Using a mouse model of renal fibrosis and transforming growth factor-β1-stimulated rat cell lines, we show that treatment with FG4592, an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and -2α (HIF-1α/2α) prolyl hydroxylase decreases renal fibrosis and concomitantly reduces methylated lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9) levels via upregulation of Jumonji domain-containing 1a (JMJD1A). The results identify a novel role for the HIF-1α/2α-JMJD1A-H3K9 regulatory axis in suppressing renal fibrosis.
