    Abstract One of the first structural changes in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the renal enlargement. These changes resulted in renal hypertrophy in both glomerular and tubular cells. Shrink in the kidney size, which described as kidney atrophy resulted from the loss of nephrons or abnormal nephron function and lead to loss of the kidney function. On the other hand, increase in kidney size, which described as hypertrophy resulted from increase in proximal tubular epithelial and glomerular cells size. However overtime, tubular atrophy and tubulointerstitial fibrosis occurs as subsequent changes in tubular cell hypertrophy, which is associated with the infiltration of fibroblast cells into the tubulointerstitial space. The rate of deterioration of kidney function shows a strong correlation with the degree of tubulointerstitial fibrosis. A consequence of long-standing diabetes/hyperglycemia may lead to major changes in renal structure that occur but not specific only to nephropathy. Identifying type of cells that involves in renal atrophy and hypertrophy may help to find a therapeutic target to treat diabetic nephropathy. In summary, the early changes in diabetic kidney are mainly includes the increase in tubular basement membrane thickening which lead to renal hypertrophy. On the other hand, only renal tubule is subjected to apoptosis, which is one of the characteristic morphologic changes in diabetic kidney to form tubular atrophy at the late stage of diabetes.

    Abstract Innate immunity is critical for immediate recognition and elimination of invading pathogens or defense against cancer cell growth. Dysregulation of innate immune systems is associated with the pathogenesis of different types of inflammatory diseases, including cancer. In addition, the maintenance of innate immune cells' genomic integrity is crucial for the survival of all organisms. Oxidative stress generated from innate immune cells may cause self-inflicted DNA base lesions as well as DNA damage on others neighboring cells, including cancer cells. Oxidative DNA base damage is predominantly repaired by base excision repair (BER). BER process different types of DNA base lesions that are presented in cancer and innate immune cells to maintain genomic integrity. However, mutations in BER genes lead to impaired DNA repair function and cause insufficient genomic integrity. Moreover, several studies have implicated that accumulation of DNA damage leads to chromosomal instability that likely activates the innate immune signaling. Furthermore, dysregulation of BER factors in cancer cells modulate the infiltration of innate immune cells to the tumor microenvironment. In the current review, the role of BER in cancer and innate immune cells and its impact on innate immune signaling within the tumor microenvironment is summarized. This is a special issue that focuses on DNA damage and cancer therapy to demonstrate how BER inhibitor or aberrant repair modulates innate inflammatory response and impact immunotherapy approaches. Overall, the review provides substantial evidence to understand the impact of BER in innate immune response dynamics within the current immune-based therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract The role of tumor protein 63 (TP63) in regulating insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and other downstream signal proteins in diabetes has not been characterized. RNAs extracted from kidneys of diabetic mice (db/db) were sequenced to identify genes that are involved in kidney complications. RNA sequence analysis showed more than 4- to 6-fold increases in TP63 expression in the diabetic mice's kidneys, compared to wild-type mice at age 10 and 12 months old. In addition, the kidneys from diabetic mice showed significant increases in TP63 mRNA and protein expression compared to WT mice. Mouse proximal tubular cells exposed to high glucose (HG) for 48 h showed significant decreases in IRS-1 expression and increases in TP63, compared to cells grown in normal glucose (NG). When TP63 was downregulated by siRNA, significant increases in IRS-1 and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK (p-AMPK-Th

    Abstract Apoptosis contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy, but the mechanism by which high glucose induces apoptosis is not fully understood. Apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells is a major feature of diabetic kidney disease, and hyperglycemia triggers the generation of free radicals and oxidant stress in tubular cells. Hyperglycemia and high glucose in vitro also lead to apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death. High glucose similar to those seen with hyperglycemia in people with diabetes mellitus, lead to accelerated apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death characterized by cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation, in variety of cell types, including renal proximal tubular epithelial cells.

    Abstract Abstract Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in tissue fibrosis following chronic exposure to hyperglycemia. This study investigates the role of chronic diabetes in regulating tuberin/snail/AMPK to enhance EMT and increase renal fibrosis. A new mouse model of db/db/TSC2+/− was generated by backcrossing db/db mice and TSC2+/− mice. Wild type (WT), db/db, TSC2+/− and dbdb/TSC2+/− mice were sacrificed at ages 6 and 8 months old. Tuberin protein level was significantly decreased in kidneys from diabetic compared to WT mice at both ages. In addition, tuberin and E‐cadherin protein levels were significantly decreased in dbdb/TSC2+/− compared to TSC2+/− and db/db mice. In contrast, p‐PS6K, NFkB, snail, vimentin, fibronectin, and α‐SMA protein levels were significantly increased in dbdb/TSC2+/− compared to db/db and TSC2+/− mice at ages 6 and 8 months. Both downregulation of AMPK by DN‐AMPK and downregulation of tuberin by siRNA resulted in increased NFkB, snail, and fibronectin protein expression and decreased E‐cadherin protein expression in mouse primary renal proximal tubular cells. Interestingly, downregulation of snail by siRNA increased tuberin expression via feedback through activation of AMPK and reversed the expression of epithelial proteins such as E‐cadherin as well as mesenchymal proteins such as fibronectin, NF‐KB, vimentin, and α‐SMA in mouse primary renal proximal tubular cells isolated from kidneys of four mice genotypes. The data show that chronic diabetes significantly decreases tuberin expression and that provides strong evidence that tuberin is a major key protein involved in regulating EMT. These data also demonstrated a novel role for snail in regulating of AMPK/tuberin to enhance EMT and renal cell fibrosis in diabetes.

    Abstract Renal hypertrophy, matrix protein accumulation and tubulointerstitial fibrosis are major pathological features of diabetic nephropathy (DN) that eventuate in renal failure. Hyperglycemia and high concentration of glucose increase matrix protein expression, but the pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. We have previously reported that inactivation of tuberin resulting in activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and increased matrix protein accumulation in cultured proximal tubular cells exposed to high glucose and in kidney cortex of rats with type 1 diabetes. In this report, we show that kidney sections of diabetic patients express higher levels of phospho-tuberin (inactive form of tuberin), and that is associated with an increase in mTOR activation as measured by phosphorylation level of p70S6K. Inactivation of tuberin and activation of mTOR lead to accumulated cell matrix proteins (fibronectin and collagen IV) mainly in tubular epithelial cells of the kidneys of diabetic patients. In addition, significant staining of vimentin as a marker of cells undergoing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was detected in kidney sections of diabetic patients. On the other hand, very weak or nondetectable staining of cell matrix proteins, p-tuberin and P-p70S6K as well as vimentin was found in normal kidney sections of healthy subjects. The morphological changes in kidney sections of diabetic patients showed tubular thickening, glomerular and tubular hypertrophy, compared to normal structure of tubuli and glomeruli in kidney from healthy control subjects. These data suggest that alterations in tubular cells' structure, including tubular thickening and hypertrophy, are major mediators of the fibrotic process in DN.
