Yang J, Yuan Y, Wang L, Deng G, Huang J, Liu Y, Gu W. Suppression of long noncoding RNA SNHG6 alleviates cigarette smoke-induced lung inflammation by modulating NF-κB signaling. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024; 39:2634-2641. [PMID: 38205902 DOI: 10.1002/tox.24132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread inflammatory disease with a high mortality rate. Long noncoding RNAs play important roles in pulmonary diseases and are potential targets for inflammation intervention. METHODS The expression of small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (SNHG6) in mouse lung epithelial cell line MLE12 with or without cigarette smoke extract (CSE) treatment was first detected using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. ELISA was used to evaluate the release of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). The binding site of miR-182-5p with SNHG6 was predicted by using miRanda, which was verified by double luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS Here, we revealed that SNHG6 was upregulated in CS-exposed MLE12 alveolar epithelial cells and lungs from COPD-model mice. SNHG6 silencing weakened CS-induced inflammation in MLE12 cells and mouse lungs. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SNHG6 could upregulate IκBα kinase through sponging the microRNA miR-182-5p, followed by activated NF-κB signaling. The suppressive effects of SNHG6 silencing on CS-induced inflammation were blocked by an miR-182-5p inhibitor. CONCLUSION Overall, our findings suggested that SNHG6 regulates CS-induced inflammation in COPD by activating NF-κB signaling, thereby offering a novel potential target for COPD treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, which induces the production of AGEs, ROS, inflammatory cytokines, and growth factors, leading to the formation of vascular dysfunction and target organ damage, promoting the development of diabetic complications. Diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and cardiomyopathy are common complications of diabetes, which are major contributors to disability and death in people with diabetes. Long non-coding RNAs affect gene transcription, mRNA stability, and translation efficiency to influence gene expression for a variety of biological functions. Over the past decade, it has been demonstrated that dysregulated long non-coding RNAs are extensively engaged in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including diabetic complications. Thus, this review discusses the regulations of long non-coding RNAs on the primary pathogenesis of diabetic complications (oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and microvascular dysfunction), and some of these long non-coding RNAs may function as potential biomarkers or therapeutic targets for diabetic complications.

Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2024; 24:1069-1080. [PMID: 37855350 DOI: 10.2174/0118715303252127230926002355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a primary glomerular disease. As a circulating protein, growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) participates in a variety of biological processes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the role of GDF15 in CGN. METHODS HBZY-1 cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cell viability was detected using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and a western blot was applied for the detection of GDF15 protein expression. After GDF15 silencing, cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Autophagy was assessed by GFP-LC3B assay. Besides, the expression of NF-κB signaling-, autophagy- (LC3II/I, Beclin l and p62) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling-related proteins were measured by western blot. Afterwards, PI3K agonist 740Y-P was used to clarify whether GDF15 affected LPS-induced HBZY-1 cells via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. RESULTS LPS induction increased cell viability and elevated GDF15 expression in HBZY-1 cells. After GDF15 expression depletion, the increased proliferation of LPS-induced HBZY-1 cells was decreased. Additionally, GDF15 knockdown suppressed the release of inflammatory factors in LPS-induced HBZY-1 cells and activated autophagy. Moreover, the PI3K/AKT/ mTOR signal was evidenced to be activated by GDF15 deficiency. The further addition of 740Y-P reversed the impacts of GDF15 deficiency on the proliferation, inflammation, and autophagy of LPS-induced HBZY-1. CONCLUSION Collectively, GDF15 downregulation could protect against CGN via blocking PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling.

Nephron Clin Pract 2023; 148:245-263. [PMID: 38142674 DOI: 10.1159/000531919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) cancer susceptibility candidate 2 (CASC2) alleviates the progression of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. This study investigated how CASC2 impacts renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) through regulating M1 macrophage (M1) polarization. METHOD Nine-week-old mice underwent unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) establishment. Macrophages were induced toward M1 polarization using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro and cocultured with fibroblasts to examine how M1 polarization influences RIF. LnCeCell predicted that CASC2 interacted with myocyte enhancer factor 2 C (MEF2C), which was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. CASC2/MEF2C overexpression was achieved by lentivirus-expressing lncRNA CASC2 injection in vivo or CASC2 and MEF2C transfection in vitro. Renal injury was evaluated through biochemical analysis and hematoxylin-eosin/Masson staining. Macrophage infiltration and M1 polarization in the kidney and/or macrophages were detected by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and/or quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Expressions of CASC2, MEF2C, and markers related to inflammation/M1/fibrosis in the kidney/macrophages/fibroblasts were analyzed by qRT-PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and/or Western blot. RESULT In the kidneys of mice, CASC2 was downregulated and macrophage infiltration was promoted time-dependently from days 3 to 14 post-UUO induction; CASC2 overexpression alleviated renal histological abnormalities, hindered macrophage infiltration and M1 polarization, downregulated renal function markers serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and inflammation/M1/fibrosis-related makers, and offset UUO-induced MEF2C upregulation. LncRNA CASC2 overexpression inhibited fibroblast fibrosis and M1 polarization in cocultured fibroblasts with LPS-activated macrophages. Also, CASC2 bound to MEF2C and inhibited its expression in LPS-activated macrophages. Furthermore, MEF2C reversed the inhibitory effects of lncRNA CASC2 overexpression. CONCLUSION CASC2 alleviates RIF by inhibiting M1 polarization through directly downregulating MEF2C expression. CASC2 might represent a promising value of future investigations on treatment for RIF.

Abstract
Most people are aware of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a dangerous pregnancy complication in which pregnant women who have never been diagnosed with diabetes develop chronic hyperglycaemia. Exosomal microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation has been shown to be a key player in the pathophysiology of GDM. In this study, we looked into how placental exosomes and their miRNAs may contribute to GDM. When compared to exosomes from healthy pregnant women, it was discovered that miR-135a-5p was elevated in placenta-derived exosomes that were isolated from the maternal peripheral plasma of GDM women. Additionally, we discovered that miR-135a-5p encouraged HTR-8/SVneo cell growth, invasion and migration. Further research revealed that miR-135a-5p activates HTR-8/SVneo cells' proliferation, invasion and migration by promoting PI3K/AKT pathway activity via Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). The transfer of exosomal miR-135a-5p generated from the placenta could be viewed as a promising agent for targeting genes and pertinent pathways involved in GDM, according to our findings.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes. It has become a leading cause of death in patients with diabetes and end-stage renal disease. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered pattern of programmed cell death. Its main manifestation is the excessive accumulation of intracellular iron ion-dependent lipid peroxides. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is an important driving factor in the onset and development of DN. Ferroptosis is closely associated with renal intrinsic cell (including renal tubular epithelial cells, podocytes, and mesangial cells) damage in diabetes. Chinese herbal medicine is widely used in the treatment of DN, with a long history and definite curative effect. Accumulating evidence suggests that Chinese herbal medicine can modulate ferroptosis in renal intrinsic cells and show great potential for improving DN. In this review, we outline the key regulators and pathways of ferroptosis in DN and summarize the herbs, mainly monomers and extracts, that target the inhibition of ferroptosis.

Abstract
As one of complications of diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy is related to renal dysfunction. Membrane metalloendopeptidase (MME) is associated with the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy and exerts a protective function in high glucose (HG)-treated podocytes. Salviolone, one of important bioactive components from Salvia miltiorrhiza, possesses an anti-inflammatory activity. However, the roles of salviolone in renal mesangial cell dysfunction under HG condition remain unknown. The targets of salviolone in diabetic nephropathy were predicted by bioinformatics analysis. Relative mRNA level of MME was detected by qPCR in HG-treated human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs). Cell viability was analyzed using CCK-8 assay. Cell proliferation was investigated by EdU staining. Oxidative stress was evaluated by detection of ROS generation and levels of oxidative stress-related biomarkers. The inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis-related biomarkers were examined by ELISA. Our results showed that MME expression was decreased in diabetic nephropathy and HG-treated HRMCs. Salviolone increased MME level in HG-treated HRMCs. Salviolone mitigated HG-induced HRMC proliferation by increasing MME expression. Salviolone attenuated HG-induced ROS generation, MDA level increase, and SOD activity decrease through upregulating MME expression. Moreover, salviolone suppressed HG-induced increase of levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, fibronectin, and collagen IV through upregulating MME expression. In conclusion, salviolone attenuates proliferation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis in HG-treated HRMCs through upregulating MME expression.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus often results in several complications, such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and end-stage renal diseases (ESRDs). Cancer patients often have the dysregulated glucose metabolism. Abnormal glucose metabolism can enhance the tumor malignant progression. Recently, lncRNAs have been reported to regulate the key proteins and signaling pathways in DKD development and progression and in cancer patients with diabetes. In this review article, we elaborate the evidence to support the function of lncRNAs in development of DKD and diabetes-associated cancer. Moreover, we envisage that lncRNAs could be diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers for DKD and cancer patients with diabetes. Furthermore, we delineated that targeting lncRNAs might be an alternative approach for treating DKD and cancer with dysregulated glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a disease occurred in glomeruli. The mechanism of CGN is regarded to be involved in a range of inflammatory responses. MicroRNA-339-5p (miR-339-5p) has been reported to be involved in inflammatory responses in many diseases. However, the role of miR-339-5p in CGN remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of miR-339-5p in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nephritis injury in vitro. The real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot (WB) were used to detect the expression of miR-339-5p and Syk/Ras/c-Fos pathway. Double luciferase was performed to identify targeted binding of miR-339-5p to Syk. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry were used to observe cell viability and cell cycle. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, and TNF-α. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could increase HBZY-1 (rat mesangial cells) cell viability, decrease the G2 phase, and promote cell proliferation and accelerate inflammatory cytokine. However, overexpression of miR-339-5p could inhibit LPS-induced HBZY-1 cell viability, decrease the expression of Syk/Ras/c-Fos signaling pathway, downregulate the expression level of inflammatory cytokines, increase the G2 phase, and inhibit cell proliferation. miR-339-5p could inhibit the proliferation and inflammation of the rat mesangial cells through regulating Syk/Ras/c-Fos signaling pathway.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, with relatively high morbidity and mortality globally but still in short therapeutic options. Over the decades, a large body of data has demonstrated that oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and hemodynamic disorders might exert critical influence in the initiation and development of DKD, whereas the delicate pathogenesis of DKD remains profoundly elusive. Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), extensively studied in the field of cancer, are attracting increasing attentions on the development of diabetes mellitus and its complications including DKD, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this review, we chiefly focused on abnormal expression and function of lncRNAs in major resident cells (mesangial cell, endothelial cell, podocyte, and tubular epithelial cell) in the kidney, summarized the critical roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of DKD, and elaborated their potential therapeutic significance, in order to advance our knowledge in this field, which might help in future research and clinical treatment for the disease.
