MiR‑30a‑5p mitigates autophagy by regulating the Beclin‑1/ATG16 pathway in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT: Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury often occurs during multiple organ failure and sepsis, and autophagy may serve a role in I/R injury. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of microRNA (miR)‑30a‑5p on autophagy in renal I/R injury. miR‑30a‑5p and autophagy‑related protein expression levels in renal I/R injury mouse models and in hypoxia/re‑oxygenation HK‑2 cell models were determined using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR or western blotting; apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. The effects of miR‑30a‑5p, Beclin‑1 and autophagy‑related gene 16 (ATG16) on the proliferation and autophagy of HK‑2 cells were analyzed through gain‑ and loss‑of‑function studies. miR‑30a‑5p expression was significantly decreased after renal I/R injury in the in vivo and in vit
