microRNAs in kidney diseases: Regulation, therapeutics, and biomarker potential
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression by inhibiting the translation of their specific target messenger RNAs. To date, numerous studies have demonstrated changes in the expression of miRNAs in the kidneys throughout the progression of both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both human patients and experimental models. The role of specific microRNAs in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases has also been demonstrated. Further studies have elucidated the regulation of these microRNAs in diseased kidneys. Besides, certain miRNAs are detected in plasma and/or urine in kidney diseases and are potential diagnostic biomarkers. In this review, we provide an overview of recent developments in our understanding of how miRNAs contribute to kidney diseases. We also explore the potential of miRNAs as both biomarkers and therapeutic targets for these conditions, and highlight future research directions.
