MiR-92a-3p Promotes Renal Injury and Fibrosis Through Facilitating M1 Macrophage Polarization via Targeting LIN28A.
Article in Physiological research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Infiltrated and activated M1 macrophages play a role in kidney injury and fibrosis during chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. However, the specific ways that M1 macrophage polarization contributes to renal fibrosis are not fully understood. The study seeks to investigate how miR-92a-3p regulates M1 macrophage polarization and its connection to renal fibrosis in the development of CKD. Our results revealed that miR-92a-3p overexpression increased M1-macrophage activation, iNOS, IL-6, and TNF-alpha expression in RAW264.7 upon LPS stimulation. LIN28A overexpression reversed these effects. Moreover, miR-92a-3p overexpression in RAW264.7 exacerbated NRK-52E cell apoptosis induced by LPS, but LIN28A overexpression counteracted this effect. MiR-92a-3p knockout in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) C57BL/6 mice led to reduced renal infiltration and fibrosis, accompanied by decreased iNOS, alpha-SMA, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and increased LIN28A. In summary, our findings suggest that miR-92a-3p may play a role in promoting renal injury and fibrosis both in vitro and in vivo. This effect is potentially achieved by facilitating M1 macrophage polarization through the targeting of LIN28A.
