Abstract
Background: TFP5 is a Cdk5 inhibitor peptide, which could restore insulin production. However, the role of TFP5 in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is still unclear.
Objective: This study aims to characterize the transcriptome profiles of mRNA and lncRNA in TFP5-treated DN mice to mine key lncRNAs associated with TFP5 efficacy.
Methods: We evaluated the role of TFP5 in DN pathology and performed RNA sequencing in C57BL/6J control mice, C57BL/6J db/db model mice, and TFP5 treatment C57BL/6J db/db model mice. The differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were analyzed. WGCNA was used to screen hub-gene of TFP5 in treatment of DN.
Results: Our results showed that TFP5 therapy ameliorated renal tubular injury in DN mice. In addition, compared with the control group, the expression profile of lncRNAs in the model group was significantly disordered, while TFP5 alleviated the abnormal expression of lncRNAs. A total of 67 DElncRNAs shared among the three groups, 39 DElncRNAs showed a trend of increasing in the DN group and decreasing after TFP treatment, while the remaining 28 showed the opposite trend. DElncRNAs were enriched in glycosphingolipid biosynthesis signaling pathways, NF-κB signaling pathways, and complement activation signaling pathways. There were 1028 up-regulated and 1117 down-regulated DEmRNAs in the model group compared to control group, and 123 up-regulated and 153 down-regulated DEmRNAs in the TFP5 group compared to the model group. The DEmRNAs were involved in PPAR and MAPK signaling pathway. We confirmed that MSTRG.28304.1 is a key DElncRNA for TFP5 treatment of DN. TFP5 ameliorated DN maybe by inhibiting MSTRG.28304.1 through regulating the insulin resistance and PPAR signaling pathway. The qRT-PCR results confirmed the reliability of the sequencing data through verifying the expression of ENSMUST00000211209, MSTRG.31814.5, MSTRG.28304.1, and MSTRG.45642.14.
Conclusion: Overall, the present study provides novel insights into molecular mechanisms of TFP5 treatment in DN.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
