miR-16-5p aggravates sepsis-associated acute kidney injury by inducing apoptosis

AbstractSepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a common disease in pediatric intensive care units (ICU) with high morbidity and mortality.

description AbstractSepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a common disease in pediatric intensive care units (ICU) with high morbidity and mortality. The newly discovered results indicate that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of S-AKI and can be used as markers for early diagnosis. In this study, the expression level of miR-16-5p was found to be significantly upregulated about 20-fold in S-AKI patients, and it also increased by 1.9 times in the renal tissue of S-AKI mice. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that miR-16-5p had the highest predictive accuracy in the diagnosis of S-AKI (AUC = 0.9188). In vitro, the expression level of miR-16-5p in HK-2 cells treated with 10 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased by more than 2 times. In addition, LPS-exposed renal tissue and HK-2 cells lead to upregulation of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-a, and kidney damage molecules kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). However, inhibition of miR-16-5p significantly mitigated LPS expose-mediated kidney injury and inflammation. Furthermore, LPS-exposed HK-2 cells increased more than 1.7-fold the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3, decreased 3.2-fold the expression level of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and significantly promoted the occurrence of apoptosis. MiR-16-5p mimic further increased LPS-induced apoptosis in HK-2 cells. Nevertheless, inhibition of miR-16-5p significantly attenuated this effect. In summary, up-regulation of miR-16-5p expression can significantly aggravate renal injury and apoptosis in S-AKI, which also proves that miR-16-5p can be used as a potential biomarker to promote early identification of S-AKI.
