Abstract Liver fibrosis is a global health problem currently without clinically approved drugs. It characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) mainly produced activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Uncovering mechanisms underlying fibrogenic responses in HSCs may have profound translational implications. Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor B2 (EphB2) tyrosine kinase that has been indicated to be novel profibrotic factor involved liver fibrogenesis. In present study, we investigated effects miR-451 and miR-185 on expression EphB2 their roles fibrogenesis both vitro vivo. We found upregulation direct downstream molecular event decreased process fibrosis. Moreover, was unexpectedly upregulate at post-transcriptional level directly targeting nuclear export exportin 1 (XPO-1) synergistically suppress activation with miR-185. To investigate clinical potential these miRNAs, miR-451/miR-185 agomirs were injected individually or jointly into CCl 4 -treated mice. The results showed coadministration alleviated These findings indicate miR-451/XPO-1/miR-185 axis play important synergistic regulatory partly through co-targeting EphB2, which provides therapeutic strategy for treatment

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the serious complications that occurs in diabetic patients frequently causes blindness. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with DR pathology. This study aimed to determine underlying mechanism lncRNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) association DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) endothelial-mesenchymal transition (endMT) DR. A rat model was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection, and a high-glucose (HG)-induced cell established exposing microvascular endothelial cells obtained from retina rats HG. Subsequently, MEG3 overexpressed models characterize its impact on endMT involvement phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Furthermore, methylation level promoter region determined application methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction, followed chromatin immunoprecipitation assay for enrichment. Finally, we examined regulation DNMT1 HG-induced model. The results revealed downregulated expression models. Overexpressed shown suppress through inhibition PI3K/Akt/mTOR Notably, could promote inhibit recruiting methyltransferase, which activated pathway accelerate These findings further highlighted inhibitory effect DR, thus presenting novel therapeutic candidate treatment.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major disease featured by rapid decline of renal function. Pathologically, AKI characterized tubular epithelial cell and death. Besides its acute consequence, contributes critically to the development progression chronic (CKD). After AKI, surviving cells regenerate repair. Normal repair restores integrity, while maladaptive or incomplete results in fibrosis eventually CKD. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are functional RNA molecules that transcribed from DNA but not translated into proteins, which mainly include microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding (lncRNAs), circular (circRNAs), small nucleolar (snoRNAs), tRNAs. Accumulating evidence suggests ncRNAs play important roles In this review, we summarize recent advances understanding ncRNAs, especially miRNAs lncRNAs repair, discuss potential application as biomarkers well therapeutic targets for treating impeding AKI-CKD transition, highlight future research directions

Renal fibrosis is a key factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD).Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles the physiological and pathological progression of human diseases.However, underlying mechanisms lncRNAs renal still need to be discovered.In this study, we first displayed increased lncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) expression patients with obstructive nephropathy (ON).Then found that transforming growth beta (TGF-β1) induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) extracellular matrix (ECM) protein deposition, which promoted viability, proliferation migration proximal tubular epithelial (HK2) cells.Next, MALAT1/miR-145/focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway was confirmed an importment role TGF-β1induced fibrosis.In addition, MALAT1/miR-145/FAK involved effect dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on TGF-β1-induced vitro vivo.Furthermore, m 6 A methyltransferase methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) shown main modification MALAT1.

Abstract Fibrosis, a process caused by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), is common cause and outcome organ failure even death. Researchers have made many efforts to understand the mechanism fibrogenesis develop therapeutic strategies; yet, remains unsatisfactory. In recent years, advances in epigenetics, including chromatin remodeling, histone modification, DNA methylation, noncoding RNA (ncRNA), provided more insights into fibrotic suggested possibility novel therapy for fibrosis. this review, we summarize current research on epigenetic mechanisms involved fibrosis their possible clinical applications.

The intricate crosstalk between long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and epigenetic modifications such as chromatin/histone methylation acetylation offer new perspectives on the pathogenesis treatment of kidney diseases. lncRNAs, a class transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with no protein-coding potential, are now recognized key regulatory molecules influencing gene expression through diverse mechanisms. They modulate by recruiting or blocking enzymes responsible for adding removing methyl acetyl groups, DNA, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) histone acetylation, subsequently altering chromatin structure accessibility. In diseases acute injury (AKI), chronic disease (CKD), diabetic nephropathy (DN), glomerulonephritis (GN), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), aberrant patterns DNA/RNA/histone have been associated onset progression, revealing complex interplay lncRNA dynamics. Recent studies highlighted how lncRNAs can impact pathology affecting function genes involved in cycle control, fibrosis, inflammatory responses. This review will separately address roles diseases, particular emphasis elucidating bidirectional effects underlying mechanisms conjunction addition to potential exacerbating renoprotective pathologies. Understanding reciprocal relationships not only shed light molecular underpinnings pathologies but also present avenues therapeutic interventions biomarker development, advancing precision medicine nephrology.

Abstract Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) causes pulmonary fibrosis via activating transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) in rats, but its upstream regulatory mechanisms are unknown. This study aimed to explore the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) NiO NPs‐induced collagen deposition. Male Wistar rats were intratracheally instilled with NPs (0.015, 0.06, and 0.24 mg/kg b.w.) twice a week for 9 weeks. Human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (A549 cells) cultured (25, 50, 100 μg/ml) establish deposition model. We discovered that rat was accompanied by epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurrence MEG3 down‐regulation tissues. In cell model, also evoked EMT decreased expression dose‐dependent manner A549 cells. By overexpressing cells, we found inhibited level TGF‐β1, process formation. Moreover, our data showed SB431542 (TGF‐β1 inhibitor) had an inhibitory effect on Our results indicated regulating TGF‐β1‐mediated process, which may provide some clues insighting into fibrosis.
