Podocytes are important components of the glomerular filtration barrier and glucose metabolism, including glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, is crucial for maintaining podocyte physiological function. Aberrant energy metabolism has been reported in proteinuria diseases, including diabetic nephropathy. However, altering energy states in podocytes in IMN remain unknown. The study aimed to determine whether sPLA2-IB induces energy metabolism abnormalities in podocytes. Cultured podocytes were treated with sPLA2-IB. siRNAs were used to knockdown expression of HIF-1α and PLA2R. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, the oxygen consumption rate and lactate content were assessed. Key enzyme of glycolysis, PKM2 and LDHA, TCA cycle-related enzymes and mTOR/HIF-1α pathway, were analyzed by PCR and immunoblotting. MTT assay was used for cell viability and phalloidin for cytoskeleton staining. sPLA2-IB induced insufficient energy states in podocytes, by decreased ATP production, increased lactate accumulation and reduced oxygen consumption rates. Under sPLA2-IB stimulation, LDHA and PKM2 were increased, while TCA cycle-related enzymes (CS, FH and SDHD) were decreased, with upregulated mTOR and HIF-1α. Mechanically, HIF-1α knockdown mitigated sPLA2-IB -induced LDHA upregulation and downregulated TCA cycle-related enzymes. Rapamycin (inhibitor of mTOR) reversed decreased ATP levels and oxygen consumption. 3-MA (activator of mTOR) aggravated lactate production. PLA2R knockdown reversed PKM2 and LDHA upregulation, FH and SDHD downregulation, and increased mTOR and HIF-1α expression. PLA2R activation by sPLA2-IB caused abnormal energy states in podocytes.

At high concentrations, ouabain blocks Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> ion transport by Na,K-ATPase, whereas at low concentrations, it activates the signaling function of the enzyme.

Recently, we demonstrated that several miRNAs are differentially expressed in patients with relapsed and newly diagnosed APL; for example, miR-140-3p is significantly downregulated in patients with relapsed APL. In this study, via a dual luciferase assay, we verified that one of the direct target genes of miR-140-3p is hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). After different lentiviruses were transfected into NB4 cells, and flow cytometry and proliferation assays confirmed that low expression of miR-140-3p inhibited the differentiation and apoptosis of NB4 cells and induced proliferation by promoting cell cycle progression. In summary, our findings suggest that hepatocyte growth factor is a target gene of miR-140-3p. Moreover, upregulation of miR-140-3p expression in APL cells inhibits cell proliferation, arrests cell cycle progression, and promotes apoptosis and cell differentiation.

PMEPA1 and neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated gene 4L (NEDD4L) levels in MM cells were examined. In RPMI-8226 cells with PMEPA1 overexpression or/and NEDD4L knockdown, cell proliferation, cycle distribution and apoptosis were evaluated with the application of CCK-8, EDU staining and flow cytometry. The BioGrid website and HDOCK SERVER were applied for predicting the binding between PMEPA1 and NEDD4L, which was checked by co-immunoprecipitation. Besides, the levels of proteins associated with proliferation (Ki67 and PCNA), apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bax and cleaved caspase3) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling (β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1) was detected with immunoblotting. Finally, LiCl, an activator of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, was employed to treat RPMI-8226 cells to analyze the proliferation, cycle distribution and apoptosis of MM cells. As a result, PMEPA1 and NEDD4L were expressed at low levels in MM cells. PMEPA1 upregulation repressed proliferation induced cycle arrest and facilitated apoptosis of MM cells.

We observed a concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation, particularly at 40 mg/dL and 50 mg/dL UA. The autophagy marker LC3 exhibited reduced fluorescence intensity post-UA treatment, along with decreased expression of LC3-II/LC3I, beclin1, and p62, indicating impaired autophagy. The mechanistic exploration revealed that HCQ, in conjunction with the mitochondrial autophagy inhibitor Cyclosporine A (CsA), exacerbated the inhibitory effects of UA on HUVEC autophagy. This was evidenced by a further reduction in mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins and diminished fluorescence of LC3-II/LC3-I and Parkin, culminating in suppressed cell proliferation and accelerated cell senescence and apoptosis. Conversely, the co-treatment with the mitochondrial autophagy inducer carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine (CCCP) and HCQ mitigated the detrimental effects of UA on HUVEC autophagy.
