Abstract
Inhibition of gene expression by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) relies on their ability to bind complementary mRNA sequences and prevent translation. The proximal tubule is a suitable target for ODN therapy in vivo because circulating ODNs accumulate in the proximal tubule in high concentrations. Because increased proximal tubular transforming growth factor- beta1 (TGF-beta1) expression may mediate diabetic renal hypertrophy, we investigated the effects of antisense TGF-beta1 ODN on the high-glucose-induced proximal tubular epithelial cell hypertrophy in tissue culture and on diabetic renal hypertrophy in vivo. Mouse proximal tubular cells grown in 25 mM D-glucose and exposed to sense ODN as control (1 microM) exhibited increased (3)[H]leucine incorporation by 120% and total TGF-beta1 protein by 50% vs. culture in 5.5 mM D-glucose. Antisense ODN significantly decreased the high-glucose-stimulated TGF-beta1 secretion and leucine incorporation. Continuous infusion for 10 days of ODN (100 microg/day) was achieved via osmotic minipumps in diabetic and nondiabetic mice. Sense ODN-treated streptozotocin-diabetic mice had 15.3% increase in kidney weight, 70% increase in alpha1(IV) collagen and 46% increase in fibronectin mRNA levels compared with nondiabetic mice. Treatment of diabetic mice with antisense ODN partially but significantly decreased kidney TGF-beta1 protein levels and attenuated the increase in kidney weight and the alpha1(IV) collagen and fibronectin mRNAs. In conclusion, therapy with antisense TGF-beta1 ODN decreases TGF-beta1 production and attenuates high-glucose-induced proximal tubular cell hypertrophy in vitro and partially prevents the increase in kidney weight and extracellular matrix expression in diabetic mice.
