Novel signaling roles for C-peptide have recently been discovered with evidence
that it can ameliorate complications of type 1 diabetes. Here we sought to
identify new pathways regulated by C-peptide of relevance to the pathophysiology
of diabetic nephropathy. Microarray analysis was performed to identify genes
regulated by either C-peptide and/or TGF-beta1 in a human proximal tubular cell
line, HK-2. Expression of retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta), hepatocyte
growth factor (HGF), cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II (CRABPII),
vimentin, E-cadherin, Snail, and beta-catenin was assessed by immunoblotting. The
cellular localization of vimentin and beta-catenin was determined by
immunocytochemistry. Changes in cell morphology were assessed by phase contrast
microscopy. Gene expression profiling demonstrated differential expression of 953
and 1458 genes after C-peptide exposure for 18 h or 48 h, respectively. From
these, members of the antifibrotic retinoic acid (RA)- and HGF-signaling pathways
were selected. Immunoblotting demonstrated that C-peptide increased RARbeta,
CRABPII, and HGF. We confirmed a role for RA in reversal of TGF-beta1-induced
changes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition, including expression
changes in Snail, E-cadherin, vimetin, and redistribution of beta-catenin.
Importantly, these TGF-beta1-induced changes were inhibited by C-peptide.
Further, effects of TGF-beta1 on Snail and E-cadherin expression were blocked by
HGF, and inhibitory effects of C-peptide were removed by blockade of HGF
activity. This study identifies a novel role for HGF as an effector of C-peptide,
possibly via an RA-signaling pathway, highlighting C-peptide as a potential
therapy for diabetic nephropathy.
