Abstract:
Objective:To explore and analyze the correlation between miR-31 in peripheral blood and oxidative stress indicators of diabetic nephropathy.Methods:A total of 94 patients with diabetic nephropathy who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from September 2019 to September 2020 were selected. Patients were divided into mild diabetic nephropathy [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 60-90 ml/min, 36 cases] group, moderate diabetic nephropathy (eGFR 30-60 ml/min, 27 cases) group and severe diabetic nephropathy (eGFR 0-30 ml/min, 31 cases) group according to the severity of the disease, and 30 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group. Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and other oxidative stress indicators, as well as serum urea nitrogen, creatinine and glomerular filtration rate. Pearson was used to analyze the correlation between peripheral blood miR-31 and oxidative stress indexes and renal function.Results:The expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood of patients with diabetic nephropathy was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood of patients in severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy group was significantly lower than that in the mild diabetic nephropathy group (all P<0.05), with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum miR-31 expression was negatively correlated with the severity of diabetic nephropathy ( r=-0.526, P<0.05). The levels of serum MDA, SOD and AOPP in the diabetic nephropathy group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the levels of serum MDA, SOD and AOPP in the severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy groups were higher than those in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the diabetic nephropathy group were higher than those in the control group, and the glomerular filtration rate was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in the severe and moderate diabetic nephropathy group were higher than those in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, while the level of glomerular filtration rate was lower than that in the mild diabetic nephropathy group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood was negatively correlated with the levels of MDA, SOD, AOPP, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen (all P<0.05), but positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of miR-31 in peripheral blood gradually decreases with the severity of renal damage. Its level is negatively correlated with oxidative stress indicators of diabetic nephropathy, and positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate, which can be used for for clinical treatment and disease evaluation.
