To explore effect and mechanism of microRNA 142a-3p (miR-142a-3p) on adriamycin-induced nephropathy (AN).
BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group and model group. The model group was injected with 10.5 mg·kg-1 doxorubicin at a time through the tail vein, and the normal group was injected with equal volume 0.9% NaCl by the same method. After 28 days of feeding, both sides of the kidney tissues were taken for experiment. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-142a-3p in the renal tissues. The expression levels of autophagy related protein 16-like protein 1 (Atg16l1) and inflammatory NOD-like receptor heat protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the renal tissues were detected by Western blotting. Human embryonic kidney 293T cells were divided into Atg16l1-WT+NC transfection group (transfected pmirGLO-Atg16l1-WT and NC mimics) and Atg16l1-WT+miRNA-142a-3p group (transfected pmirGLO-Atg16l1-WT and miR-142a-3p mimics). Dual luciferase assay was used to detect the targeted regulation of miR-142a-3p on Atg16l1.
The expression levels of miR-142a-3p in kidney tissues of normal group and model group were 1.20±0.27 and 2.02±0.14; the expression levels of Atg16l1 were 0.81±0.13 and 0.57±0.12, NLRP3 were 0.49±0.11 and 0.82±0.14; IL-1β were 0.55±0.11 and 0.84±0.08; IL-18 levels were 0.41±0.15 and 0.74±0.09, respectively, and the above indexes in the model group were significantly different from those in the normal group (all P<0.05). The relative luciferase activity in Atg16l1-WT+NC transfection group and Atg16l1-WT+miRNA-142a-3p transfection group were 1.26±0.07 and 0.92±0.10, respectively, with statistical significance (all P<0.05).
MiR-142a-3p down-regulates the expression of target protein Atg16l1 in renal tissue of adriamycin nephropathy mice, which activates NLRP3 pathway of inflammatory bodies and promotes the progressive development of adriamycin-induced nephropathy.
