The role of methylation of 9 miRNA genes in the pathogenesis of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma was determined by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR). For 5 genes (MIR125B-1, MIR137, MIR193A, MIR34B/C, and MIR375), a significant correlation of high methylation level with late (III-IV) stages, large size (T3+T4) of the tumor, and metastasis to lymph nodes and/or distant organs was revealed. For another group of genes (MIR125B-1, MIR1258, MIR193A, MIR34B/C, and MIR375), a statistically significant correlation of high methylation level with loss of differentiation in the tumor (G3-G4) was found, and the opposite pattern was found for MIR203A. A total of 7 microRNA genes (MIR125B-1, MIR1258, MIR137, MIR193A, MIR203A, MIR34B/C, and MIR375) were identified, the methylation of which is associated with the progression of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. For 6 of them (except MIR34B/C) these data were obtained for the first time. Thus, new factors of the development and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma were identified as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: The involvement of microRNA-668 (miR-668) in the onset and progression of renal fibrosis remains unclear. To this end, we aimed to explore the relevant mechanism of miR-668 in renal fibrosis.
Methods: C57BL/6 J male mice were randomly divided into sham-operated, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), and UUO-fenofibrate groups.

Long non-coding RNA TMC3-AS1 is identified to be upregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in inflammatory disease, but its role in acute kidney injury (AKI) is almost unknown. The study investigated the involvement of TMC3-AS1 in LPS-induced AKI and its downstream molecular regulatory mechanism. Our data suggested that knocking down TMC3-AS1 significantly reduced renal dysfunction, tissue inflammation and tissue damage in LPS-induced mice, and promoted cell viability, inhibited inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis in LPS-stimulated human renal tubular epithelial cells HK2.

The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), driven by ubiquitin as a degradation signal, eliminates, in a highly specific manner, 'abnormal' proteins and proteins that completed their function. This process involves a hierarchical cascade of E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The E3 ubiquitin ligases, act as specific receptors that bind their cognate substrates.

Background: Adoptive transfer of autologous regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a promising therapeutic strategy aimed at enabling immunosuppression minimization following kidney transplantation. In our phase 1 clinical trial of Treg therapy in living donor renal transplantation, the ONE Study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02129881), we observed focal lymphocytic infiltrates in protocol kidney transplant biopsies that are not regularly seen in biopsies of patients receiving standard immunosuppression.

Renorrhaphy is often performed after tumor resection during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to investigate the association between renorrhaphy performance and inflammatory markers. A retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at eight institutions in Japan between April 2016 and November 2023.
