摘要


Acute kidney injury (AKI) has a critical role in the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Building on our previous findings, we explored the role of miR-382 in facilitating the transition of AKI to CKD using the Aristolochic acid (AA) nephropathy model, which was induced by intraperitoneal injection of aristolochic acid I salt (10 or 20 mg/kg). The effects of genetic depletion, pharmacologic inhibition, or overexpression of miR-382 on the PTEN/AKT signaling pathway were examined in vivo and in vitro. Changes in renal pathology and renal epithelial polarity were evaluated. A luciferase reporter assay was performed to investigate the reciprocal suppression relationship between miR-382 and PTEN. Renal fibrosis developed 14 d after AA exposure in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Renal abundance of miR-382 was upregulated following AA treatment, while genetic depletion or pharmacological inhibition of miR-382 partially reversed renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Expression of PTEN, a target of miR-382, was downregulated and subsequently its downstream AKT signaling pathway was activated during AKI to CKD transition induced by AA. Inhibition of PTEN in vitro resulted in the acquisition of the EMT phenotypes. Furthermore, upregulation of miR-382 in renal epithelial cells was partially mediated by the activation of NF-kB signaling, with a substantial elevation of proinflammatory cytokines. An in vivo study revealed that either miR-382 knockdown or miR-382 knockout was pivotal for inflammatory suppression, while an in vitro experiment confirmed that upregulation of miR-382 in cultured MTEC cells under AA exposure was remarkably reversed by NF-kB siRNA. These data indicated a novel role for the NF-κB/miR-382/PTEN/AKT axis in the pathogenesis of tubulointerstitial fibrosis following AA-induced acute renal tubular epithelial injury. Targeting miR-382 may lead to a potential novel therapeutic approach for retarding the AKT to CKD transition.
