    Abstract:
    This study tested the hypothesis that therapy with double overexpression of miR-19a-3p and miR-20a-5p (miRDOE ) to human inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iPS-MSCs) was superior to iPS-MSCs alone for preserving renal function in rat with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), followed by ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. In vitro study demonstrated that the protein expressions of oxidative stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/NOX4/oxidized protein/p22phox), inflammatory downstream signalling (TLR2&4/MyD88/TRAF6/IKK-ß/p-NFκB/IL-1ß/IL-6/MMP-9) and cell apoptosis/death signalling (cleaved caspase-3/mitochondrial Bax/p-ERKs/p-JNK/p-p38) at time-points of 24-hour/48-hour cell cultures were significantly increased in p-Cresol-treated NRK-52E cells than in the control that was significantly reversed by miR-19a-3p-transfected iPS-MSC (all P < .001). Animals were categorized into group 1 (sham-operated control), group 2 (CKD-IR), group 3 (CKD-IR + oligo-miRDOE of iPS-MSCs/6.0 ×105 /intra-renal artery transfusion/3 hours after IR procedure), group 4 (CKD-IR + iPS-MSCs) and group 5 (CKD-IR + miRDOE of iPS-MSCs/6.0 ×105/ intra-renal artery transfusion/3 hour after IR procedure). By day 35, the creatinine/BUN levels were lowest in group 1, highest in group 2 and significantly lower in group 5 than in groups 3 and 4 (all P < .0001) but they showed no difference between the latter two groups. The protein expressions of oxidative stress, inflammatory downstream signalling and cell apoptosis/death signalling exhibited an identical pattern of creatinine level among the five groups (all P < .00001). Also, the microscopic findings demonstrated that the kidney injury score/fibrotic area/number of inflammatory cells (CD14+/CD68+) exhibited an identical pattern of creatine level (all P < .0001). The miRDOE of iPS-MSCs was superior to iPS-MSCs for preserving the residual kidney function and architecture in CKD-IR rat.
