Construction and Analysis of Immune Infiltration-Related ceRNA Network for Kidney Stones by Yuqi Xia, Xiangjun Zhou, Zehua Ye, Weimin Yu, Jinzhuo Ning, Yuan Ruan, Run Yuan, Fangyou Lin, Peng Ye, Di Zheng, Ting Rao, Fan Cheng

“…Nevertheless, M2 macrophage infiltration increased in early stages (day 6) and decreased as kidney stones progressed (day 12). Furthermore, treatment with 0.25 and 0.5 mM of oxalate for 48 h significantly upregulated NEAT1, PVT1, CCL7, and ROBO2 expression levels and downregulated hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-429, and hsa-miR-139-5p expression levels in the HK-2 cell line in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion: We found that significant expressions of ceRNAs (NEAT1, PVT1, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-429, hsa-miR-139-5p, CCL7, and ROBO2) and infiltrating immune cells (macrophages and mast cells) may be involved in kidney stone pathogenesis. …”
