Objective To explore the regulatory effect of long non-coding RNA HOX transcript anti-sense RNA(lnRNA HOTAIR)targeting tuberous sclerosis complex 1(TSC1)on podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods Mice podocyte MPC5 were divided into 6 groups:the control group,the high glucose group(the HG group),the HG+si-NC group,the HG+si-HOTAIR group,the HG+si-HOTAIR+sh-NC group,and the HG+si-HOTAIR+sh-TSC1 group.qPCR was used to detect the levels of lnRNA HO-TAIR and TSC1 mRNA.Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8),and apoptosis was detec-ted by flow cytometry.ELISA was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors[IL-6,tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α)]and the levels of oxidative stress indicators[reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)]were detected by corresponding reagent kit.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of lnRNA HOTAIR,apoptosis rate,IL-6,TNF-α,ROS and MDA in the HG group were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the levels of TSC1 mRNA,cell viability and SOD were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the HG+si-NC group,the levels of lnRNA HOTAIR,ap-optosis rate,IL-6,TNF-α,ROS and MDA in the HG+si-HOTAIR group significantly decreased(P<0.05),the levels of TSC1 mRNA,cell viability and SOD were significant increased(P<0.05).Compared with the HG+si-HOTAIR+sh-NC group,the levels of apoptosis rate,IL-6,TNF-α,ROS and MDA in the HG+si-HOTAIR+sh-TSC1 group were significantly increased(P<0.05),the levels of TSC1 mRNA,cell viability and SOD were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Silencing lnRNA HOTAIR can target TSC1 to regulate the activity,apoptosis rate,inflammatory level and oxidative stress levels of podocyte injury in DN,thereby alleviating podocyte damage in DN.
