Abstract

TGF-β1 upregulates microRNA-192 (miR-192) in cultured glomerular mesangial cells and in glomeruli from diabetic mice. miR-192 not only increases collagen expression by targeting the E-box repressors Zeb1/2 but also modulates other renal miRNAs, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic target for diabetic nephropathy. We evaluated the efficacy of a locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified inhibitor of miR-192, designated LNA-anti-miR-192, in mouse models of diabetic nephropathy. LNA-anti-miR-192 significantly reduced levels of miR-192, but not miR-194, in kidneys of both normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. In the kidneys of diabetic mice, inhibition of miR-192 significantly increased Zeb1/2 and decreased gene expression of collagen, TGF-β, and fibronectin; immunostaining confirmed the downregulation of these mediators of renal fibrosis. Furthermore, LNA-anti-miR-192 attenuated proteinuria in these diabetic mice. In summary, the specific reduction of renal miR-192 decreases renal fibrosis and improves proteinuria, lending support for the possibility of an anti-miRNA-based translational approach to the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
