Arid2-IR promotes NF-κB-mediated renal inflammation by targeting NLRC5 transcription.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence shows that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in a variety of disorders including kidney diseases. It is well recognized that inflammation is the initial step of kidney injury and is largely mediated by nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. We had previously identified lncRNA-Arid2-IR is an inflammatory lncRNA associated with NF-κB-mediated renal injury. In this study, we examined the regulatory mechanism through which Arid2-IR activates NF-κB signaling. We found that Arid2-IR was differentially expressed in response to various kidney injuries and was induced by transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1). Using RNA sequencing and luciferase assays, we found that Arid2-IR regulated the activity of NF-κB signal via NLRC5-dependent mechanism. Arid2-IR
