Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are confirmed to be involved in modulating diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present study is aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 15 (SNHG15) on pediatric DN. Human glomerular mesangial cells (HGMCs) were exposed to high glucose (HG) to produce an in vitro model. The results showed that SNHG15 was remarkably up-regulated in pediatric DN tissues and HG-induced HGMCs. Functional experiments indicated that both silencing of SNHG15 and overexpression of miR-141 elevated the cell viability, and suppressed the inflammation in HG-induced HGMCs. SNHG15 was identified to be a lncRNA that could bind to miR-141, and ICAM-1 was a downstream target gene of miR-141. Both the low expression of miR-141 and high expression of ICAM-1 reversed the inhibiting effect of SNHG15 knockdown on inflammatory response, and the promoting effect on cell viability. To conclude, our study revealed that silencing of SNHG15 ameliorated the malignant behaviors of pediatric DN via modulating the miR-141/ICAM-1 axis in vitro.

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used as a powerful tool in gene therapy to downregulate the expression of specific disease related genes. Some properties however, such as instability, and low penetration into cells can limit their efficacy, and thus reduce their therapeutic potential. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which consist of organic bridging ligands and metal cations (Zn), have a very high binding affinity with nucleic acids including siRNAs.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and several proteins have been identified as entry factors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, whether long noncoding RNAs are involved in SARS-CoV-2 entry remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of small nucleolar RNA host gene 15 (SNHG15) in SARS-CoV-2 entry using a SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudotyped lentivirus with a luciferase reporter.
