    Author:Jiang Dan Xiong Jinhe Shang Hua Wang Jiali He Fang keyword: Lupus nephritis; Long-chain non-coding ribonucleic acid taurine up-regulated gene 1; Tiny ribonucleic acid-144; Disease activity; Prognosis;
    Objective To analyze the relationship between serum long-chain non-coding ribonucleic acid taurine up-regulation gene 1(lncRNA TUG1) and microribonucleic acid-144(miR-144) expression and the prognosis of LN patients with lupus nephritis(LN). Methods A total of 104 LN patients admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Suining Central Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the LN group, and they were divided into 36 subgroups with poor prognosis and 68 cases with good prognosis according to whether end-stage renal disease(ESRD) occurred during the follow-up period, and 40 healthy patients with physical examination during the same period were selected as the healthy control group. The expression of serum lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction kit. The binding sites of lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144 were predicted by TargetScan, and the correlation between serum lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144 expression in LN patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in LN patients, and receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curves were used to analyze the predictive value of serum lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144 expression in poor prognosis of LN patients. Results Compared with the healthy control group, the expression of serum lncRNA TUG1 in the LN group decreased and the expression of miR-144 increased(t/P=15.885/<0.001 and 15.808/<0.001). The TargetScan website predicted that there was a binding site between lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum lncRNA TUG1 was negatively correlated with miR-144 expression in LN patients(r=-0.797, P<0.001). After 2 years of follow-up, the incidence of ESRD in 104 patients with LN was 34.62%(36/104). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that stage 4 of chronic kidney disease and elevated miR-144 were independent risk factors for poor renal prognosis in patients with LN [OR(95%CI)=1.197(1.062~1.349), 1.108(1.047~1.172)], complete remission after induction therapy and estimated glomerular filtration rate and elevated lncRNA TUG1 were independent protective factors [OR(95%CI)=0.305(0.101-0.923), 0.979(0.960-0.998), 0.841(0.750-0.943)], ROC curve analysis showed that the expression of serum lncRNA TUG1 and miR-144 and the area under the curve(AUC) of the two combined predictions of poor renal prognosis in LN patients were 0.772, 0.773 and 0.911, respectively, and the AUC predicted by the two was the largest(Z/P=3.239/0.001、3.247/0.001).Conclusion The low expression of serum lncRNA TUG1 and the high expression of miR-144 in LN patients were associated with poor renal prognosis, and the combined value of the two in predicting the poor renal prognosis of LN was higher.

    Author:Zhao Quan Bi Weijian Li Pingping Liu Yang Yuan Jizhen Zhu Binwei Sheng Shujie keyword: End stage renal disease; Hemodialysis; MicroRNA-155; MicroRNA-182;
    Objective To investigate the expression and significance of microRNAs miR-155 and miR-182 in serum of hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease. Methods A total of 112 patients with end-stage renal disease who received diagnosis and treatment and underwent hemodialysis in the 971st Navy Hospital, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, and Qingdao Haici Hospital from May 2019 to May 2022 were collected as the end-stage renal disease group, and 112 healthy patients who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the healthy control group. Real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of serum miR-155 and miR-182. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum miR-155 and miR-182 levels in patients with end-end renal disease. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors of the prognosis of dialysis patients with end-end renal disease. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum miR-155 and miR-182 expression levels in the prognosis of hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease. Results The serum expression levels of miR-155 and miR-182 in the end-renal disease group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group(t/P=12.719/<0.001, 27.901/<0.001). There were no significant differences in the ratio of males and females, age, BMI, proportion of primary disease, dialysis time, serum phosphorus(P), total cholesterol(TC), triacylglycerol(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) between the two subgroups(P>0.05), and compared with the survival subgroup, the hemoglobin(Hb) and albumin(Alb) of the death subgroup were significantly reduced(t/P=15.069/<0.001, 9.629/<0.001), serum calcium(Ca) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and serum miR-155 and miR-182 were increased(t/P=21.174/<0.001, 40.68/<0.001, 6.629/<0.001, 8.497/<0.001). The serum expressions of miR-155 and miR-182 in hemodialysis patients with end-end renal disease were positively correlated(r=0.516, P<0.001). Low Hb, high serum Ca, high hs-CRP, high Alb, high miR-155, and high miR-182 were independent risk factors for the prognosis of dialysis patients with end-renal disease [OR(95%CI)=3.189(1.052-9.670), 4.387(1.175-16.375), 5.527(1.220-25.048), 2.058(1.251-3.386), 5.561(2.413-12.817), 3.189(1.052-9.670)]; The area under the curve(AUC) of serum miR-155 and miR-182 and their combination were 0.827, 0.793 and 0.956, respectively, which were better than those predicted by serum miR-155 and miR-182 separately(Z/P=2.251/0.024, 2.797/0.005). Conclusion The serum expression levels of miR-155 and miR-182 in hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease are elevated, and the combination of miR-155 and miR-182 may better predict the prognosis of hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease.
