The effect of exosomes on receptor cells participating in intercellular communication has been extensively studied, but the effect of exosomes on donor cells remains unclear. It has been reported that exosomes secreted by renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) under different stimuli accelerate acute and chronic kidney diseases. This study aimed to explore whether inhibiting exosomal secretion in PTECs by knocking out Rab27a, a key exosome regulatory gene, inhibits the excessive inflammatory response in PTECs and delays diabetic kidney disease (DKD). First, we proved that the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-induced inflammatory response in HK-2 cells was inhibited by knocking out Rab27a and that Rab27a, IL-6, TNF-alpha and COL-1 expression was markedly increased in an HFD/STZ-induced diabetic mouse model. Furthermore, miR-26a-5p expression in exosomes secreted by BSA-treated HK-2 cells was significantly increased but correspondingly decreased in the cells; after knocking out Rab27a, miR-26a-5p levels in the cells rebounded. Next, we confirmed that a miR-26a-5p mimic suppressed the inflammatory response, while a miR-26a-5p inhibitor accelerated the inflammatory response. Then, we found that miR-26a-5p targets the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of CHAC1. Furthermore, the inflammatory response and NF-kappa B signalling pathway activation induction by the miR-26a-5p inhibitor were abolished by CHAC1 knockout. Therefore, we conclude that inhibiting exosome secretion by BSA-induced PTECs promotes miR-26a-5p expression in cells, thereby inhibiting the CHAC1/NF-kappa B pathways to prevent the inflammatory response in PTECs and delaying the development of DKD. This study provides new insight into the pathogenic mechanism of exosomes and a new therapeutic target for DKD.
