Abstract  

To explore biological function of Herpud1 in kidney development, overexpression and knockdown vector of Herpud1 gene were transfected into MK3 cells. And then RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect expression of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker genes E-cadherin (epithelial cells marker), Vimentin and Snail (mesenchymal cell marker) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress marker genes (GRP78 and eIF2α). And cell proliferation and migration were detected by EDU cell proliferation experiment and wound healing assay. Our results showed in experimental group with Herpud1 overexpression, E-cadherin was decreased, and expression of Vimentin and Snail was increased at mRNA and protein levels compared with control group. And ER stress markers GRP78 and eIF2α were enhanced at protein levels in MK3 cells with Herpud1 overexpression. In addition, Herpud1 promoted cell migration and inhibited cell proliferation. In Herpud1 knockdown cells, expression of E-cadherin was enhanced at mRNA and protein levels, and expression of Vimentin, Snail, GRP78 and eIF2α is reduced. At the same time, Herpud1 knockdown inhibited cell migration and enhanced ability of cell proliferation. These results demonstrate Herpud1 can promote EMT of MK3 cells, cell migration and inhibit cell proliferation. The mechanism may be associate with ER stress.
