Dock5 Deficiency Promotes Proteinuric Kidney Diseases via Modulating Podocyte Lipid Metabolism
Podocytes are particularly sensitive to lipid accumulation, which has recently emerged as a crucial pathological process in the progression of proteinuric kidney diseases like diabetic kidney disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, podocytes predominantly expressed protein dedicator of cytokinesis 5 (Dock5) is screened to be critically related to podocyte lipid lipotoxicity. Its expression is reduced in both proteinuric kidney disease patients and mouse models. Podocyte‐specific deficiency of Dock5 exacerbated podocyte injury and glomeruli pathology in proteinuric kidney disease, which is mainly through modulating fatty acid uptake by the liver X receptor α (LXRα)/scavenger receptor class B (CD36) signaling pathway. Specifically, Dock5 deficiency enhanced CD36‐mediated fatty acid uptake of podocytes via upregulating LXRα in an m6A‐dependent way. Moreover, the rescue of Dock5 expression ameliorated podocyte injury and proteinuric kidney disease. Thus, the findings suggest that Dock5 deficiency is a critical contributor to podocyte lipotoxicity and may serve as a promising therapeutic target in proteinuric kidney diseases.
