Histone Methylation Inhibitor DZNep Ameliorated the Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Inhibiting TIM-1 Mediated T Cell Activation.
FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE(2020)
Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after renal transplantation often leads to the loss of kidney graft function. However, there is still a lack of efficient regimens to prevent or alleviate renal IRI. Our study focused on the renoprotective effect of 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep), which is a histone methylation inhibitor. We found that DZNep significantly alleviated renal IRI by suppressing nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa B), thus inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors in renal tubular epithelial cells in vivo or in vitro. After treatment with DZNep, T cell activation was impaired in the spleen and kidney, which correlated with the downregulated expression of T-cell immunoglobulin mucin (TIM)-1 on T cells and TIM-4 in macrophages. In addition, pretreatment with DZNep was not sufficient to protect the kidney, while administration of DZNep from before to after surgery significantly ameliorated IRI. Our findings suggest that DZNep can be a novel strategy for preventing renal IRI following kidney transplantation.
