ABSTRACT

Podocyte apoptosis is a key risk factor for the progression of kidney diseases. MicroRNA (miR)-199b-5p has been shown to be involved in cell apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanisms of miR-199b-5p in podocyte apoptosis remain uncertain. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate whether miR-199b-5p participates in the regulation of podocyte apoptosis and to elucidate the involved mechanisms of this process. A podocyte apoptosis model was constructed using adriamycin (ADR) in vitro. miR-199b-5p mimic and inhibitor were transfected in podocytes to change the expression level of miR-199b-5p. RNA expression was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Western blotting was used to measure protein expression. Apoptosis was monitored via flow cytometry and detection of apoptosis-associated proteins. The results from the present s tudy demonstrated that miR-199b-5p was upregulated and that regulator of G-protein signaling 10 (RGS10) was downregulated in ADR-stimulated podocytes. Overexpression of miR-199b-5p could inhibit RGS10 expression and stimulate podocyte apoptosis, whereas miR-199b-5p knockdown restored the levels of RGS10 and ameliorated podocyte apoptosis in ADR-induced podocytes. Furthermore, the effects of miR-199b-5p overexpression could be significantly reversed by RGS10 overexpression. In addition, podocyte transfection of miR-199b-5p activated the AKT/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which was blocked following RGS10 overexpression. Taken together, the present study demonstrated that miR-199b-5p upregulation could promote podocyte apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of RGS10 through the activation of AKT/mTOR signaling.
