Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal miR-21a-5p alleviates renal fibrosis by attenuating glycolysis by targeting PFKM

Abstract: Renal fibrosis is a common pathological feature and outcome of almost all chronic kidney diseases, and it is characterized by metabolic reprogramming toward aerobic glycolysis. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) have been proposed as a promising therapeutic approach for renal fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of MSC-Exos on glycolysis and the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that MSC-Exos significantly ameliorated unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO)-induced renal fibrosis… Show more

“…However, exosomes can positively or negatively exert modulatory effects, depending on their origin and cargo. Indeed, emerging evidence has suggested the therapeutic effects of MSC-derived exosomes [31][32][33]. Furthermore, through high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs in exosomes, we screened for the increased expression of miR-216a-5p, with a gene enrichment analysis revealing the involvement of the target gene of TLR4 in the in ammatory pathways, implying the hepatoprotective effect of miR-216a-5p.…”

“…Epigenetic therapies represent promising alternatives to slow down renal fibrosis progression as they can target pathways present in fibrotic niches, which refer to the microenvironments where scarring occurs [112]. Several ncRNAs, such as miR-29b [114], miR-122a [115], miR-21a-5p [116], lncRNA CRNDE as well as miR-29a-3p [117], and miR-26a-5p [118], have been shown to attenuate renal fibrosis. Therefore, they have the potential to be targeted through therapeutic approaches in order to treat renal fibrosis.…”

“…The miR-21a-5p carried by BMMSC EVs can effectively suppress the expression of phosphofructokinase muscle isoform, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, thereby reducing glycolytic activity in TECs. Consequently, this mechanism contributes to the amelioration of renal fibrosis in UUO mice ( Xu et al, 2022 ).…”
