RESUMO

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious kidney disease resulted from diabetes. Dys-regulated proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in mesangial cells contribute to DN progression. In this study, we tested expression level of MIAT in DN patients and mesangial cells treated by high glucose (HG). Up-regulation of MIAT was observed in DN. Then, functional assays displayed that silence of MIAT by siRNA significantly repressed the proliferation and cycle progression in mesangial cells induced by HG. Meanwhile, we found that collagen IV, fibronectin and TGF-ß1 protein expression was obviously triggered by HG, which could be rescued by loss of MIAT. Then, further assessment indicated that MIAT served as sponge harbouring miR-147a. Moreover, miR-147a was decreased in DN, which exhibited an antagonistic effect of MIAT on modulating mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis displayed that E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3) could act as direct target of miR-147a. We demonstrated that E2F3 was greatly increased in DN and the direct binding association between miR-147a and E2F3 was evidenced using luciferase reporter assay. In summary, our data explored the underlying mechanism of DN pathogenesis validated that MIAT induced mesangial cell proliferation and fibrosis via sponging miR-147a and regulating E2F3.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Yiqi Peiyuan (YQPY) prescription, a composite prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to prevent or delay the continued deterioration of renal function after acute kidney injury (AKI) in some institutions and has shown considerable efficacy. OBJECTIVE: This is the first randomized controlled trial to assess efficacy and safety of YQPY for improving short-term prognosis in adult patients with AKI. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS: This is a prospective, double-blind, multicenter, randomized, and placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 144 enrolled participants were randomly allocated to two groups according to a randomization schedule. Participants, caregivers and investigators assessing the outcomes were blinded to group assignment. Patients in the YQPY group received 36 g YQPY granules twice a day for 28 days. Patients in the placebo group received a placebo in the same dose as the YQPY granules. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between baseline and after 4 and 24 weeks of treatment. The secondary outcomes were the change of serum creatinine (Scr) level between baseline and after treatment, and the incidence of endpoint events, defined as eGFR increasing by more than 25% above baseline, eGFR >75 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or the composite endpoint, which was defined as the sum of patients meeting either of the above criteria. RESULTS: Data from a total of 114 patients (59 in the YQPY group and 55 in the control group) were analyzed. The mean changes in eGFR and Scr in weeks 4 and 24 had no difference between the two groups. In further subgroup analysis (22 in the YQPY group and 31 in the control group), the mean change in eGFR after treatment for 4 weeks was 27.39 mL/min per 1.73 m2 in the YQPY group and 5.78 mL/min per 1.73 m2 in the placebo group, and the mean difference between groups was 21.61 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (P < 0.001). Thirteen (59.1%) patients in the YQPY group and 5 (16.1%) in the placebo group reached the composite endpoints (P = 0.002). During the intervention, 2 and 4 severe adverse events were reported in the YQPY and placebo groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: The YQPY granules can effectively improve the renal function of patients 4 weeks after the onset of AKI, indicating that it has good efficacy for improving short-term renal outcomes in patients with AKI. The YQPY granules may be a promising therapy for adults with AKI. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2100051723.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of Astragalous Injection on oxidative stress and micro-inflammatory status in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS: Sixty MHD patients were included and randomized into treatment group and control group, with another 10 healthy volunteers as normal control. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Astragalous Injection and the patients in the control group were treated with normal saline for 12 weeks. A spectrophotometric method was used for the measurement of plasma concentrations of oxidative parameters including advanced glycation end products (AGEs), advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA) and vitamin E (Vit E). The content of C-reactive protein (CRP) was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the plasma levels of AGEs, AOPP, MDA and CRP were significantly increased, while plasma level of Vit E was significantly decreased in MHD patients ( P<0.01). After Astragalous Injection treatment, the plasma levels of AGEs, AOPP, MDA and CRP were decreased as compared with the control group ( P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in plasma Vit E level between the treatment group and control group. CONCLUSION: There exist oxidative stress and micro-inflammation in MHD patients. Astragalous Injection can ameliorate the accumulation of oxidative products and micro-inflammatory status, but it has no significant effect on plasma Vit E level.
