Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of RGC-32 (response gene to complement 32) on cell cycle progression in renal tubular epithelial cell injury. NRK-52E cells with overexpressed or silenced RGC-32 were constructed via transient transfection with RGC-32 expression plasmid and RGC-32 siRNA plasmid, and the cell cycle distribution was determined. The expression levels of fibrosis factors, including smooth muscle action (α-SMA), fibronectin (FN) and E-cadherin, were assessed in cells with silenced RGC-32. The cells were injured via TNF-α treatment, and the injury was detectable by the enhanced expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). RGC-32 expression also increased significantly. The number of cells at G2/M phase increased dramatically in RGC-32 silenced cells, indicating that RGC-32 silencing induced G2/M arrest. In addition, after treatment with TNF-α, the NRK-52E cells with silenced RGC-32 showed significantly increased expression of α-SMA and FN, but decreased expression of E-cadherin. The results of this study suggest that RGC-32 probably has an important impact on the repair process of renal tubular epithelial cells in vitro by regulating the G2/M phase checkpoint, cell fibrosis and cell adhesion. However, the exact mechanism needs to be further elucidated.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2017.
All research outputs
#15,469,838
of 22,988,380 outputs
Outputs from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#161
of 484 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,069
of 320,760 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
#3
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,988,380 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 484 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,760 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
