Nudel involvement in the high glucose-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tubular epithelial cells.
American Journal of Physiology. Renal Physiology 2018 December 13
Nudel is a newly discovered factor related to cell migration. The tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) includes four steps: the loss of the adhesive properties of epithelial cells, the acquisition of a mesenchymal cell phenotype, the destruction of the tubular basal membrane and the migration into the renal interstitium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of Nudel in the high glucose-induced EMT of tubular epithelial cells. Human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKCs) were treated with Nudel shRNA to clarify the role and mechanism of Nudel in tubular EMT induced by high glucose. We found that Nudel was expressed at a high level in high glucose-stimulated HKCs, and the expression of Nudel was associated with the activation of STAT3. After transfection with Nudel shRNA, we detected the expression levels of E-cadherin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome family of proteins (including WASP, N-WASP, WAVE1, WAVE2 and WAVE3) via assay. Cell migration was analyzed by the scratching method. The results showed that high glucose downregulated E-cadherin expression, upregulated α-SMA expression, and promoted the migration of HKCs. The expression levels of N-WASP, WAVE1 and WAVE2 were also elevated in HKCs treated with high glucose. All changes induced by high glucose were ameliorated by Nudel depletion. We conclude that Nudel participates in the transition and the migration of tubular epithelial cells via the regulation of WASP family proteins.
