Background
The essential role of tubular damage has been highlighted during the progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD), included diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the treatment options are still limited.
Methods
We interrogated the connectivity Map (CMap) with tubular transcriptomic profiles of biopsy-proven DN to identify a drug to reverse the regulated genes in tubulointerstitial component of DN. The effects of potential drug were validated in vivo STZ-induced early and late stage diabetic CD-1 male mice, as well as in non-diabetic mice including adenine-induced CKD and LPS-induced septic kidney injury.
Results
CAY10603, a specific inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), was identified as a drug to reverse the signature in both early- and late-stage DN. In patients with DN and mice with DKD, renal tubular expression of HDAC6 was significantly upregulated. In vivo, 5mg/kg dosage of CAY10603 significantly ameliorated tubular injury and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, reduced tubulointerstitial α-SMA and collagen I expression, and infiltration of F4/80+ macrophages in both early and late stage of diabetic kidney disease. In addition, CAY10603 also conferred renoprotection in non-diabetic mice including adenine-induced CKD and LPS-induced septic kidney injury. Mechanically, in vitro HK-2 cells, HDAC6 inhibition with CAY10603 regulated NLRP3 activation and membrane repair upstream and downstream of GSDMD.
Conclusion
Collectively, CAY10603 exhibited therapeutic potential against pyroptosis in tubular injury of CKD
