In this study, we further explored the effects of miR34a-MV on renal fibrosis in the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) models. Methods. Bone marrow MSCs were modified by lentiviruses overexpressing miR-34a, and MVs were collected from the supernatants of MSCs. C57BL6/J mice were divided into control, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), UUO + MV, UUO + miR-34aMV and UUO + miR-34a-inhibitor-MV groups. MVs were injected to mice after surgery. The mice were then euthanized on day 7 and 14 of modeling, and renal tissues were collected for further analyses by Hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, and Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Results. The UUO + MV group exhibited a significantly reduced degree of renal interstitial fibrosis with inflammatory cell infiltration, tubular epithelial cell atrophy, and vacuole degeneration compared with the UUO group. Surprisingly, overexpressing miR-34a enhanced these effects of MSC-MV on the UUO mice. Conclusion. Our study demonstrates that miR34a further enhances the effects of MSC-MV on renal fibrosis in mice through the regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Notch pathway. miR-34a may be a candidate molecular therapeutic target for the treatment of renal fibrosis.

Given the highly effective treatments now available to prevent or delay kidney disease onset and progression, this is far too long. The time is now to narrow the gap between what we know and what we do. Clear guidelines exist for the prevention and management of common risk factors for kidney disease, such as hypertension and diabetes, but only a fraction of people with these conditions worldwide are diagnosed, and even fewer are treated to target. Similarly, the vast majority of people living with kidney disease are unaware of their condition, because in the early stages it is often silent. Even among patients who have been diagnosed, many do not receive appropriate treatment for kidney disease. Considering the serious consequences of kidney disease progression, kidney failure, or death, it is imperative that treatments are initiated early and appropriately. Opportunities to diagnose and treat kidney disease early must be maximized beginning at the primary care level. Many systematic barriers exist, ranging from patient to clinician to health systems to societal factors. To preserve and improve kidney health for everyone everywhere, each of these barriers must be acknowledged so that sustainable solutions are developed and implemented without further delay.
