Description

Application of KDM5B in auxiliary diagnosis of renal fibrosis
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to application of KDM5B in auxiliary diagnosis of renal fibrosis.
Background
Renal fibrosis is a chronic and progressive pathophysiological process of damage to cells inherent to the kidneys caused by a variety of causative factors, independent of underlying etiology. Renal fibrosis is mainly characterized by abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), a key pathological stage from normal to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to end-stage kidney disease (ESRD), and is considered to be the best histological predictor of reduced kidney function, as well as one of the major factors affecting prognosis of renal transplant patients. Kidney fibrosis affects half of the population of adults over 70 years and 10% of the world, bringing a tremendous economic burden to society, however no targeted drug is currently available to treat kidney fibrosis. Therefore, the pathogenesis of the renal fibers and a new target point are deeply explored, and the research and development of new drugs by using the target point have important research significance and clinical value.
Renal fibrosis is a complex pathophysiological process in which multiple factors and multiple signaling pathways are involved, and its pathogenesis has not been completely elucidated so far. Studies show that the epigenetic histone modification has a remarkable regulation and control effect on regulating TGF beta 1-induced renal fibrosis and ECM gene expression and downstream fibrosis promotion genes. Histone lysine demethylase 5B (KDM 5B) specifically removes dimethyl and trimethyl (H3K 4me2/me 3) of lysine (K4) at position 4 of histone 3 (H3), thereby inhibiting expression of the target gene. Abnormal expression of KDM5B is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Evidence suggests that KDM5B is a key regulator of the H3K 4-methylated group in early mouse embryo preimplantation stage development. KDM5B is also overexpressed, amplified, or mutated in many cancer types. In cancer cells, KDM5B regulates expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressors by mediating H3K4 methylation levels. In addition, KDM5B was found to bind to the promoter that activates transcription factor 3 (Atf 3) and inhibit expression of ATF3 by demethylating the activated H3K4me2/3 modification, thereby promoting heart failure. However, as a key molecule for epigenetic histone modification, the role of KDM5B in the progression of renal fibrosis has not been reported. Because histone modification is closely related to pathogenesis of renal fibrosis, the key epigenetic regulation and control effect of KDM5B in the pathogenesis of abnormal renal fibrosis is clarified, and the KDM5B is expected to become an important candidate target for intervention of renal fibrosis.

Example 3: value assessment of KDM5B for diagnosis of renal fibrosis
1. Experimental animal selection and feeding conditions:
SPF grade 7 week old C57 BL/6 male mice, weighing 16-18g, purchased from Liaoning long biotechnology Co., ltd, were kept in SPF environment with temperature controlled at 18-23℃and humidity maintained at 40% -60% under 12 hours light/12 hours darkness, and were given normal drinking water and ordinary rat food feeding.
2. The experimental method comprises the following steps:
After one week of adaptive feeding, the mice were randomly divided into Sham operation (Sham) groups and Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction (UUO) groups of 12 animals each. The UUO model construction method is the same as that of embodiment 2, and will not be described in detail here.
7 Days after the model, each group of mice was sacrificed, kidney tissue was harvested, paraffin embedded after fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde for 48 hours, cut into 4- μm thick sections, and UUO-induced kidney tissue fibrosis was detected using Masson staining. The expression change of KDM5B in kidney tissues of UFO mice and Sham mice is detected by adopting immunohistochemical staining, the experimental result is subjected to statistical analysis, an ROC curve is drawn, AUC values are counted, and the value of KDM5B for diagnosing renal fibrosis is evaluated.
3. Experimental results:
The Masson staining results are shown in fig. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5, the UUO mice showed significant fibrosis in kidney tissue compared to Sham mice, indicating that UUO-induced mouse kidney fibrosis model construction was successful.
Immunohistochemical staining results of UUO mice fibrillated kidney tissue KDM5B are shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from fig. 6, KDM5B expressed significantly higher in UUO mice fibrotic kidney tissue than Sham mice, and the differences were statistically significant.
Statistical analysis was performed on the immunohistochemical staining results of KDM5B, and a ROC curve was drawn for the diagnosis of KDM5B to distinguish UFO group mice from Sham mice, and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
As can be seen from fig. 7, the AUC of ROC curve for differentiating UUO group mice from Sham mice using the diagnosis of KDM5B reached 0.882, which is effective for differentiating kidney fibrosis mice from normal control mice. Therefore, the KDM5B can be used for auxiliary diagnosis of renal fibrosis and has higher diagnostic value.

(3) Effect of KDM5B Activity inhibitor TK-129 on TGF-beta 1-induced FN1 and alpha-SMA protein expression in HK-2
HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro, digested with pancreatin, resuspended and plated in 6-well plates with 1X 10 5 cells per well. The experimental setup groups were: control (Ctrl), TK-129 treated (TK-1295. Mu. M, TK-12910. Mu.M), TGF-beta.1 treated (TGF-beta.1), TGF-beta.1+TK-129 dosed (TGF-beta.1+TK-1295. Mu. M, TGF. Beta.1+TK-12910. Mu.M). The next day, control reagent (DMSO) and 5. Mu.M and 10. Mu.M TK-129 solution (TK-129 solution in DMSO) were added to HK-2 cells, respectively, and after two hours of incubation, TGF-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1 solution in citric acid at a concentration of 10ug/mL, diluted 1000-fold, and final concentration of 10 ng/mL) was added and incubation was continued for 24 hours. Cells were collected and assayed for total protein concentration using RIPA lysis and BCA protein quantification kit, and Western Blot was used to detect the effect of KDM5B activity inhibitor TK-129 on TGF-beta 1-induced expression of the fibrosis markers FN1 and alpha-SMA protein in HK-2. The experimental results are shown in FIG. 11.
As can be seen from fig. 11, the tgfβ1 treated group had significantly increased expression levels of the fibrosis marker proteins FN1 and α -SMA protein compared to the control group; whereas high doses of TK-129 (10. Mu.M) significantly reduced TGF-beta.1-induced FN1 and alpha-SMA expression compared to the TGF-beta.1 treated group. The above results indicate that inhibiting KDM5B activity in vitro with TK-129 significantly reduces the TGF-beta 1 induced fibrosis response of HK-2.
