Abstract: Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of cardiorenal syndrome(CRS) based on the effect of exosome miR155 on apoptosis of cardiorenal cells in rats with CRS by regulating p38MAPK signaling pathway.
Methodology:SpragueDawley rats were randomly divided into control group, model group for 3 weeks, model group for 4 weeks, model group for 5 weeks, and model group for 6 weeks.Each group received 10 rats with intraperitoneal injection of normal saline or doxorubicin.Histomorphological changes were observed by HE staining.Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography.Serum NTpro BNP and KIM1 were detected by ELISA.Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.EXO Quick kit was used to extract plasma exosomes and detect them quantitatively.RTPCR, Westernblot  were used to detect expressions of p38MAPK mRNA, miR155, p38MAPK and pp38MAPK in heart and kidney tissue.The apoptosis of heart and kidney was detected by TUNEL.
Results:Cardiac and renal function of rats in each group decreased after model establishment.Compared with the blank group,PP38 in the heart increased in the 4week group and the 5week group (P<005),6week group (P<001).Compared with the blank group,the kidney PP38 increased in the 4week group,the 5week group and the 6week group (P<001).Compared with the blank group,the apoptotic rate of heart and kidney cells increased in the 3week group,the 4week group,the 5week group and the 6week group (P<001); the plasma exosome content decreased in the 4week group,the 5week group and the 6week group (P<001); the exosome miR155 decreased in the 3week group,the 4week group,the 5week group and the 6week group (P<001),and the miR155 decreased in the heart and kidney tissue (P<001).
Conclusion:
The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK plays a key role in the apoptosis of cardiac and renal cells in CRS rats,and the exosome miR155 may play a regulatory role.
