Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a methyltransferase that induces histone H3
lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and functions as an oncogenic factor in many
cancer types. However, the role of EZH2 in renal fibrogenesis remains unexplored.
In this study, we found high expression of EZH2 and H3K27me3 in cultured renal
fibroblasts and fibrotic kidneys from mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction
and humans with CKD. Pharmacologic inhibition of EZH2 with 3-deazaneplanocin A
(3-DZNeP) or GSK126 or siRNA-mediated silencing of EZH2 inhibited serum- and
TGF?1-induced activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts in vitro, and 3-DZNeP
administration abrogated deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and
expression of ?-smooth muscle actin in the obstructed kidney. Injury to the
kidney enhanced Smad7 degradation, Smad3 phosphorylation, and TGF? receptor 1
expression, and 3-DZNeP administration prevented these effects. 3-DZNeP also
suppressed phosphorylation of the renal EGF and PDGF? receptors and downstream
signaling molecules signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and
extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 after injury. Moreover, EZH2 inhibition
increased the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), a protein
previously associated with dephosphorylation of tyrosine kinase receptors in the
injured kidney and serum-stimulated renal interstitial fibroblasts. Finally,
blocking PTEN with SF1670 largely diminished the inhibitory effect of 3-DZNeP on
renal myofibroblast activation. These results uncovered the important role of
EZH2 in mediating the development of renal fibrosis by downregulating expression
of Smad7 and PTEN, thus activating profibrotic signaling pathways. Targeted
inhibition of EZH2, therefore, could be a novel therapy for treating CKD.
