Abstract:
ob<x>jective:To explore the effect and mechanism of tRF-003634(tRNA-derived fragment 003634) on podocyte apoptosis in mice with adriamycin nephropathy . Methods:(1) BALB/c mice were used to establish a model of Adriamycin(10 mg/kg) nephropathy. 20 BALB/c mice were divided randomly into: control group, ADR group, ADR+tRF-003634 agomir group and ADR+tRF-003634 NC group(n=5). The serum biochemical indexes of mice in each group were detected, and the pathological changes of mice kidney were evaluated by HE and PAS staining ; The ex<x>pression level of TRF-003634 in each group was detected by Real-Time PCR; The protein ex<x>pressions of Caspase3, cleaved Caspase3 and p53 were detected by Western blot method. (2) Adriamycin (1 μg/mL) was used to induce podocyte apoptosis in vitro. Podocytes were divided into: control group, ADR group, ADR+tRF-003634 mimics group and ADR+tRF-003634 NC group according to different intervention factors. The Real-Time PCR method was used to detect the ex<x>pression level of tRF-003634 in each group; The relative ex<x>pression levels of caspase3, cleaved caspase3 and p53 in podocytes of each group were detected by Western blot method. (3) Podocytes were divided into: control group, ADR group, ADR+SB203580 group and SB203580 group. Western blot was used to detect the protein ex<x>pressions of p-p38MAPK and p-Hsp27 in each group, and Real-time PCR was used to detect the ex<x>pression of tRF-003634. Results:(1) Compared with the control group, the pathological changes of the ADR group increased significantly, the ex<x>pression level of tRF-003634 decreased, and the ex<x>pression levels of cleaved caspase3 and p53 increased significantly(P<0.05). Compared with the ADR group, the ADR+tRF-003634 agomir group mice 24h urine protein and serum urea nitrogen decreased significantly(P<0.05), and pathological changes were alleviated; The ex<x>pression level of tRF-003634 increased obviously, and cleaved caspase3 and p53 ex<x>pression levels were decreased obviously(P<0.05). (2) Compared with the control group, tRF-003634 decreased significantly in ADR podocytes, and the levels of cleaved caspase3 and p53 increased significantly(P<0.05). Compared with the ADR group, the ex<x>pression level of tRF-003634 in the tRF-003634 mimics group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the ex<x>pression levels of cleaved caspase3 and p53 decreased significantly (P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the ex<x>pressions of p-p38MAPK and p-Hsp27 in the ADR group were up-regulated, and the ex<x>pression of tRF-003634 was down-regulated(P<0.05). Compared with the ADR group, the protein ex<x>pressions of p-p38MAPK and p-Hsp27 in the ADR+SB203580 group decreased significantly, and the ex<x>pression of tRF-003634 increased(P<0.05). Conclusion:tRF-003634 can inhibit the apoptosis of podocytes and alleviate the renal pathological damage induced by adriamycin. tRF-003634 may act as a downstream effector molecule of MAPK pathway to improve podocyte apoptosis and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease
