Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired AKI. It has been demonstrated that microRNA-30c (miR-30c) was upregulated in the CIAKI. However, the underlying mechanism remain unclear.
The CIAKI was induced in miniature pig. The expression profile of miR-30c in the kidney was evaluated by qPCR. The pathways regulated by miR-30c was identified by qPCR and western blot on renal tubular epithelial cells isolated from miniature pig. Finally, the potential therapeutic application of targeting miR-30c was assessed in the pig model of CIAKI.
The miR-30c was up-regulated in miniature pig with CIAKI. The miR-30c suppressed cell apoptosis, expression of NLRP3, the secretion of IL-1β and caspase-1 p10 on renal cells stimulated by iohexol in vitro. In the pig model, miR-30c inhibited the CIAKI development.
Our data demonstrated that the miR-30c induced by CIAKI could suppress cell apoptosis and kidney injury via targeting NLRP3. Therefore, targeting miR-30c might be a novel therapeutic candidate for CIAKI treatment and prevention.
对比剂诱导的急性肾损伤(CIAKI)是医院获得性急性肾损伤的第三大常见原因。已有研究表明,微小RNA-30c(miR-30c)在CIAKI中表达上调。然而,其潜在机制仍不清楚。
在小型猪中诱导CIAKI。通过qPCR评估肾脏中miR-30c的表达谱。通过对从小型猪分离的肾小管上皮细胞进行qPCR和蛋白质印迹法,确定受miR-30c调控的信号通路。最后,在CIAKI猪模型中评估靶向miR-30c的潜在治疗应用。
CIAKI小型猪中miR-30c上调。在体外,miR-30c抑制了碘海醇刺激的肾细胞的细胞凋亡、NLRP3的表达、IL-1β的分泌和caspase-1 p10。在猪模型中,miR-30c抑制了CIAKI的发展。
我们的数据表明,CIAKI诱导的miR-30c可通过靶向NLRP3抑制细胞凋亡和肾损伤。因此,靶向miR-30c可能是治疗和预防CIAKI的新型候选疗法。
