Autophagy is emerging as an important pathway in many diseases including diabetic
nephropathy. It is acknowledged that oxidative stress plays a critical role in
autophagy dysfunction and diabetic nephropathy, and KCa3.1 blockade ameliorates
diabetic renal fibrosis through inhibiting TGF-?1 signaling pathway. To identify
the role of KCa3.1 in dysfunctional tubular autophagy in diabetic nephropathy,
human proximal tubular cells (HK2) transfected with scrambled or KCa3.1 siRNAs
were exposed to TGF-?1 for 48?h, then autophagosome formation, the autophagy
marker LC3, signaling molecules PI3K, Akt and mTOR, and oxidative stress marker
nitrotyrosine were examined respectively. In vivo, LC3, nitrotyrosine and
phosphorylated mTOR were examined in kidneys of diabetic KCa3.1+/+ and KCa3.1-/-
mice. The results demonstrated that TGF-?1 increased the formation of autophagic
vacuoles, LC3 expression, and phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt and mTOR in scrambled
siRNA transfected HK2 cells compared to control cells, which was reversed in
KCa3.1 siRNA transfected HK2 cells. In vivo, expression of LC3 and nitrotyrosine,
and phosphorylation of mTOR were significantly increased in kidneys of diabetic
KCa3.1+/+ mice compared to non-diabetic mice, which were attenuated in kidneys of
diabetic KCa3.1-/- mice. These results suggest that KCa3.1 activation contributes
to dysfunctional tubular autophagy in diabetic nephropathy through PI3K/Akt/mTOR
signaling pathways.
