Renovascular disease induces functionally relevant, locus-specific alterations to DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation in swine scattered tubular-like cells
Scattered tubular-like cells (STCs) are dedifferentiated renal tubular cells that repair other damaged kidney cells. This study shows that renovascular disease (RVD) induces site-specific 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) modifications in DNA associated with transcriptional changes and impaired proliferative capacity of swine STCs, which could be mitigated in RVD-STCs treated with an epigenetic modulator. Therefore, our observations may contribute to the development of novel approaches to preserve the reparative capacity of STCs in individuals with RVD.
