Objective: To investigate the role of miR-101 targeting mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway in regulating podocyte autophagy in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy in mice. Methods: The adult male C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group, model group and rapamycin group with 10 mice in each group. Mice in the model group and rapamycin group were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (55 mg·kg-1) for 5 days, and the control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. One week after intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, mice in the rapamycin group were intraperitoneally injected with rapamycin (2 mg·kg-1), and mice in the control and model groups were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline, once every other day. After 12 weeks, the kidney tissue was stained with PAS, the podocyte damage and autophagy were observed by transmission electron microscope. At the same time, the expression of miR-101, Nephrin, LC3Ⅰ, LC3Ⅱ, mTOR and AMPK mRNA in the kidney tissue was detected. Results: The kidneys and podocyte foot processes of the mice in the control group were normal, and the kidneys of the model group mice were locally fused with balloons. Compared with the control group, the mesangial matrix in the model group was significantly increased, the basement membrane significantly thickened, and the foot processes were significantly widened and fused. Compared with the model group, the mesangial matrix of the kidney of mice in the rapamycin group was significantly reduced, the basement membrane thickening and foot process fusion significantly reduced, and the autophagosomes were significantly increased. Compared with the control group, the mesangial matrix area and level of mTOR mRNA in the model group and the rapamycin group were significantly increased, and the levels of Nephrin, LC3Ⅰ, LC3Ⅱ, miR-101 and AMPK mRNA were significantly reduced(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the mesangial matrix area and mTOR mRNA level of mice in the rapamycin group were significantly reduced, and the levels of Nephrin, LC3Ⅰ, LC3Ⅱ, miR-101 and AMPK mRNA significantly increased(P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-101 promotes podocyte autophagy in diabetic nephropathy mice by targeting mTOR signaling pathway, which provides a new strategy for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. |
