  • Title: CIRC_0008882 STIMULATES PDE7A TO SUPPRESS SEPTIC ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY PROGRESSION BY SPONGING MIR-155-5P.
    Author: You T, Kuang F.
    Journal: Shock; 2023 Apr 01; 59(4):657-665. PubMed ID: 36772990.
    Abstract:
    Background: The importance of circular RNA (circRNA) in the progression of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) was gradually recognized. It has been confirmed that circ_0008882 expression was decreased in the blood of patients with AKI. However, the role of circ_0008882 in septic AKI progression remains unclear. Methods: Human kidney-2 (HK2) cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish a septic AKI cell model. The RNA and protein expression of circ_0008882, miR-155-5p, phosphodiesterase 7A (PDE7A), PCNA, Bax, and Bcl-2 were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Cell viability was investigated by cell counting kit-8 assay. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adopted to measure the levels of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). Flow cytometry was implemented to evaluate cell cycle and cell apoptosis. The Caspase3 activity was examined using Caspase3 Assay Kit. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were applied to verify the molecular target relations. Results: Septic AKI serum samples and LPS-induced HK2 cells displayed low expression of circ_0008882 and PDE7A, and high expression of miR-155-5p when compared with the controls. Overexpression of circ_0008882 relieved LPS-induced HK2 cell injury. MiR-155-5p was a target of circ_0008882, and miR-155-5p mimic restored circ_0008882 overexpression-mediated effects on LPS-treated HK2 cells. PDE7A was identified as a target gene of miR-155-5p, and PDE7A downregulation almost reverted the improvement impacts induced by the miR-155-5p inhibitor. Conclusions: Overexpression of circ_0008882 impeded LPS-induced HK2 cell injury by modulating miR-155-5p/PDE7A pathway, implying that circ_0008882 might be a possible circRNA-targeted therapy for septic AKI.
