AbstractTGF-β/Smad signaling plays a role in fibrogenesis, but therapies targeting TGF-β are ineffective in treating renal fibrosis. Here, we explored the therapeutic potential of targeting TGF-β-induced microRNA in the progression of renal fibrosis. Microarray analysis and real-time PCR revealed upregulation of miR-21 in tubular epithelial cells (TECs) in response to TGF-β. Lack of Smad3, but not lack of Smad2, prevented cells from upregulating miR-21 in response to TGF-β. In addition, Smad3-deficient mice were protected from upregulation of miR-21 and fibrosis in the unilateral ureteral obstruction model. In contrast, conditional knockout of Smad2 enhanced miR-21 expression and renal fibrosis. Furthermore, ultrasound-microbubble- mediated gene transfer of a miR-21-knockdown plasmid halted the progression of renal fibrosis in established obstructive nephropathy. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that Smad3, but not Smad2, signaling increases expression of miR-21, which promotes renal fibrosis. Inhibition of miR-21 may be a therapeutic approach to suppress renal fibrosis. Copyright © 2011 by the American Society of Nephrology.
