Circulating Expression and Clinical Significance of LncRNA ANRIL in Diabetic Kidney Disease
Molecular biology reports(2022)
Abstract
Long noncoding RNA ANRIL has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and is expected to be a new target for prevention of DKD. However, the circulating expression and clinical significance of ANRIL in DKD patients is uncertain. This study aims to explore this issue. The study consisted of 20 healthy controls, 22 T2DM patients (normalbuminuria) and 66 DKD patients (grouped as follows: microalbuminuria, n = 23; macroalbuminuria, n = 22 and renal dysfunction, n = 21). The expressions of ANRIL in peripheral whole blood of all participants were measured by RT-qPCR. The expression of ANRIL was significantly up-regulated in DKD patients (microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria and renal dysfunction groups) than that in healthy control group. ANRIL was also over-expressed in macroalbuminuria and renal dysfunction groups in comparison with normalbuminuria group. ANRIL expression was positively correlated with Scr, BUN, CysC, urine β2-MG and urine α1-MG; while negatively correlated with eGFR in DKD patients. In addition, ANRIL was the risk factor for DKD with OR value of 1.681. The AUC of ANRIL in identifying DKD was 0.922, and the sensitivity and specificity of DKD diagnosis were 83.3
