LNA-anti-miR-150 alleviates renal interstitial fibrosis by reducing pro-inflammatory M1/M2 macrophage polarization.

ABSTRACT: Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathological feature contributing to chronic injury and maladaptive repair following acute kidney injury. Currently, there is no effective therapy for RIF. We have reported that locked nuclear acid (LNA)-anti-miR-150 antagonizes pro-fibrotic pathways in human renal tubular cells by regulating the suppressor of cytokine signal 1 (SOCS1)/Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. In the present study, we aimed to clarify whether LNA-anti-miR-150 attenuates folic acid-induced RIF mice by regulating this pathway and by reducing pro-inflammatory M1/M2 macrophage polarization. We found that renal miR-150 was upregulated in folic acid-induced RIF mice at day 30 after injection. LNA-anti-miR-150 alleviated the d
