Abstract
CKD is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The accumulation of uremic toxins in CKD induces oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) is induced by oxidative stress in endothelial cells (ECs) and involved in angiogenesis and atherosclerosis. We investigated a role for oxidative stress-responsive miR-92a in CKD. Our study of patients at three clinical sites showed increased serum miR-92a level with decreased kidney function. In cultured ECs, human CKD serum or uremic toxins (such as indoxyl sulfate), compared with non-CKD serum, induced the levels of miR-92a and suppressed the expression of miR-92a targets, including key endothelial-protective molecules. The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine inhibited these vasculopathic properties. In rats, adenine-induced CKD associated with increased levels of miR-92a in aortas, serum, and CD144+ endothelial microparticles. Furthermore, CD144+ microparticles from human uremic serum contained more miR-92a than those from control serum. Additional analysis showed a positive correlation between serum levels of miR-92a and indoxyl sulfate in a cohort of patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis. Collectively, our findings suggest that the uremic toxins accumulated in CKD can upregulate miR-92a in ECs, which impairs EC function and predisposes patients to CVD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) stands as the preeminent kidney journal globally, offering an exceptional synthesis of cutting-edge basic research, clinical epidemiology, meta-analysis, and relevant editorial content. Representing a comprehensive resource, JASN encompasses clinical research, editorials distilling key findings, perspectives, and timely reviews.
Editorials are skillfully crafted to elucidate the essential insights of the parent article, while JASN actively encourages the submission of Letters to the Editor discussing recently published articles. The reviews featured in JASN are consistently erudite and comprehensive, providing thorough coverage of respective fields. Since its inception in July 1990, JASN has been a monthly publication.
JASN publishes original research reports and editorial content across a spectrum of basic and clinical science relevant to the broad discipline of nephrology. Topics covered include renal cell biology, developmental biology of the kidney, genetics of kidney disease, cell and transport physiology, hemodynamics and vascular regulation, mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, renal immunology, kidney pathology, pathophysiology of kidney diseases, nephrolithiasis, clinical nephrology (including dialysis and transplantation), and hypertension. Furthermore, articles addressing healthcare policy and care delivery issues relevant to nephrology are warmly welcomed.
