Polycystin 1 (often abbreviated to PC1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PKD1 gene . Mutations of PKD1 are associated with most cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, a severe hereditary disorder of the kidneys characterised by the development of renal cysts and severe kidney dysfunction .

Application of apigenin in preparation of medicine for treating and/or preventing autosomal dominant hereditary polycystic kidney disease

The invention discloses application of apigenin in preparation of a medicine for treating and/or preventing autosomal dominant hereditary polycystic kidney disease. The application of an MDCK vesiclemodel proves that the apigenin can inhibit the formation and growth of vesicles, the intrarenal pharmacological activity of the apigenin is determined through an embryo kidney vesicle model, and the development of kidney vesicles is remarkably inhibited under the condition that the normal growth of the kidney is not influenced. Finally, in a Pkd1 gene knockout polycystic kidney mouse model, it isfurther proved that the apigenin can effectively inhibit generation and development of the kidney vesicles in the mouse body. The invention also shows that the apigenin has no cytotoxicity and has noobvious influence on kidney cell viability, that is, the vesicle inhibiting effect of the apigenin is irrelevant to cytotoxicity; and meanwhile, the apigenin can inhibit a signal path related to proliferation in kidney cells, and is one of important mechanisms for inhibiting generation and development of the kidney vesicles. The result indicates that the apigenin can be used for treating the autosomal dominant hereditary polycystic kidney disease.

In order to determine epigenetic variations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and functional association therebetween, the present inventors have subjected individuals with polycystic kidney disease and without polycystic kidney disease to analysis through methylation profiling in random fashion of the genome as a whole. Interestingly, in PKD1 and other genes associated with ion transport and cell adhesion, there was hypermethylation in the gene-body region, and the expression of these genes was down-regulated in polycystic kidney disease. In particular, in PKD1, there was hypermethylation in the polycystic kidney disease gene-body region, and this was associated with MBD2 (methyl-CpG-binding domain 2) protein binding. In addition, DNA methylation inhibitor treatment was accompanied by up-regulation of PKD1 expression and caused a delay in cyst formation in MDCK (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney) cells. This therefore demonstrates that, in the present invention, hypermethylation of PKD1 and regulator genes associated with cyst formation plays a decisive role in cyst formation and shows that the present invention can be used in therapeutic applications for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
