Connectivity mapping of glomerular proteins identifies dimethylaminoparthenolide as a new inhibitor of diabetic kidney disease

ABSTRACT: While blocking the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) has been the main therapeutic strategy to control diabetic kidney disease (DKD) for many years, 25-30% of diabetic patients still develop the disease. In the present work we adopted a system biology strategy to analyze glomerular protein signatures to identify drugs with potential therapeutic properties in DKD acting through a RAAS-independent mechanism. Glomeruli were isolated from wild type and type 1 diabetic mice (Ins2Akita) treated or not with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) ramipril. Ramipril efficiently reduced the urinary albumin/creatine ratio (ACR) of Ins2Akita mice without modifying DKD-associated renal-injuries. Large scale quantitative proteomics was used to identify the DKD-associated glomerular proteins (DKD-GPs) that were ramipril-insensitive (RI-DKD-GPs). We then applied an in silico drug repurposing approach using a pattern-matching algorithm (Connectivity Mapping) to compare the RI-DKD-GPs’s signature with a collection of thousands of transcriptional signatures of bioactive compounds. The sesquiterpene lactone parthelonide was identified as one of the top compounds predicted to reverse the RI-DKD-GPs’s signature. Treatment of diabetic Ins2Akita mice with dimethylaminoparthenolide (DMAPT), a water soluble analogue of parthenolide, significantly reduced urinary ACR. However, in contrast to ramipril, DMAPT also significantly reduced glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Using a system biology approach we identified DMAPT, as a compound with a potential add-on value to standard-of-care ACEi-treatment in DKD.

Project description:Purpose: Our study clarifies the mechanism of Huangqi decoction (HQD) against DKD in diabetic db/db mice. Methods: Eight-week-old male diabetic db/db mice were randomly divided into four groups: Model (1% CMC), HQD-L (0.12 g/kg), HQD-M (0.36 g/kg), and HQD-H (1.08 g/kg) groups. Non-diabetic db/m mice were used as a control group. These mice received HQD treatment for 8 weeks continuously. After 8 weeks of feeding, kidneys were harvested to observe the kidney function, pathological changes, micro-assay study, and the protein expression levels. Results: HQD treatment improved the albumin/creatine ratio (ACR) and 24 h urinary albumin, prevented the pathological phenotypes of increased glomerular volume, widened mesangial areas, the proliferation of mesangial matrix, the disappearance of foot processes, the decreased expression of nephrin and the number of podocytes. The expression profile chips were assessed to reveal the global transcriptional response and predict related functions, diseases and pathways. To verify this, we found that HQD treatment activated the protein expressions of BMP1, BMP7, BMPR2, and active-Rap1 and inhibited Smad1 and phospho-ERK. In addition, HQD could improve lipid deposition in the kidneys of db/db mice. Conclusion: HQD prevents the progression of DKD in db/db mice by regulating the transcription of BMPs and their downstream target genes, inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK and Smad1 by promoting the binding of Rap1 to GTP and regulating the lipid metabolism dysfunction. These provide a new idea for the treatment of DKD. Overall, HQD had a significant protective effect against DKD. This may be related to the fact that HQD promotes the transcription of BMPs and their downstream target genes by upregulating BMPR-II and regulates the phosphorylation of ERK and Smad by promoting the binding of Rap1 to GTP. In addition, HQD also has a noticeable role in regulating lipid metabolism dysfunction in DKD, which provides a new idea for future research on HQD.
