ABSTRACT
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a common cause of primary glomerulonephritis, has a poor prognosis and is pathologically featured by tubulointerstitial injury. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is an extracellular matrix protein that acts in combination with different receptors in the kidney. Here, we analyzed the tubular expression of TSP-1 and its receptor integrin ß3 (ITGB3) in FSGS. Previously the renal interstitial chip analysis of FSGS patients with tubular interstitial injury showed that the expression of TSP-1 and ITGB3 were upregulated. We found that the expression of TSP-1 and ITGB3 increased in the tubular cells of FSGS patients. The plasma level of TSP-1 increased and was correlated to the degree of tubulointerstitial lesions in FSGS patients. TSP-1/ITGB3 signaling induced renal tubular injury in HK-2 cells exposure to bovine serum albumin and the adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy model. THBS1 KO ameliorated tubular injury and renal fibrosis in ADR-treated mice. THBS1 knockdown decreased the expression of KIM-1 and caspase 3 in the HK-2 cells treated with bovine serum albumin, while THBS1 overexpression could induce tubular injury. In vivo, we identified cyclo-RGDfK as an agent to block the binding of TSP-1 to ITGB3. Cyclo-RGDfK treatment could alleviate ADR-induced renal tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis in mice. Moreover, TSP-1 and ITGB3 were colocalized in tubular cells of FSGS patients and ADR-treated mice. Taken together, our data showed that TSP-1/ITGB3 signaling contributed to the development of renal tubulointerstitial injury in FSGS, potentially identifying a new therapeutic target for FSGS.
