ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We previously reported the significant upregulation of eight circulating exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, their specific roles and molecular mechanisms in the kidney remain unknown. Among the eight miRNAs, we evaluated the effects of miR-5010-5p on renal tubular epithelial cells under diabetic conditions in this study. RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
We transfected the renal tubular epithelial cell line, HK-2, with an miR-5010-5p mimic using recombinant plasmids. The target gene of hsa-miR-5010-5p was identified using a dual-luciferase assay. Cell viability was assessed via the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Moreover, mRNA and protein expression levels were determined via real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively.RESULTS:
High glucose levels did not significantly affect the intracellular expression of miR-5010-5p in HK-2 cells. Transfection of the miR-5010-5p mimic caused no change in cell viability. However, miR-5010-5p-transfected HK-2 cells exhibited significantly decreased expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interleukin-1ß, and tumor necrosis factor-É, under high-glucose conditions. These changes were accompanied by the restored expression of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and decreased phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B. Dual-luciferase assay revealed that miR-5010-5p targeted the gene, protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B delta (PPP2R2D), a subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, which modulates AMPK phosphorylation.CONCLUSIONS:
Our findings suggest that increased miR-5010-5p expression reduces high glucose-induced inflammatory responses in renal tubular epithelial cells via the regulation of the target gene, PPP2R2D, which modulates AMPK phosphorylation. Therefore, miR-5010-5p may be a promising therapeutic target for DKD.Palavras-chave
