目的探讨微RNA-21(miR-21)对脯氨酸羟化酶2(proline hydroxylase domain2,PHD2)的调控作用,及其对肾脏晚期缺血预适应(ischemic preconditioning,IPC)小鼠的保护作用。方法建立肾脏晚期缺血预适应小鼠模型,分为两组:(1)缺血再灌注组(IR组):假手术后第4天双侧肾蒂夹闭35min后恢复灌注;(2)缺血预适应组(IPC组):第1天双侧肾蒂夹闭15min,手术第4天处理同IR组。于术后第5天处死所有小鼠,留取血液及肾脏标本。HE染色观察肾组织病理变化;常规生化检测血肌酐(Scr)变化;实时荧光定量PCR法检测。肾脏miR-21表达;Western印迹法检测肾组织PHD2和低氧诱导因子1α(HIF—1α)蛋白表达变化。体外给予人肾小管上皮细胞(HK.2)1%O2处理6h,采用Lipofectamine2000法转染锁核酸(LNA)修饰的anti-miR-21寡核苷酸抑制miR-21表达,实时荧光定量PCR法检测细胞miR-21、PHD2以及HIF—1α mRNA表达;Western印迹法检测细胞PHD2与HIF—1α蛋白表达。结果体内实验结果发现,与IR组相比,IPC组小鼠血肌酐和肾组织病理损伤有明显改善(均P〈0.01);与IR组相比,IPC组小鼠肾组织miR,21表达上调(P〈0.01);PHD2蛋白表达下调(P〈0.05),HIF—1α蛋白表达上调(P〈0.05)。体外HK-2细胞低氧模型实验结果提示,抑制细胞miR-21表达可致PHD2蛋白水平明显升高(P〈0.05)。结论miR-21对PHD2具有负向调控作用。晚期IPC可能通过诱导miR-21表达,减少PHD2表达,间接上调HIF-1α,对肾脏缺血再灌注损伤起到保护作用。
Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of protection of ischemia preconditioning on renal isehemia reperfusion injury. Methods Male C57/BL6N mice were randomly divided into two groups: in IR group, 35 min ischemia was induced by occlusion of both renal pedieles followed by 24 h perfusion (I/R). 15 min isehemia was induced 4 days before I/R in IPC group. Blood sample and kidney were collected in IR and IPC group after 24 h perfusion. Serum creatinine (Scr) and histological changes were used to evaluate the renal injury. PHD2 and HIF- 1α were evaluated by Western blotting, miR- 21 expression was confirmed by real-time PCR. In vitro, hypoxic model was established by 1% O2 in HK-2 cells. Knockdown of miR-21 in hypoxic model was perfermed by locked nucleic acid modified-anti-miR-21 transfection. The levels of miR-21, HIF-letand PHD2 mRNA were confirmed by real-time PCR. The levels of HIF-1α and PHD2 proteins were tested by Western blotting. Results In vivo, Compared with IR group, the renal function and histological changes were improved in IPC group (P 〈 0.01). Compared with IR group, the expression of miR-21(P 〈 0.01) and HIF-lct (P 〈 0.05) were increased in IPC group, while PHD2 was reduced (P 〈 0.01). In vitro, hypoxia reduced miR-21. The inhibition of miR-21 could increased the expression of PHD2 (P〈 0.05). Conclusions Ischemia preconditioning may exert protection against renal ischemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting PHD2.
