The role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in renal diseases is largely unknown. Here, we characterized the N6-adenosine-methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), whose expression elevated tubules different acute kidney injury (AKI) models as well human biopsies and cultured tubular epithelial cells (TECs). METTL3 silencing alleviated inflammation programmed cell death TECs response to stimulation by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cisplatin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), whereas...
Rationale: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute kidney (AKI) that associated with high morbidity and mortality, for which specific treatments are lacking. In this study, we investigated the protective effect human urine-derived stem cells (USCs) their exosomes against IRI-induced AKI to explore potential these as new therapeutic strategy. Methods: USCs were derived from fresh urine. Cell surface marker expression was analyzed by flow cytometry determine characteristics...
Despite increasing evidence that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) widely take part in human diseases, the role of lncRNAs systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is largely unknown. In this study, we performed a two-stage study to explore plasma levels five (GAS5, linc0949, linc0597, HOTAIRM1 and lnc-DC) their potential as SLE biomarkers. Compared with healthy controls, GAS5 lnc-DC were significantly decreased (P < 0.001 P = 0.002, respectively) while linc0597 overexpressed patients 0.001). When...
Rationale: TGF-β/Smad signaling is the central mediator for renal fibrosis, however, its functional role in acute kidney injury (AKI) not fully understood. We previously showed Smad2 protects against fibrosis by limiting Smad3 signaling, but details on phase are unclear. Recent evidence that TGF-β/Smad3 may be involved pathogenesis of AKI, so we hypothesized play certain roles AKI due to potential effect programmed cell death. Methods: established a cisplatin-induced mouse model with TGF-β...

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a destructive clinical condition induced by multiple insults including ischemic reperfusion, nephrotoxic drugs and sepsis. It characterized sudden decline in renal function, addition to excessive inflammation, oxidative stress programmed cell death of tubular epithelial cells. RIPK1-mediated necroptosis plays an important role AKI. In the present study, we evaluated treatment effects Compound-71 (Cpd-71), novel RIPK1 inhibitor, comparing with...
The present study aimed to examine the expression and function of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1)/microRNA (miR)-146a/nuclear factor (NF)-κB axis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). mRNA levels MALAT1 miR-146a AKI tissues cells were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. NF-κB pathway proteins cell viability assessed western blot analysis MTT method, respectively. secretion inflammatory...
Abstract Background Osteosarcoma is one of the most prevalent primary bone tumours in adolescents. Accumulating evidence shows that aberrant expression long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NEAT1 and microRNA-483 (miR-483) contribute to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion metastasis tumour cells. However, potential regulatory effects miR-483 on EMT osteosarcoma remain elusive. Methods The NEAT1, miR-483, signal transducer activator transcription-1 (STAT1), STAT3, EMT-associated markers...
