[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the effect of interferon-α1b on improving EMT and fibrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in IgA nephropathy by inhibiting ZEB1/SIP1 signaling pathway through miR141. Methods MDCK cell model was used to verify the effects of interferon-α1b on miR-141 expression and ZEB1/SIP1 signaling pathway. Rats model of IgA nephropathy was established, and randomly divided into control group, model group, interferon-α1b (15, 30 μg) group, and prednisone group, with 8 rats in each group, for continuous treatment for 8 weeks. Renal function, levels of inflammatory factors, IgA deposition and renal pathological changes were monitored. The expression levels of miR-141, ZEB1, SIP1 and E-cadherin were analyzed. Results In vitro experiments showed that interferon-α1b could significantly up-regulate the expression of miR-141 in MDCK cells, and reduce the relative expression levels of ZEB1 and SIP1 proteins (P < 0.05). In the rat model of IgA nephropathy, compared the model group, the renal function of the rats in the interferon-α1b group was significantly improved, the secretion levels of inflammatory TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly decreased, the deposition of IgA was reduced, and the kidney injury was alleviated (P < 0.05). Interferon-α1b can induce significantly up-regulated miR-141 in rat kidney, inhibit the relative expression of ZEB1 and SIP1 proteins, up-regulate the relative expression of E-cadherin protein, and inhibit EMT and fibrosis in epithelial cells (P < 0.05). Conclusion Interferon-α1b effectively improves IgA nephropathy by upregulating the expression of miR-141 in the kidney, inhibiting the expression of transcription factors ZEB1 and SIP1, reducing the inhibition of E-cadherin, and ultimately inhibiting renal tubular epithelial cell EMT and fibrosis.
