| Research Abstract |
Glomerulosclerosis is the most common cause of chronic renal failure in aging. It is pathologically characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix in mesangium, of which main component is type IV collagen (Col4). Recently, we identified Smad1 as a direct regulator of Col4 under diabetic condition in vitro. To elucidate the mechanism of glomerulosclerosis in aging, we addressed the role of Smad1 in glomerulosclerosis during diabetes. First, we showed overexpression of Smad1 exacerbates glomerulosclerosis in diabetic mice, and identified bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) as a potent stimulator of Smad1 during diabetes. Now we are checking the role of BMP4 for biological aging process. Id (Inhibitor of differentiation), one of the important transcriptional factors regulated by Smad1, is known to inhibit basic-helix loop helix protein such as E2A, and to regulate cellular senescence. We showed that PIASy, which was also identified as a regulator of cellular senescence, is also a novel E2A binding partner, and enhances its sumoylation as a specific SUMO-E3 ligase, leading to down-regulate phenotypic changes of mesangial cells.
