Podocytes are specialized epithelial cells that are critical components of the
glomerular filtration barrier, and their dysfunction leads to proteinuria and
renal failure. Therefore, preserving podocyte function is therapeutically
significant. In this study, we identified Neph1 signaling as a therapeutic target
that upon inhibition prevented podocyte damage from a glomerular injury-inducing
agent puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN). To specifically inhibit Neph1 signaling,
we used a protein transduction approach, where the cytoplasmic domain of Neph1
(Neph1CD) tagged with a protein transduction domain trans-activator of
transcription was transduced in cultured podocytes prior to treatment with PAN.
The PAN-induced Neph1 phosphorylation was significantly reduced in
Neph1CD-transduced cells; in addition, these cells were resistant to PAN-induced
cytoskeletal damage. The biochemical analysis using subfractionation studies
showed that unlike control cells Neph1 was retained in the lipid raft fractions
in the transduced cells following treatment with PAN, indicating that
transduction of Neph1CD in podocytes prevented PAN-induced mislocalization of
Neph1. In accordance, the immunofluorescence analysis further suggested that
Neph1CD-transduced cells had increased ability to retain endogenous Neph1 at the
membrane in response to PAN-induced injury. Similar results were obtained when
angiotensin was used as an injury-inducing agent. Consistent with these
observations, maintaining high levels of Neph1 at the membrane using a podocyte
cell line overexpressing chimeric Neph1 increased the ability of podocytes to
resist PAN-induced injury and PAN-induced albumin leakage. Using a zebrafish in
vivo PAN and adriamycin injury models, we further demonstrated the ability of
transduced Neph1CD to preserve glomerular function. Collectively, these results
support the conclusion that inhibiting Neph1 signaling is therapeutically
significant in preventing podocyte damage from glomerular injury.
