Glomerular damage is a major cause of renal failure. Recent studies suggest that a ternary protein complex that consists of PINCH-1, integrin-linked kinase, and alpha-parvin, cytoplasmic components of cell-extracellular matrix adhesions, plays pivotal roles in regulation of glomerular cell behavior. It is reported here that TGF-beta1, a key factor in the progression of glomerular failure, regulates the PINCH-1-integrin-linked kinase-alpha-parvin (PIP) complex formation in glomerular podocytes and mesangial cells. Treatment of podocytes with TGF-beta1 inhibited the PIP complex formation. Forced disruption of the PIP complex in podocytes activated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and promoted apoptosis. Importantly, inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, either with a chemical p38 inhibitor (SB202190) or with a dominant negative form of p38alpha, alleviates podocyte apoptosis that is induced by the disruption of the PIP complex. In contrast to an inhibitory role in podocytes, TGF-beta1 promotes the PIP complex formation in mesangial cells. Thus, TGF-beta1 regulates the PIP complex in a cell type-dependent manner. Because the PIP complex promotes glomerular mesangial matrix deposition and protects podocytes from apoptosis, the TGF-beta1-induced up- and downregulation of the PIP complex likely contribute to the pleiotropic effects of TGF-beta1 on different glomerular cell types and hence the progression of glomerular failure.
