摘要

导言:糖尿病肾病(DKD)是严重的糖尿病相关并发症,足细胞丢失是DKD的重要组织学标志。足细胞在DKD中的细胞和分子特征尚未完全阐明。方法:本研究分析了肾脏相关的单核RNA-seq数据集(GSE131882、GSE121862和GSE141115)和人糖尿病肾小球转录组谱(GSE30122)。western blot和免疫组化检测ARHGAP28的表达。结果:在人类肾脏组织中,足细胞中鉴定出154个差异表达基因(DEGs),这些基因在与肾元发育和细胞外基质-受体相互作用相关的生物过程中富集。同样,在小鼠肾脏中,发现了344个deg,聚集在与肾脏发育和信号机制相关的途径中,如PI3K/Akt(磷脂酰肌醇-3激酶/蛋白激酶B)和PPAR(过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体)。在糖尿病人肾小球中,鉴定出438个DEGs,在糖尿病肾病相关通路中显示出显著的富集。Venn分析显示22个DEGs在人和小鼠足细胞和糖尿病肾小球中共同存在,其中ARHGAP28在足细胞中明显过表达。db/db小鼠糖尿病肾病模型显示,ARHGAP28在肾皮质和肾小球中的表达显著上调。使用高糖足细胞模型的体外研究证实了这些发现。结论:总的来说,本研究提供了对DKD的功能和诊断的深入了解,并表明足细胞中的ARHGAP28是DKD的潜在生物标志物。

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals ARHGAP28 expression of podocytes as a biomarker in human diabetic nephropathy.

Introduction: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) represents serious diabetes-associated complications, and podocyte loss is an important histologic sign of DKD. The cellular and molecular profiles of podocytes in DKD have yet to be fully elucidated.

Methods: This study analyzed kidney-related single-nucleus RNA-seq datasets (GSE131882, GSE121862, and GSE141115) and human diabetic kidney glomeruli transcriptome profiling (GSE30122). ARHGAP28 expression was validated by western blot and immunohistochemistry.

Results: In human kidney tissues, 154 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in podocytes, which were enriched in biological processes related to nephron development and extracellular matrix-receptor interactions. Similarly, in the mouse kidney, 344 DEGs were found, clustering in pathways associated with renal development and signaling mechanisms like PI3K/Akt (phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B) and PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor). In diabetic human kidney glomeruli, 438 DEGs were identified, showing significant enrichment in pathways related to diabetic nephropathy. Venn analysis revealed 22 DEGs common across human and mouse podocytes and diabetic glomeruli, with ARHGAP28 being notably overexpressed in podocytes. The diabetic nephropathy model using db/db mice showed that ARHGAP28 expression was significantly upregulated in the kidney cortex and glomeruli. In vitro studies using a high-glucose podocyte model corroborated these findings.

Conclusions: Collectively, this study provides an insight into the function and diagnosis of DKD and indicates that ARHGAP28 in podocytes is a potential biomarker of DKD.
