MicroRNA-216a-5p Alleviates Acute Kidney Injury of Mice via Suppressing FAS Ligand Expression
Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this present work was to investigate the mechanism of the microRNA (miR)-216a-5p/FASL axis in mice with acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods: Mice kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was used as AKI models in this study. I/R mice were injected with miR-216a-5p- and FASL-related constructs to investigate potential mechanisms of kidney protection. Kidney function, inflammation, oxidative stress, and kidney cell apoptosis were assessed after 24 h of reperfusion. In vitro, the hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model was used with kidney tubular epithelial cells (TECs) to mimic kidney I/R injury. H/R-treated TECs were transfected with miR-216a-5p- and FASL-related constructs to detect cell viability, inflammation, and oxidative stress. MiR-216a-5p and FASL expression levels in mouse kidney tissues and in H/R-treated TECs were detected. Results: MiR-216a-5p was downregulated and FASL was upregulated in kidney tissues of I/R mice and H/R-treated TECs. Upregulating miR-216a-5p attenuated kidney cell apoptosis and the damage of kidney function, and reduced inflammatory factor levels and oxidative stress response in kidney tissues of I/R mice. Upregulating miR-216a-5p advanced cell viability and reduced inflammatory factor levels and oxidative stress response in H/R-treated TECs. Downregulation of FASL effectively reversed the influences of downregulation of miR-216a-5p on kidney injury in mice and kidney TEC survival. Conclusion: Our study reveals that miR-216a-5p reduces I/R-induced pathological kidney damage in AKI via suppressing FASL.
