Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have critical roles in the development of many diseases including kidney disease. An increasing number of studies have shown that lncRNAs are involved in kidney development and that their dysregulation can result in distinct disease processes, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and renal cell carcinoma. Understanding the roles of lncRNAs in kidney disease may provide new diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities in the clinic. This review provides an overview of lncRNA characteristics, and biological function and discusses specific studies that provide insight into the function and potential application of lncRNAs in kidney disease treatment.

Inhibition of MiR-106b-5p mediated by exosomes mitigates acute kidney injury by modulating transmissible endoplasmic reticulum stress and M1 macrophage polarization. J Cell Mol Med 2023; 27:2876-2889. [PMID: 37471571 PMCID: PMC10538271 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), mainly caused by Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), is a common and severe life-threatening disease with high mortality. Accumulating evidence suggested a direct relationship between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and AKI progression. However, the role of the transmissible ER stress response, a new modulator of cell-to-cell communication, in influencing intercellular communication between renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and macrophages in the AKI microenvironment remains to be determined. To address this issue, we first demonstrate that TECs undergoing ER stress are able to transmit ER stress to macrophages via exosomes, promoting macrophage polarization towards the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in vitro and in vivo. Besides, the miR-106b-5p/ATL3 signalling axis plays a pivotal role in the transmission of ER stress in the intercellular crosstalk between TECs and macrophages. We observed an apparent increase in the expression of miR-106b-5p in ER-stressed TECs. Furthermore, we confirmed that ALT3 is a potential target protein of miR-106b-5p. Notably, the inhibition of miR-106b-5p expression in macrophages not only restores ATL3 protein level but also decreases transmissible ER stress and hinders M1 polarization, thus alleviating AKI progression. Additionally, our results suggest that the level of exosomal miR-106b-5p in urine is closely correlated with the severity of AKI patients. Taken together, our study sheds new light on the crucial role of transmissible ER stress in the treatment of AKI through the regulation of the miR-106b-5p/ATL3 axis, offering new ideas for treating AKI.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a large, heterogeneous class of transcripts and key regulators of gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in different cellular contexts and biological processes. Understanding the potential mechanisms of action of lncRNAs and their role in disease onset and development may open up new possibilities for therapeutic approaches in the future. LncRNAs also play an important role in renal pathogenesis. However, little is known about lncRNAs that are expressed in the healthy kidney and that are involved in renal cell homeostasis and development, and even less is known about lncRNAs involved in human adult renal stem/progenitor cells (ARPC) homeostasis. Here we give a thorough overview of the biogenesis, degradation, and functions of lncRNAs and highlight our current understanding of their functional roles in kidney diseases. We also discuss how lncRNAs regulate stem cell biology, focusing finally on their role in human adult renal stem/progenitor cells, in which the lncRNA HOTAIR prevents them from becoming senescent and supports these cells to secrete high quantities of α-Klotho, an anti-aging protein capable of influencing the surrounding tissues and therefore modulating the renal aging.

Long noncoding RNA HOXA-AS2 ameliorates chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced lung inflammation by regulating miR-17-5p/tipe2 axis. Allergol Immunopathol (Madr) 2023; 51:36-44. [PMID: 36916086 DOI: 10.15586/aei.v51i2.701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose is to confirm whether long noncoding RNA HOXA-AS2 relieves chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced lung inflammation. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats were used to establisha CIH rat model. Hematoxylin and Eosin staining was used on the lung tissue injury to determine the successful construction of CIH animal model. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were measured. HOXA-AS2 was overexpressed to evaluate its role in the progression and development of CIH. T cell differentiation and cytokine production were determined using flow cytometry. Cell apoptosis was determined using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling assay kit. The target of HOXA-AS2 and miR-17-5p was predicted by the Encyclopedia of RNA Interactomes (ENCORI) and confirmed using luciferase assay. RESULTS HOXA-AS2 was downregulated in CIH rat models. Lung tissue injury was observed in CIH rats, and the injury was attenuated by the overexpression of HOXA-AS2. PaO2 was reduced and PaCO2 was induced in CIH rats, which was reversed by the overexpression of HOXA-AS2. The overexpression of HOXA-AS2 inhibited CIH-induced cell apoptosis. It also reversed alterations in the levels of interferon gamma (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-β1) in rats caused by CIH. The overexpression of HOXA-AS2 prevented the induction in CD4+ IFN-γ+ T cells and reduction in CD4+TGF-β1+ T cells. The overexpression of HOXA-AS2 upregulated tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 (tipe2) key regulator through directly targeting miR-17-5p. Further experiments proved that tipe2 was the direct target of miR-17-5p. CONCLUSION This study manifested that HOXA-AS2 acted as an anti-inflammatory regulator and protected lung tissue injury from CIH in the rat model; this was mediated by upregulation of tipe2 through directly targeting miR-17-5p. HOXA-AS2 upregulated the expression of tipe2, providing new understanding and therapeutic target for CIH.

Abstract
The most extensively and well-investigated sequences in the human genome are protein-coding genes, while large numbers of non-coding sequences exist in the human body and are even more diverse with more potential roles than coding sequences. With the unveiling of non-coding RNA research, long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of transcripts >200 nucleotides in length primarily expressed in the nucleus and rarely in the cytoplasm, have drawn our attention. LncRNAs are involved in various levels of gene regulatory processes, including but not limited to promoter activity, epigenetics, translation and transcription efficiency, and intracellular transport. They are also dysregulated in various pathophysiological processes, especially in diseases and cancers involving genomic imprinting. In recent years, numerous studies have linked lncRNAs to the pathophysiology of various kidney diseases. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms involved in lncRNAs, their impact on kidney diseases, and associated complications, as well as the value of lncRNAs as emerging biomarkers for the prevention and prognosis of kidney diseases, suggesting their potential as new therapeutic tools.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by degrading or repressing the translation of their target messenger RNAs. As miRNAs are critical regulators of cellular homeostasis, their dysregulation is a crucial component of cell and organ injury. A substantial body of evidence indicates that miRNAs are involved in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease and allograft damage. Different subsets of miRNAs are dysregulated during AKI, chronic kidney disease and allograft rejection, which could reflect differences in the physiopathology of these conditions. miRNAs that have been investigated in AKI include miR-21, which has an anti-apoptotic role, and miR-214 and miR-668, which regulate mitochondrial dynamics. Various miRNAs are downregulated in diabetic kidney disease, including the miR-30 family and miR-146a, which protect against inflammation and fibrosis. Other miRNAs such as miR-193 and miR-92a induce podocyte dedifferentiation in glomerulonephritis. In transplantation, miRNAs have been implicated in allograft rejection and injury. Further work is needed to identify and validate miRNAs as biomarkers of graft function and of kidney disease development and progression. Use of combinations of miRNAs together with other molecular markers could potentially improve diagnostic or predictive power and facilitate clinical translation. In addition, targeting specific miRNAs at different stages of disease could be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Acute renal injury (AKI) is a complex clinical syndrome, involving a series of pathophysiological processes, in which inflammation plays a key role. Identification and verification of gene signatures associated with inflammatory onset and progression are imperative for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in AKI pathogenesis. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), involved in epigenetic modifications of inflammatory responses, are associated with the aberrant expression of inflammation-related genes in AKI. However, its regulatory role in gene expression involves precise transcriptional regulation mechanisms which have not been fully elucidated in the complex and volatile inflammatory response of AKI. In this study, we systematically review current research on the intrinsic molecular mechanisms of ncRNAs that regulate the inflammatory response in AKI. We aim to provide potential research directions and strategies for developing ncRNA-targeted gene therapies as an intervention for the inflammatory damage in AKI.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response caused by a severe infection that leads to multiple organ damage, including acute kidney injury (AKI). In intensive care units (ICU), the morbidity and mortality associated with sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) are gradually increasing due to lack of effective and early detection, as well as proper treatment. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) exert a regulatory function in gene transcription, RNA processing, post-transcriptional translation, and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Evidence indicated that miRNAs are involved in inflammation and programmed cell death during the development of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI). Moreover, lncRNAs and circRNAs appear to be an essential regulatory mechanism in SA-AKI. In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanism of ncRNAs in SA-AKI and discussed their potential in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global public health concern with high morbidity, mortality, and medical costs. Despite advances in medicine, effective therapeutic regimens for AKI remain limited. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a subtype of non-coding RNAs, which longer than 200 nucleotides and perform extremely diverse functions in biological processes. Recently, lncRNAs have emerged as promising biomarkers and key mediators to AKI. Meanwhile, existing research reveals that the aberrant expression of lncRNAs has been linked to major pathological processes in AKI, including the inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and apoptosis, via forming the lncRNA/microRNA/target gene regulatory axis. Following a comprehensive and systematic search of the available literature, 87 relevant papers spanning the years 2005 to 2021 were identified. This review aims to provide and update an overview of lncRNAs in AKI, and further shed light on their potential utility as AKI biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Sepsis is resulted from a systemic inflammatory response to bacterial, viral, or fungal agents. The induced inflammatory response by these microorganisms can lead to multiple organ system failure with devastating consequences. Recent studies have shown altered expressions of several non-coding RNAs such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) during sepsis. These transcripts have also been found to participate in the pathogenesis of multiple organ system failure through different mechanisms. NEAT1, MALAT1, THRIL, XIST, MIAT and TUG1 are among lncRNAs that participate in the pathoetiology of sepsis-related complications. miR-21, miR-155, miR-15a-5p, miR-494-3p, miR-218, miR-122, miR-208a-5p, miR-328 and miR-218 are examples of miRNAs participating in these complications. Finally, tens of circRNAs such as circC3P1, hsa_circRNA_104484, hsa_circRNA_104670 and circVMA21 and circ-PRKCI have been found to affect pathogenesis of sepsis. In the current review, we describe the role of these three classes of noncoding RNAs in the pathoetiology of sepsis-related complications.

Abstract
Sepsis, an infection-induced systemic inflammatory disorder, is often accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction syndromes with high incidence and mortality rates, and those who survive are often left with long-term sequelae, bringing great burden to social economy. Therefore, novel approaches to solve this puzzle are urgently needed. Previous studies revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have exerted significant influences on the process of sepsis. The aim of this review is to summarize our understanding of lncRNAs as potential sepsis-related diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets, and provide new insights into the diagnosis and treatment for sepsis. In this study, we also introduced the current diagnostic markers of sepsis and discussed their limitations, while review the research advances in lncRNAs as promising biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis. Furthermore, the roles of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced organ dysfunction were illustrated in terms of different organ systems. Nevertheless, further studies should be carried out to elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms and pathological process of sepsis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Circular RNAs act as vital regulators in diverse diseases. However, the investigation of circular RNAs in sepsis-engendered acute kidney injury remains dismal. We aimed to explore the effects of circular RNA protein kinase C iota (circ-PRKCI) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated HK2 cell injury. Sepsis in vitro model was established by LPS treatment. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay was conducted for determining the levels of circ-PRKCI, microRNA-106b-5p (miR-106b-5p), and growth factor receptor binding 2-associated binding protein 1 (GAB1). Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The concentrations of interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The levels of oxidative stress markers were determined using relevant commercial kits. Western blot assay was conducted for B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), BCL2-Associated X (Bax), and GAB1 protein levels. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were used to verify the association between miR-106b-5p and circ-PRKCI or GAB1. We found the Circ-PRKCI level was decreased in sepsis patients and LPS-induced human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells. LPS exposure inhibited cell viability and facilitated apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in HK-2 cells. Circ-PRKCI overexpression abrogated the effects of LPS on cell apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress in HK-2 cells. Furthermore, circ-PRKCI was identified as the sponge for miR-106b-5p to positively regulate GAB1 expression. Overexpression of circ-PRKCI relieved LPS-mediated HK-2 cell damage by sponging miR-106b-5p. MiR-106b-5p inhibition ameliorated the injury of HK-2 cells mediated by LPS, whereas GAB1 knockdown reversed the effect. Collectively, Circ-PRKCI overexpression attenuated LPS-induced HK-2 cell injury by regulating miR-106b-5p/GAB1 axis.

Abstract
Sepsis, an inflammation-related clinical syndrome, is characterized by disrupted immune homeostasis accompanied by infection and multiple organ dysfunction as determined by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). Substantial evidence has recently suggested that lncRNAs orchestrate various biological processes in diseases, and lncRNAs play special roles in the diagnosis and management of sepsis. To date, very few reviews have provided clear and comprehensive clues to demonstrate the roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Based on previously published studies, in this review, we summarize the different functions of lncRNAs in sepsis-induced cellular disorders and sepsis-induced organ failure to show the potential roles of lncRNAs in the diagnosis and management of sepsis. We further depict the function of some lncRNAs known to be pivotal regulators in the pathogenesis of sepsis to discuss the underlying molecular events. Additionally, we list and discuss several hotspots in research on lncRNAs, which may be conducive to future lncRNA-targeted therapeutic approaches for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Sepsis is an acute systemic infectious disease engendered by infectious factors, which can cause the dysfunction of multiple organs, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Recently, more and more researchers are focussing on long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is closely associated with the development and progression of various diseases; however, the role and mechanism of lncRNA in sepsis-induced AKI are not fully understood. Here, we found a significant increase in the expression of lncRNA small nuclear RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5) in the serum of patients with sepsis than healthy controls. Similar results were obtained from mouse model of sepsis. Further investigations revealed that knockdown of SNHG5 improves the viability and reduces the rate of apoptosis and the generation of inflammatory cytokines in HK-2 and TCMK-1 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide. Mechanistically, we showed that SNHG5 can combine with microRNA-374a-3p (miR-374a-3p), which inhibits nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity by targeting TLR4. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that SNHG5 may regulate sepsis-induced AKI via the miR-374a-3p/TLR4/NF-κB pathway, therefore providing a new insight into the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Sepsis is an inflammatory disorder and leads to severe acute kidney injury (AKI). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified as a critical type of regulatory noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that present the important functions in various diseases. In this study, we identified a novel circRNA circTLK1 in the regulation of sepsis-induced AKI. We observed that circTLK1 expression was elevated in the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) rat model compared with that in the control rats. The urine levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) and the serum levels of creatinine (sCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were increased by the CLP treatment in the rats but were blocked by the circTLK1 shRNA. The circTLK1 shRNA reduced the CLP-induced kidney injury in the rats. The circTLK1 knockdown repressed oxidation stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the sepsis-related AKI rat model. Moreover, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment increased the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the HK-2 cells, while the circTLK1 shRNA could attenuate the enhancement in the cells. Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression was upregulated, but Bcl-2 expression was downregulated by the LPS in the HK-2 cells, in which circTLK1 depletion reversed this effect in the cells. The depletion of circTLK1 attenuated the LPS-induced apoptosis in the HK-2 cells. CircTLK1 enhanced HMGB1 expression by sponging miR-106a-5p in the HK-2 cells, and miR-106a-5p and HMGB1 were involved in circTLK1-meidated injury of LPS-treated cells. Therefore, we concluded that circTLK1 contributed to sepsis-associated AKI by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress through the miR-106a-5p/HMGB1 axis. CircTLK1 and miR-106a-5p may be employed as the potential targets for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Recent progress in genomic research has highlighted the genome to be much more transcribed than expected. The formerly so-called junk DNA encodes a miscellaneous group of largely unknown RNA transcripts, which contain the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) family. lncRNAs are instrumental in gene regulation. Moreover, understanding their biological roles in the physiopathology of many diseases, including renal, is a new challenge. lncRNAs regulate the effects of microRNAs (miRNA) on mRNA expression. Understanding the complex crosstalk between lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA is one of the main challenges of modern molecular biology. This review aims to summarize the role of lncRNA on kidney diseases, the molecular mechanisms involved, and their function as emerging prognostic biomarkers for both acute and chronic kidney diseases. Finally, we will also outline new therapeutic opportunities to diminish renal injury by targeting lncRNA with antisense oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is characterized by a hyperinflammatory state accompanied by immunosuppression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are noncoding RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides and have important roles in mediating various biological processes. Recently, lncRNAs were found to exert both promotive and inhibitory immune functions in sepsis, thus participating in sepsis regulation. Additionally, several studies have revealed that lncRNAs are involved in sepsis-induced organ dysfunctions, including cardiovascular dysfunction, acute lung injury, and acute kidney injury. Considering the lack of effective biomarkers for early identification and specific treatment for sepsis, lncRNAs may be promising biomarkers and even targets for sepsis therapies. This review systematically highlights the recent advances regarding the roles of lncRNAs in sepsis and sheds light on their use as potential biomarkers and treatment targets for sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be involved in the progression of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, we aimed to explore the functions of lncRNA cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (CASC2) in sepsis-induced AKI. METHODS The sepsis cell models were established by exposing HK2 and HEK293 cells into lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was conducted to determine the expression of CASC2, miR-545-3p and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARA) mRNA. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, flow cytometry analysis and wound healing assay were employed for cell viability, apoptosis and migration, respectively. Western blot assay was conducted for the protein levels of E-cadherin, α-SMA and PPARA. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by specific kits. The relationship between miR-545-3p and CASC2 or PPARA was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS CASC2 level was decreased in sepsis patients' serums and LPS-treated HK2 and HEK293 cells. CASC2 overexpression facilitated cell viability and restrained cell apoptosis, migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and oxidative stress in LPS-triggered HK2 and HEK293 cells. CASC2 was identified as a sponge for miR-545-3p to regulate PPARA expression. MiR-545-3p overexpression restored the impact of CASC2 on LPS-induced injury in HK2 and HEK293 cells. Moreover, miR-545-3p overexpression aggravated LPS-induced cell injury in HK2 and HEK293 cells by targeting PPARA. CONCLUSION CASC2 overexpression relieved the damage of HK2 and HEK293 cells mediated by LPS treatment through regulating miR-545-3p/PPARA axis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of sepsis and is characterized by inflammatory response. MicroRNA-210 host gene (MIR210HG) is upregulated in human proximal tubular epithelial cells under treatment of inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to explore the role of MIR210HG in sepsis-induced AKI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell viability was detected by a cell counting kit 8 assay. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The protein levels of p65, IκBα, and p-IκBα were examined by western blot analysis. The nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) was detected by immunofluorescence assay. The histological changes of kidneys were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining assay. RESULTS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment significantly inhibited cell viability and increased productions of proinflammatory cytokines in proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKC-8). Additionally, MIR210HG levels in HKC-8 cells were increased by LPS treatment. MIR210HG silencing inhibited the LPS-induced cell inflammatory response. MIR210HG activated the NF-κB signaling pathway by promoting the phosphorylation of IκBα and nuclear translocation of p65. Rescue assays revealed that the MIR210HG-induced increase of cytokines levels and decline of cell viability were rescued by QNZ treatment. Knockdown of MIR210HG decreased blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in AKI rats. Moreover, the knockdown of MIR210HG protected against AKI-induced histological changes of kidneys in rats. CONCLUSION MIR210HG promotes sepsis-induced inflammatory response of HKC-8 cells by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. This novel discovery may be helpful for the improvement of sepsis-induced AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in human diseases, including sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, we aimed to investigate the functions of lncRNA NKILA in sepsis-engendered AKI. METHODS HK2 cells stimulated with LPS were used to mimic sepsis-induced AKI in vitro. qRT-PCR was conducted for lncRNA NKILA and miR-140-5p levels. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry analysis were employed to analyze cell viability and apoptosis. Western blot assay was utilized to measured protein levels. ELISA kits were used to examine the concentrations of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was utilized to analyze the relationships among lncRNA NKILA, miR-140-5p and claudin 2 (CLDN2). RESULTS LPS restrained HK2 cell viability and accelerated cell apoptosis and autophagy. LncRNA NKILA was increased in LPS-treated HK2 cells. LncRNA NKILA silencing reversed the promotional influence of LPS on cell progression in HK2 cells. miR-140-5p inhibition ameliorated lncRNA NKILA knockdown-mediated cell injury in LPS-mediated HK2 cells. CLDN2 was the target of miR-140-5p. MiR-140-5p elevation promoted cell viability and suppressed cell apoptosis, autophagy and inflammation in LPS-induced HK2 cells, with CLDN2 elevation overturned the effects. CONCLUSION LncRNA NKILA silencing protected HK2 cells from LPS-induced impairments by reducing CLDN2 through sponging miR-140-5p.

Abstract
Background: This meta-analysis aims to summarize the studies of lncRNAs dysregulation in individual acute kidney injury (AKI) and identify the potential lncRNA biomarkers of AKI.Research design and methods: We systematically searched four databases to identify the lncRNA expression studies of AKI in animal models and patients. The lncRNAs expression data were extracted from 38 included studies, and lncRNA vote-counting strategy was applied to identify significant lncRNA biomarkers. The predicted targets of lncRNA biomarkers were obtained by searching Co-LncRNA, RBPmap, and LncBase v.2. Further, GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were performed.Results: We recognized a significant lncRNA signature of 21 up-regulated and 11 down-regulated lncRNAs, among which TapSAKI, XIST, MALAT1, CASC2, and HOXA-AS2 were dysregulated both in AKI rodent models and patients. About 28.0% of these lncRNAs mainly exist in the nucleus, which was also the most enriched GO cellular components term. The most relevant GO terms in biological process and molecular function associated with these lncRNAs were splicing, processing, and binding of mRNA.Conclusions: The present meta-analysis identified 31 significant dysregulated lncRNAs from 38 studies. TapSAKI, XIST, MALAT1, CASC2, and HOXA-AS2 were considered as the potential predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrine has attractive cardioprotective effects in some diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of matrine against cardiac dysfunction induced by sepsis in vivo and in vitro, and further explore the related mechanisms. METHODS Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to induce a sepsis mice model, and H9C2 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used as a cardiac myoblast injury model. The evaluation of cardiac function of mice was performed by measuring cardiac function biomarker levels and hemodynamic indicators. An ELISA method was used to examine inflammatory cytokine levels. H9C2 cell viability was measured using MTT assay. The expression of non-coding RNAs that might be involved in matrine function was analyzed using real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS Matrine could significantly improve the cardiac function and attenuate the inflammatory response of the mice model, and could increase H9C2 viability and inhibit inflammation in the cell model. By matrine administration, the expression of PTENP1 was downregulated, but miR-106b-5p expression was upregulated both in vivo and in vitro. The cardioprotective effects of matrine in mice and cell models could be reversed by the overexpression of PTENP1 or the knockdown of miR-106b-5p, and the overexpression of miR-106b-5p could significantly abolish the effects of PTENP1 on cardiac function and inflammation. CONCLUSION All the data revealed that matrine can alleviate sepsis-related cardiac dysfunction by enhancing cardiac myoblast viability and attenuating inflammatory responses through the PTENP1/miR-106b-5p axis.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy-related disease, and patients usually present with a high inflammatory response. Previous studies have suggested that aspirin (ASP) may have a role in alleviating the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. However, whether ASP can improve kidney damage and the mechanism for improving it is currently unclear. Here we optimized a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced PE mouse model to identify the role of ASP in renal protection. We found that ASP treatment ameliorated LPS-induced renal failure and pathological changes, the tubular injury was significantly attenuated by ASP. Administration of ASP decreased the renal expression of pro-inflammatory factors, resulting in reduced kidney inflammation. The number of GALECTIN-3-positive cells was reduced, and the up-regulation of IL-6 and TNF-α was decreased. In addition, ASP also suppressed renal cell apoptosis and oxidative stress. An in vitro study indicated that ASP relieved LPS-induced HK-2 cell damage by inhibiting WNT5A/NF-κB signaling. Collectively, our data suggest that ASP is a useful therapeutic option for PE-related kidney injury.
