Discovery of PRDM16-Mediated TRPA1 Induction as the Mechanism for Low Tubulo-Interstitial Fibrosis in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) involves pathological changes in both tubulo-interstitium and the glomerulus. Surprisingly, tubulo-interstitial fibrosis (TIF), does not develop significantly until the late stage of DKD. Here, it is demonstrated that PR domain-containing 16 (PRDM16) is a key to the low level of TIF in DKD. In the experiments, PRDM16 is upregulated in high glucose-treated renal tubular cells, DKD mouse kidneys, and renal biopsy of human DKD patients via activation of NF-κB signal pathway. High glucose-induced expression of fibrotic proteins in renal tubular cells is suppressed by PRDM16. Mechanistically, PRDM16 bound to the promotor region of Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) to transactivate its expression and then suppressed MAPK (P38, ERK1/2) activation and downstream expression of TGF-β1. Knockout of PRDM16 from kidney proximal tubules in mice blocked TRPA1 expression and enhanced MAPK activation, TGF-β1 production, TIF development, and DKD progression, whereas knock-in of PRDM16 has opposite effects. In addition, overexpression of PRDM16 or its induction by formononetin ameliorated renal dysfunction and fibrosis in db/db diabetic mice. Finally, the above finding are detected in renal biopsies of DKD patients. Together, these results unveil PRDM16/TRPA1 as the mechanism responsible for the low level of TIF in the early stage of DKD by suppressing and TGF-β1 expression.
