MiR-146a is essential for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cross-tolerance against kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA-146a is one of most important microRNAs involved in development of endotoxin tolerance via (toll-like receptors) TLRs/ NF-?B pathway. In this study, we sought to identify the mechanistic role of miR-146a in mediating the protective effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pretreatment on kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury. A locked nucleic acid-modified anti-miR-146a given before LPS treatment knocked down miR-146a expression and completely negated LPS-mediated protection against kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury. Knockdown of miR-146a resulted in significantly higher histopathological scores for tubular damage, expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. Furthermore, knockdown of miR-146a greatly up-regulated the protein levels of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK-1) and tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which are known target genes of miR-146a, leading to activation of NF-?B. Finally, elevation of nuclear translocation of NF-?B p65/p50 and caspase-3 expression, degradation of cytosolic IkB? and BcL-xL, and substantially exacerbation of tubular cell apoptosis were inversely correlated with miR-146a expression. Taken together, our results identify that miR146a exerts a kidney protective effect through negative regulation of acute inflammatory response by suppressing NF-?B activation and proinflammatory genes expression.

Project description:BackgroundKidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is an independent risk factor for delayed graft function after kidney transplantation with long-term graft survival deterioration. Previously, we found that the upregulated expression of miR-17-5p exerts a protective effect in kidney I/R injury, but the mechanism has not been clearly studied.MethodsA kidney I/R injury model was induced in adult C57BL/6 male mice (20-22 g) by clamping both kidney pedicles for 30 min. The miR-17-5p agomir complex was injected into mice 24 h before surgery via the tail vein at a total injection volume of 10 µL/g body weight. The mice were euthanized on post-I/R injury day 2, and kidney function, apoptosis, autophagy, and related molecules were then detected. Human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells, which underwent hypoxia/reoxygenation, were treated with the miR-17-5p agomir, miR-17-5p antagomir, and small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs). Cell viability, apoptosis, autophagy, and molecules were also examined.ResultsAutophagy, miR-17-5p expression, and kidney function damage were significantly more increased in the I/R group than in the sham group. In the cultured HK-2 cells underwent hypoxia/reoxygenation, the miR-17-5p agomir directly inhibited the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and Bcl-2 like protein 11 (BIM), and attenuated apoptosis and autophagy. Further, miR-17-5p inhibited autophagy by activating the protein kinase B (Akt)/Beclin1 pathway, which was suppressed by siRNAs. Additionally, the administration of miR-17-5p agomir greatly improved kidney function in the I/R mice group by inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis.ConclusionsThese findings suggest a new possible therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of kidney I/R injury. The upregulation of miR-17-5p expression appears to inhibit apoptosis and autophagy by suppressing PTEN and BIM expression, which in turn upregulates downstream Akt/Beclin1 expression.
