miR-25-3p protects renal tubular epithelial cells from apoptosis induced by renal IRI by targeting DKK3

Abstract: Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). So far, there have been many studies on renal IRI, although an effective treatment method has not been developed. In recent years, growing evidence has shown that small noncoding RNAs play an important regulatory role in renal IRI. This article aims to explore whether microRNA-25-3p (miR-25-3p) plays a role in the molecular mechanism of renal IRI. The results showed that the expression level of miR-25-3p was significantly downregulated in a rat renal IRI model, and this result was confirmed with in vitro experiments. After the hypoxia-reoxygenation treatment, the apoptosis level of NRK-52E cells transfected with miR-25-3p mimics decreased significantly, and this antiapoptotic effect was antagonized by miR-25-3p inhibitors. In addition, we confirmed that DKK3 is a target of miR-25-3p. miR-25-3p exerts its protective effect against apoptosis on NRK-52E cells by inhibiting the expression of DKK3, and downregulating the expression level of miR-25-3p could disrupt this protective effect. In addition, we reconfirmed the role of miR-25-3p in rats. Therefore, we confirmed that miR-25-3p may target DKK3 to reduce renal cell damage caused by hypoxia and that miR-25-3p may be a new potential treatment for renal IRI.
