAO metabolism that governs NSPC behavior and suggest an instructive role for fatty acid metabolism in regulating NSPC activity.

Induction of fatty acid oxidation underlies DNA damage-induced cell death and ameliorates obesity-driven chemoresistance

Project description:The DNA damage response is essential for preserving genome integrity and eliminating damaged cells. Although cellular metabolism plays a central role in cell fate decision between proliferation, survival or death, the metabolic response to DNA damage remains largely obscure. Here, we show that DNA damage induces fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which is required for DNA damage-induced cell death. Mechanistically, FAO induction increases cellular acetyl-CoA levels and promotes N-alpha-acetylation of caspase-2, leading to cell death. Whereas chemotherapy increases FAO related genes through PPARα, accelerated hypoxia-inducible factor-1α stabilization by tumor cells in obese mice impedes the upregulation of FAO, which contributes to its chemoresistance. Finally, we find that improving FAO by PPARα activation ameliorates obesity-driven chemoresistance and enhances the outcomes of chemotherapy in obese mice. These findings reveal the shift toward FAO induction is an important metabolic response to DNA damage and may provide effective therapeutic strategies for cancer patients with obesity.

Tumor metastasis to lymph node requires YAP-dependent metabolic adaptation

Project description:In cancer patients, metastasis of tumors to sentinel lymph nodes (LN) predicts disease progression and often guides treatment decisions. The mechanisms underlying tumor LN metastasis are poorly understood. Using comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses of primary and LN metastatic tumors in mice, we found that LN metastasis requires that tumor cells undergo a metabolic shift toward fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Transcriptional co-activator yes-associated protein (YAP) is selectively activated in LN metastatic tumors, leading to upregulation of genes in the FAO signaling pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of FAO or genetic ablation of YAP suppressed LN metastasis in mice. Several bioactive bile acids were highly accumulated in the LN metastatic tumor. Inhibition of FAO or YAP may merit exploration as therapeutic strategies for mitigating tumor LN metastasis.

Endogenous renal adiponectin drives gluconeogenesis through enhancing pyruvate and fatty acid utilization

Project description:Adiponectin is an important secretory protein, primarily produced in adipose tissue. However, low but detectable expression of adiponectin can be observed in cell types beyond adipocytes, particularly in kidney tubular cells, but its local renal role is unknown. We assessed the role of renal adiponectin by utilizing male doxycycline inducible kidney tubular cell-specific adiponectin overexpression or knockout mice. Kidney-specific adiponectin overexpression induces a doubling of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase expression and enhanced pyruvate-mediated glucose production, tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates and an upregulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO). The inhibition of FAO reduces the adiponectin-induced enhancement of glucose production, highlighting the role of FAO in the induction of renal gluconeogenesis. In contrast, kidney-specific adiponectin deleted mice exhibit enhanced glucose tolerance as well as a lower utilization and greater accumulation of lipid species. In summary, renal adiponectin is a potent inducer of gluconeogenesis by driving enhanced FAO in the kidney and underline the important systemic role of renal gluconeogenesis.
