MicroRNA-451 inhibits inflammation and proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells through down-regulating PSMD11 and NF-κB p65

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the regulatory roles of microRNA-451 (miR-451) on the inflammation and proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) under high-glucose condition, and reveal the potential mechanisms related to 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit 11 (PSMD11) and nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κB) signaling. The interaction between PSMD11 and miR-451 was identified by dual luciferase reporter (DLR) gene assay. GMCs were treated with 5.6 mmol/l (normal, L-GMCs) and 30 mmol/l glucose (high-glucose, H-GMCs), respectively. After transfecting with pcDNA3.1-PSMD11 and/or miR-451 mimics, the expression of miR-451, PSMD11, inhibitor of NF-κB α (IκBα), phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα), NF-κB p65, COX-2, and cyclinD1 were detected in H-GMCs by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and/or Western blot. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, cell cycle, and viability was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and MTT assay, respectively. MiR-451 was up-regulated in H-GMCs, and negatively regulated its target PSMD11 (P<0.05). H-GMCs exhibited significantly higher levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, cell viability, and p-IκBα, NF-κB, COX-2, and cyclinD1 expression than L-GMCs (P<0.05). The transfection of miR-451 mimics significantly decreased the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, inhibited the cell viability via blocking cells in G0/G1 phase, and down-regulated p-IκBα, NF-κB p65, COX-2, and cyclinD1 in H-GMCs (P<0.05). The regulatory effects of miR-451 mimics on H-GMCs were reversed by the transfection of PSMD11 (P<0.05). The up-regulation of miR-451 inhibits the inflammation and proliferation of H-GMCs through down-regulating PSMD11 and NF-κB p65.

miR-451 Loaded Exosomes Are Released by the Renal Cells in Response to Injury and Associated With Reduced Kidney Function in Human

“…Besides, miR-451 expression was found to increase in the exosomes secreted by the hPT cells in response to injury; however, high glucose treatment for 48 h failed to elicit this response. In response to high glucose, marked downregulation of miR-451 has been shown in mesangial cells (Sun et al, 2016;Wei et al, 2019). We also found that longer exposure of proximal tubule cells to high glucose conditions (for 72 h) led to a rise in miR451 in these cells and their derived exosomes.…”

Regulation of inflammatory and catabolic responses to IL-1β in rat articular chondrocytes by microRNAs miR-122 and miR-451

“…2). miR-451 transfection in glomerular mesangial cells under high-glucose conditions was shown to decrease IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, and COX-2 46 . The differences in cell type and glucose concentration may account for these differences.…”

Target Fishing Reveals a Novel Mechanism of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole Derivatives Targeting Rpn6, a Subunit of 26S Proteasome

“…In recent years, several studies have reported therapeutic strategies targeting Rpn6. − Heitmeier and co-workers reported the increase in the assembly of 26S proteasomes accompanied by an elevated expression of Rpn6 in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) of pulmonary hypertension (PH), indicating that Rpn6 is a novel potential target to specifically interfere with 26S proteasome activation in RVH . Recently, Wu et al studied the regulatory mechanism of Rpn6 in age-related hearing loss (ARHL).…”
