Psoralen alleviates high glucose-induced HK-2 cell injury by inhibition of Smad 2 signaling via upregulation of microRNA 874

Abstract: Abstract Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) causes the vast proportion of excess mortality for patients with diabetes. Novel therapeutic approaches slowing down its incidence is still lacking. Psoralen is the major active ingredient of Psoralea corylifolia Linn. (PCL), which was used to treat a number of diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether psoralen could alleviate DN using in vitro Show more

“…However, in contrast to our finding, downregulation of miR-874-3p was observed in the in vitro mouse podocytes model, leading to upregulation of its target toll-like receptor 4 resulting in overexpression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-, tumour necrosis factor-α, and IL-1b [33]. Similar downregulation of miR-874-3p was shown in hyperglycaemia-treated human kidney-2 cells, which was reversed by administration of psoralen, leading to reduction in inflammatory cytokines and extracellular accumulation toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa beta and Smad2 signalling pathway [34]. Downregulation of miR-874-3p was also reported in non-DKD conditions, such as in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and cell lines, implicating signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 as its downstream target, affecting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion [35].…”
