Inhibition of p53/miR-34a/SIRT1 axis ameliorates podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy

Podocyte injury is associated with albuminuria and the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). MiR-34a, a p53-regulated miRNA, directly targets SIRT1 and contributed to DN progression. MiR-34a represses SIRT1 to activate p53 and establish a positive feedback loop. However, whether p53/miR-34a/SIRT1 signaling is activated in podocytes and contributes to DN pathogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we observed that serum miR-34a level was positively correlated with podocyte injury in DN patients. The expression of acetylated p53 and miR-34a was upregulated, SIRT1was downregulated in glomeruli from patients with DN and STZ induced diabetic mice, as well as in human podocytes treated with advanced glycation end (AGE). MiR-34a antagonism in vitro and vivo in STZ induced diabetic mice developed alleviated glomerulus injury as reflected by attenuated albuminuria, reduced podocyte loss and restored autophagic flux. In human podocyte, inhibition of AGE formation by pyridoxamine prevented miR-34a dependent repression of SIRT1, p53 acetylation and activate podocyte autophagy in a dose-dependent manner. MiR-34a overexpression increases acetylation of p53 by translational repression of SIRT1. SIRT1 overexpression also impacts AGE induced apoptosis through deacetylating p53, whereas silencing of SIRT1 by EX527 attenuated the cytoprotective functions of miR-34a knockdown. Moreover, blockade of p53 acetylation significantly rescued miR-34a-induced apoptosis through SIRT1 restoration. Collectively, we demonstrate that by activation of p53, AGE induced the transcription of miR-34a, miR-34a in turn repressed SIRT1 to activate p53, resulting in a positive-feedback loop and contributing to podocyte injury. Targeting modulation of p53/miR-34a/SIRT1 feedback by miR-34a knockdown or overexpression of SIRT1 could rescue podocyte injury during DN.
