Sirtuin-1 attenuates cadmium-induced renal cell senescence through p53 deacetylation

Cadmium (Cd), the common environmental pollutant, primarily targets at renal proximal tubules and induces nephrotoxicity. Cellular senescence, a phenomenon of cell growth arrest and a characteristics of maladaptive cell self-repair, is associated with renal disease progression. However, whether and...

description Cadmium (Cd), the common environmental pollutant, primarily targets at renal proximal tubules and induces nephrotoxicity. Cellular senescence, a phenomenon of cell growth arrest and a characteristics of maladaptive cell self-repair, is associated with renal disease progression. However, whether and how Cd induces renal tubular cells premature senescence is unknown. In our study, we found that Cd induced kidney damage and dysfunctions, which correlated with exacerbated tubular cell senescence, evidenced by increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, the upregulated protein expression of p53 and p21Waf1/Cip1 proteins, and elevated expression and secretion of cytokines in human proximal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells in vitro and in Cd-treated mice in vivo. Moreover, a S-phase arrest and decrease in Edu positive rate were found in Cd-treated HK-2 cells. Mechanistically, Cd suppressed the expression and activity of Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), an anti-senescence deacetylase, resulting in the accumulation of acetylated p53 and upregulation of p21Waf1/Cip1. Activation of SIRT1 significantly abolished Cd-induced premature senescence and S-phase arrest. Finally, silencing p21Waf1/Cip1 efficiently delayed premature senescence and recovered cell cycle progression. These findings indicate that Cd promotes tubular cells senescence and impairs tubular cells regeneration, resulting in kidney dysfunctions, which could be ameliorated by SIRT1 activation.
