Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is associated with increased inflammatory mediator levels. In these studies, we focused on prohibitin 1. We performed western blotting for retinal lysates from diabetic mice and Epac1 floxed and cdh5Cre-Epac1 mice. We also grew primary retinal endothelial cells (REC) in normal (5 mM) and high (25 mM) glucose, and treated some cells with an Epac 1 agonist or prohibitin 1 siRNA. Western blotting was done to confirm knockdown of prohibitin 1 and Epac 1 agonism. We measured the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β), phosphorylated prohibitin 1, phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa beta (NFkB), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in REC after transfection with prohibitin 1 siRNA. Results showed that high glucose increased the inflammatory mediators, as well as HMGB1 and ROS. The levels of ROS, HMGB1, and inflammatory pathways were all reduced after cells were transfected with prohibitin 1 siRNA. Epac1 reduced prohibitin 1 phosphorylation. In conclusion, decreased prohibitin 1 significantly reduced the inflammatory mediator and ROS levels in REC. Epac1 regulates the prohibitin 1 levels in REC.

Abstract
Acute glomerulonephritis is characterized by rapid glomerular neutrophil recruitment, proteinuria, and glomerular hypercellularity. The current study tested the hypothesis that the release of neutrophil granule contents plays a role in both the loss of filtration barrier leading to proteinuria and the increase in glomerular cells. Inhibition of neutrophil exocytosis with a peptide inhibitor prevented proteinuria and attenuated podocyte and endothelial cell injury but had no effect on glomerular hypercellularity in an experimental acute glomerulonephritis model in mice. Cultivation of podocytes with neutrophil granule contents disrupted cytoskeletal organization, an in vitro model for podocyte effacement and loss of filtration barrier. Activated, cultured podocytes released cytokines that stimulated neutrophil chemotaxis, primed respiratory burst activity, and stimulated neutrophil exocytosis. We conclude that crosstalk between podocytes and neutrophils contributes to disruption of the glomerular filtration barrier in acute glomerulonephritis. Neutrophil granule products induce podocyte injury but do not participate in the proliferative response of intrinsic glomerular cells.

ABIN1 Determines Severity of Glomerulonephritis via Activation of Intrinsic Glomerular Inflammation. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2017; 187:2799-2810.

Abstract
Transcription factor NF-κB regulates expression of numerous genes that control inflammation and is activated in glomerular cells in glomerulonephritis (GN). We previously identified genetic variants for a NF-κB regulatory, ubiquitin-binding protein ABIN1 as risk factors for GN in systemic autoimmunity. The goal was to define glomerular inflammatory events controlled by ABIN1 function in GN. Nephrotoxic serum nephritis was induced in wild-type (WT) and ubiquitin-binding deficient ABIN1[D485N] mice, and renal pathophysiology and glomerular inflammatory phenotypes were assessed. Proteinuria was also measured in ABIN1[D485N] mice transplanted with WT mouse bone marrow. Inflammatory activation of ABIN1[D472N] (D485N homolog) cultured human-derived podocytes, and interaction with primary human neutrophils were also assessed. Disruption of ABIN1 function exacerbated proteinuria, podocyte injury, glomerular NF-κB activity, glomerular expression of inflammatory mediators, and glomerular recruitment and retention of neutrophils in antibody-mediated nephritis. Transplantation of WT bone marrow did not prevent the increased proteinuria in ABIN1[D845N] mice. Tumor necrosis factor-stimulated enhanced expression and secretion of NF-κB-targeted proinflammatory mediators in ABIN1[D472N] cultured podocytes compared with WT cells. Supernatants from ABIN1[D472N] podocytes accelerated chemotaxis of human neutrophils, and ABIN1[D472N] podocytes displayed a greater susceptibility to injurious morphologic findings induced by neutrophil granule contents. These studies define a novel role for ABIN1 dysfunction and NF-κB in mediating GN through proinflammatory activation of podocytes.
