PG - 109 LID - 10.1208/s12248-022-00758-2 [doi] AB - Megalin and cubilin, endocytic proteins present in the proximal tubule of the kidney, are responsible for reabsorbing filtered proteins from urine. Our hypothesis was that potential substrates of megalin/cubilin could be identified by examining urinary protein differences between control (WT) mice and kidney-specific megalin knockdown (KD) mice. Using the IonStar proteomics approach, 877 potential megalin/cubilin substrates were discovered, with 23 of these compounds representing known megalin/cubilin substrates. Some of the proteins with the largest fold changes in the urine between KD and WT included the known megalin substrates retinol-binding protein and vitamin D-binding protein. Of the total proteins identified as novel substrates, about three-quarters of compounds had molecular weights (MWs) below 69 kDa, the MW of albumin, and the remaining had higher MWs, with about 5% of the proteins having MWs greater than 150 kDa. Sex differences in the number of identified substrates occurred, but this may be due to differences in kidney megalin expression between both male and female megalin KD and WT animals, with the ratio of megalin between WT and KD being 2.76 and 2.14 for female and male mice, respectively. The top three ingenuity canonical pathways based on the urinary proteins in both female and male KD mice were acute phase response signaling, liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor activation, and intrinsic prothrombin activation pathways. In conclusion, analysis of urine samples from kidney-specific megalin KD and WT mice was found to be useful for the identification of potential endogenous substrates for megalin and cubilin.
