PG - 30-36 LID - 10.1055/a-1185-9283 [doi] AB - AIMS: Our study aimed to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA ANRIL (lnc-ANRIL) knock-down in regulating cell activities, inflammation and downstream signaling pathways in mouse mesangial cellular diabetic nephropathy (DN) model.: METHODS: The mouse mesangial cells (SV40-MES13 cells) were treated with high-glucose (HG) to construct cellular DN model. Lnc-ANRIL knock-down plasmid and control knock-down plasmid were transfected into HG-treated SV40-MES13 cells as Sh-ANRIL group and Sh-NC group respectively. RESULTS: Lnc-ANRIL expression was significantly higher in HG-treated SV40-MES13 cells compared with normal glucose-treated SV40-MES13 cells and osmotic control-treated SV40-MES13 cells. Lnc-ANRIL knock-down suppressed cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in HG-treated SV40-MES13 cells. As for fibrosis, lnc-ANRIL knock-down reduced fibronectin and collagen I expressions in HG-treated SV40-MES13 cells. Besides, the expressions of supernatant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-18 were reduced in Sh-ANRIL group compared with Sh-NC group. Furthermore, Wnt3, beta-catenin, p-MEK1 and p-ERK1 expressions were suppressed in Sh-ANRIL group compared with Sh-NC group, which suggested that lnc-ANRIL knock-down inhibited Wnt/beta-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways in HG-treated SV40-MES13 cells. CONCLUSIONS: Lnc-ANRIL knock-down suppresses mouse mesangial cell proliferation, fibrosis, inflammation, Wnt/beta-catenin and MEK/ERK pathways in DN. CI - Thieme. All rights reserved.
