Absence of Long Noncoding RNA H19 Promotes Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome through Inhibiting ADCK4 Signal.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a common chronic kidney disease in children characterized by a group of clinical symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, high edema, and hyperlipidemia. Despite the tremendous efforts already made, the diagnosis for nephrotic syndrome still remains poor in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS The blood samples from 30 healthy children and 30 children with nephrotic syndrome were collected. The expression of H19 and ADCK4 (which are genes recently identified to play key roles in the development of nephrotic syndrome) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression of ADCK4 was also detected by RT-qPCR or western blot when H19 was overexpressed or knocked
