英文摘要
Project Summary
The mechanisms of cyst formation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remain
incompletely understood and the effective clinical therapies for ADPKD are not available. My long-term
career goal is to establish an independent translational research laboratory, where I will elucidate the
mechanisms of cyst formation and growth, and discover novel therapeutic strategies for ADPKD. This
NIDDK Mentored Research Scientist Development (K01) application proposes a multidisciplinary 5-
year training program to provide the candidate Dr. Xia Zhou with the experience and resources
necessary to launch a successful career. The training plan, developed closely with primary mentor Dr.
Xiaogang Li and co-Mentor Dr. James Calvet will strengthen my previous expertise in the epigenetics
and ADPKD research by advancing my knowledge and technologies related to the study of DNA
methylation and histone acetylation. The very stimulating scientific environment at University of Kansas
Medical Center will not only provide me with the expertise and facilities necessary for successful
completion of this project, but will also prepare me to transition smoothly into an independent faculty
position. The objective of the proposed study is to understand the functional roles of a key epigenetic
regulator, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), in ADPKD. Our preliminary studies indicated that
DNMT1 was upregulated in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells and tissues, and that treatment with
DNMT1 inhibitors, 5-azacytidine and hydralazine, delayed cyst growth in Pkd1 conditional knockout
mice. Our previous study showing that upregulation of SIRT1 contributes to cyst development through
regulating cystic renal epithelial cell proliferation and death in ADPKD animal models suggests a
promising therapeutic strategy for ADPKD treatment by using nicotinamide (vitamin B3). SIRT1 has
been found to deacetylate DNMT1 and increase its methyltransferase activity. Thus, we hypothesize
that upregulation of DNMT1 regulates cystic renal epithelial cell proliferation through STAT3 activation
and regulates apoptosis through p53 signaling, and targeting DNMT1 delays renal cyst growth in vivo in
orthologous murine models of ADPKD, and that DNMT1 synergizes with SIRT1 to regulate cyst growth
in ADPKD, and targeting both SIRT1 and DNMT1 would delay cyst growth further in ADPKD. We will
test this hypothesis with three specific aims. In specific aim 1, we will 1) investigate whether DNMT1
regulates cystic renal epithelial cell proliferation through SHP-1 mediated phosphorylation and
activation of STAT3; and 2) investigate whether DNMT1 regulates apoptosis through the p53
dependent pathway. In specific aim 2, we will 1) test whether knockout of DNMT1 delays renal cyst
growth in Pkd1 knockout mice; and 2) test whether inhibition of DNMT1 with 5-azacytidine or
hydralazine delays renal cyst growth in Pkd1 knockout mouse models. In specific aim 3 we will 1)
investigate whether SIRT1 regulates the activity and stability of DNMT1 in cystic renal epithelial cells;
and 2) investigate whether SIRT1 regulates the methylation status of SHP-1, and whether DNMT1
regulates histone acetylation of SHP-1; and 3) test whether inhibition of both DNMT1 and SIRT1
synergistically delays cyst growth in Pkd1 knockout mice. This is the first study to define the functional
roles of DNMT1 and DNMT1-mediated signaling pathways in cyst development in ADPKD, which will
not only further our understanding of cyst development but also provide a rationale for using DNMT1
inhibitors as a therapy for ADPKD. In addition, this study will reveal the relationship between DNMT1-
mediated methylation and SIRT1-mediated acetylation in regulating cyst development, and will help
promote the development of novel therapeutic approaches targeting both DNMT1 and SIRT1.
