Abstract:

Objective

To explore the miRNA-193a expression in urine exosomes of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients, and to lay the foundation for studying the role of urinary exosomes miRNA in development of IMN.

Methods

Age and gender-matched IMN patients and normal control were selected and divided into IMN nephrotic syndrome group, IMN remission group, and normal control group with 14 cases each. Urine exosomes of IMN nehprotic patients, IMN complete or partial remission patients, and heathy controls were isolated by ExoQuick Exosome precipitaion solution. Exosomal RNA was extracted by Trizol kits. The expression of miRNA-193a and miRNA-168a were measured by real-time qRT-PCR.

Results

The urine exosome miRNA-193a expression of IMN patients was much higher than that of healthy controls (relative expression ratio 4.30 ± 0.66 vs 1.00, P<0.05). Meanwhile, the urine exosomal miRNA-193a expression of IMN nehprotic patients was significantly higher than that of IMN complete or partial remission patients (relative expression ratio 6.07±0.72 vs 2.54±0.43, P<0.05).

Conclusions

The urine exosome miRNA-193a expression of IMN patients was much higher than that of healthy controls, and downregulated as remission was achieved. The results suggested that miRNA-193a might play a role in the pathogenesis of IMN.
