Pioglitazone Protects Tubular Epithelial Cells during Kidney Fibrosis by Attenuating miRNA Dysregulation and Autophagy Dysfunction Induced by TGF-β
Excessive renal TGF-β production and pro-fibrotic miRNAs are important drivers of kidney fibrosis that lack any efficient treatment. Dysfunctional autophagy might play an important role in the pathogenesis. We aimed to study the yet unknown effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonist pioglitazone (Pio) on renal autophagy and miRNA dysregulation during fibrosis. Mouse primary tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) were isolated, pre-treated with 5 µM pioglitazone, and then stimulated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 h. Male 10-week-old C57Bl6 control (CTL) and TGF-β overexpressing mice were fed with regular chow (TGF) or Pio-containing chow (20 mg/kg/day) for 5 weeks (TGF + Pio). PTEC and kidneys were evaluated for mRNA and protein expression. In PTEC, pioglitazone attenuated (p < 0.05) the TGF-β-induced up-regulation of Col1a1 (1.4-fold), Tgfb1 (2.2-fold), Ctgf (1.5-fold), Egr2 (2.5-fold) mRNAs, miR-130a (1.6-fold), and miR-199a (1.5-fold), inhibited epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and rescued autophagy function. In TGF mice, pioglitazone greatly improved kidney fibrosis and related dysfunctional autophagy (increased LC3-II/I ratio and reduced SQSTM1 protein content (p < 0.05)). These were accompanied by 5-fold, 3-fold, 12-fold, and 2-fold suppression (p < 0.05) of renal Ccl2, Il6, C3, and Lgals3 mRNA expression, respectively. Our results implicate that pioglitazone counteracts multiple pro-fibrotic processes in the kidney, including autophagy dysfunction and miRNA dysregulation.
