LncRNA ENSMUST_147219 mediates the progression of ischemic acute kidney injury by targeting the miR-221-5p/IRF6 axis.

ABSTRACT: Although previous studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the progression of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), the exact role and mechanism of lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 in ischemic AKI are not clear. In the present study, lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 was induced by ischemic injury in vitro and in vivo. Functionally, lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 mediated apoptosis in mouse proximal tubule-derived cell line (BUMPT). Mechanistically, lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 sponged the microRNA (miR)-221-5p to upregulate the expression of interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) to drive apoptosis. Finally, knockdown of lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 markedly attenuated the ischemic AKI by targeting the miR-221-5p/IRF6 axis. Collectively, our data demonstrated that lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 promoted the development o
