ABSTRACT

Background:

Nuclear receptor binding protein 1 (NRBP1) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) was the gout risk gene and high-capacity urate exporter respectively. However, the relationship between NRBP1 and ABCG2 and the underlying molecular mechanism contributing to these associations are unknown.

Methods:

Firstly, the efficiency of the overexpression and knockdown of NRBP1 was confirmed by western blot. Next, the effect of NRBP1 overexpression and knockdown on the expression of ABCG2, organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) and urate transporter 1 (URAT1) was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. At the same time, the cellular location of ABCG2 and its expression after NRBP1 overexpression and knockdown was tested by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Then, the mechanism of NRBP1 modulates ABCG2 expression was evaluated by western blot with or without the β-catenin inhibitor (21H7).

Results:

The lentivirus system was used to generate stable NRBP1 overexpression, while the plasmids carrying a NRBP1 siRNA was generated to knockdown NRBP1 expression in HK-2 cells. Meanwhile, the overexpression of NRBP1 significantly decreased the mRNAs and proteins expression of GLUT9 and URAT1, while the knockdown of NRBP1 increased the mRNAs and proteins expression of ABCG2 significantly. In addition, the NRBP1 modulates the expression of ABCG2 was by ctivating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in HK-2 cells according to the IF and western blot results.

Conclusion:

Taken together, our study demonstrated that NRBP1 inhibition played an essential role in attenuating hyperuricemia and gout by upregulation of ABCG2 via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in HK-2 cells. (AU)
RESUMEN
Antecedentes La proteína de unión al receptor nuclear 1 (NRBP1) y el miembro G de la subclase ATP binding Box 2 (ABCG2) son los genes de riesgo de gota y los genes de salida de urato de alto rendimiento, respectivamente. Sin embargo, se desconoce la relación entre NRBP1 y ABCG2, y los posibles mecanismos moleculares que conducen a estas asociaciones.

Métodos:

En primer lugar, la sobreexpresión y el knockout de NRBP1 fueron confirmados por Western-blot. Los efectos de la sobreexpresión y knockout de NRBP1 en la expresión de ABCG2, transportador de aniones orgánicos 1 (OAT1), transportador de glucosa 9 (GLUT9) y transportador de ácido úrico 1 (URAT1) fueron detectados por qRT-PCR y Western-blot. Mientras tanto, la localización y expresión de ABCG2 después de la sobreexpresión y knockout de NRBP1 fueron detectadas por inmunofluorescencia (IF). Luego, el efecto regulador de NRBP1 sobre la expresión de ABCG2 fue estudiado por Western-blot y comparado con el inhibidor de la β-catenina (21H7).

Resultados:

El sistema lentiviral indujo una sobreexpresión estable de NRBP1, mientras que el plásmido portador de SiRNA NRBP1 inhibió la expresión de NRBP1 en las células HK-2. Mientras tanto, la sobreexpresión de NRBP1 redujo significativamente la expresión de ARNm y proteínas de GLUT9 y URAT1, mientras que el knockout de NRBP1 aumentó significativamente la expresión de ARNm y proteínas de ABCG2. Además, de acuerdo con los resultados de IF y Western-blot, NRBP1 regula la expresión de ABCG2 activando la vía Wnt/β-catenina en las células HK-2.

Conclusión:

La inhibición del NRBP1 aumenta la regulación de ABCG2 a través de la vía de señalización Wnt/β-catenina, que desempeña un papel importante en la reducción de la hiperuricemia y la gota. (AU)
