Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end stage renal disease, posing a severe threat to public health. Previous studies reported the protective role of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in DN, encouraging the investigation of more potent and specific SIRT1 activators. SRT2104 is a novel, first-in-class, highly selective small-molecule activator of SIRT1, with its effect and mechanism unknown on DN. To this end, streptozotocin-induced C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) diabetic mice were treated with SRT2104, for 24 weeks. To determine whether SRT2104 acted through inhibition of P53 - a substrate of SIRT1, the P53 activator nutlin3a was administered to the WT diabetic mice in the presence of SRT2104. In order to test whether nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) - the master of cellular Antioxidants - mediated SIRT1 and P53's actions, WT and Nrf2 gene knockout (KO) diabetic mice were treated with SRT2104 or the P53 inhibitor pifithrin-α (PFT-α). In the WT mice, SRT2104 enhanced renal SIRT1 expression and activity, deacetylated P53, and activated NRF2 antioxidant signaling, providing remarkable protection against the DM-induced renal oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, glomerular remodeling and albuminuria. These effects were completely abolished in the presence of nutlin3a. Deletion of the Nrf2 gene completely abrogated the efficacies of SRT2104 and PFT-α in elevating Antioxidants and ameliorating DN, despite their abilities to activate SIRT1 and inhibit P53 in the Nrf2 KO mice. The present study reports the beneficial effects of SRT2104 on DN, uncovering a SIRT1/P53/NRF2 pathway that modulates the pathogenesis of DN.
