摘要
Increasing evidence implicates chronic inflammation as the main pathological cause of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Exploration of key targets in the inflammatory pathway may provide new treatment options for DN. Here, we aim to investigate the role of Src Homology 2 Containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 2 (SHP2) in macrophages and its association with DN. The upregulated phosphorylation of SHP2 was detected in macrophages of both diabetic patients and mouse model. Using the macrophage-specific SHP2 knockout mice (SHP2-MKO) and SHP2fl/fl mice injected with streptozotocin (STZ), we showed that SHP2-MKO significantly attenuated renal dysfunction, collagen deposition, fibrosis, and inflammatory response in STZ-induced diabetic mice. RNA-sequencing analysis using primary mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) showed that SHP2 deletion mainly affects mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) signaling pathway and MAPKs/NF-ĸB-dependent inflammatory cytokine release in MPMs. Further study indicated that SHP2-deficient macrophages failed to release cytokines that induce phenotype transition and fibrosis in renal cells. Administration with a pharmacological SHP2 inhibitor, SHP099, remarkably protected kidneys in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic mice. In conclusion, these results identify macrophage SHP2 as a new accelerator of DN and suggest that SHP2 inhibition may be a therapeutic option for DN patients.
