The antioxidant and DNA-repair enzyme apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 limits the development of tubulointerstitial fibrosis partly by modulating the immune system

Abstract Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) is a multifunctional protein that controls the cellular response to oxidative stress and possesses DNA-repair functions. It has important roles in the progression and outcomes of various diseases; however, its function and therapeutic prospects wi...

In this model, pCAG-APE1 injection did not produce any adverse effects and significantly reduced histological end points including fibrosis, inflammation, tubular injury, and oxidative stress, as compared to those parameters after pCAG-EGFP injection. qPCR analysis showed significantly lower expression of Casp3 and inflammation-related genes in pCAG-APE1-injected animals compared to those in pCAG-EGFP-injected UUO kidneys. RNA-Seq analyses showed that the major transcriptional changes in pCAG-APE1-injected UUO kidneys were related to immune system processes, metabolic processes, catalytic activity, and apoptosis, leading to normal kidney repair.
