Abstract
Septic acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients with high morbidity and mortality. This study intends to clarify the clinical value and molecular mechanism of microR-380-3p in septic AKI by recruiting patients with septic AKI and establishing septic AKI cell models. Patients with septic AKI were included and human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to construct the AKI cell model of sepsis. The expression of microR-380-3p was detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of Bax, cleaved caspase 3, Bcl-2, p65, and p-p65 was detected by Western blot. The contents of inflammation and oxidation were determined by commercial kits. Bioinformatics predicted the binding target of microR-380-3p and a dual luciferase reporting system was used to verify the regulatory relationship between microR-380-3p and RAP1B. The concentration of microR-380-3p was elevated in patients with septic AKI and appeared to be a biomarker for these patients. Silenced microR-380-3p reversed the damage of LPS on HK-2 cells via promoting viability, inhibiting apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidation. RAP1B was a target of microR-380-3p and microR-380-3p exerted targeted inhibition of RAP1B expression level. Down-regulation of RAP1B reversed the influence of silenced microR-380-3p on HK-2 cells. MicroR-380-3p/RAP1B participated in activating the NF-κB pathway. MicroR-380-3p down-regulated RAP1B to exacerbate septic AKI, providing a potential therapeutic biomarker for septic AKI.
期刊介绍:
Our mission is to publish peer-reviewed papers in all branches of medical sciences including basic medicine, social medicine, clinical medicine, nursing sciences and disaster-prevention science, and to present new information of exceptional novelty, importance and interest to a broad readership of the TJEM.
The TJEM is open to original articles in all branches of medical sciences from authors throughout the world. The TJEM also covers the fields of disaster-prevention science, including earthquake archeology. Case reports, which advance significantly our knowledge on medical sciences or practice, are also accepted. Review articles, Letters to the Editor, Commentary, and News and Views will also be considered. In particular, the TJEM welcomes full papers requiring prompt publication.
