A novel lncRNA XLOC_032768 rescues cisplatin-induced apoptosis of renal tubular cells and acute kidney injury by repressing TNF-α expression in trans-manner [mouse]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The cellular and molecular mechanisms by which cisplatin induces nephrotoxicity have been investigated extensively. However, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity has not been received much attention. Here, we explore the functions and underlying mechanisms of a novel lncRNA XLOC_032768 in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin treatment resulted in the apoptosis of renal epithelial cells in a mouse model and human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). By performing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the transcriptome data, we found the expression of lncRNA XLOC_032768 was significantly repressed by cisplatin treatment, which was also validated by RT-qPCR experiment of in vivo and in vitro model. Overexpression of lncRNA XLOC_032768 significantly inhibited the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of HK-2 and the expression of biomarkers for cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Results from XLOC_032768 overexpression experiment revealed that XLOC_032768 target the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in trans in HK-2 cells and mouse exposed to cisplatin. The administration of lncRNA XLOC_032768 attenuated renal dysfunction, morphological damage, and renal tubular cell injury, which was accompanied by TNF-α preservation, in a mouse model of cisplatin nephrotoxicity. These data indicate that XLOC_032768 suppressed cisplatin-induced apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells and acute kidney injury via a TNF mechanism. LncRNA XLOC_032768 would be a novel agent to reduce cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
