MiR-590-3p Attenuates Acute Kidney Injury by Inhibiting Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Factor 6 in Septic Mice

AbstractPrevious studies have been indicated that tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-induced inflammation leads to acute kidney injury (AKI). How microRNA (miR) contributes to this process is poorly defined. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-590-3p regulated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response by inhibiting TRAF6. LPS-induced septic mice were treated with adenovirus expressing miR-590-3p (ad-miR-590-3p)via tail-vein injection. AKI was evaluated by examining serum cystatin C (CysC), serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The mRNA and protein levels were assayed by RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. The proliferation of podocytes was monitored using the MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by f...
