BackgroundPrevious studies showed that microRNA-29b (miR-29b) inhibits renal fibrosis. Therefore, miR-29b replacement therapy represents a promising approach for treating renal fibrosis. However, an efficient method of kidney-targeted miRNA delivery has yet to be established. Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors have great potential for clinical application. For kidney-targeted gene delivery, the most suitable AAV serotype has yet to be established. Here, we identified the most suitable AAV serotype for kidney-targeted gene delivery and determined that AAV-mediated miR-29b delivery can suppress renal fibrosis in vivo.MethodTo determine which AAV serotype is suitable for kidney cells, GFP-positive cells were identified by flow cytometry after the infection of rAAV serotype 1–9 vectors containing theEGFPgene. Next, we injected rAAV vectors into the renal pelvis to determine transduction efficiency in vivo. GFP expression was measured seven days after injecting rAAV serotype 1–9 vectors carrying theEGFPgene. Finally, we investigated whether rAAV6-mediated miR-29b delivery can suppress renal fibrosis in UUO mouse model.ResultsWe found that rAAV6 vector is the most suitable for targeting kidney cells regardless of animal species in vitro and rAAV6 is the most suitable vector for kidney-targeted in vivo gene delivery in mice. Intra-renal pelvic injection of rAAV vectors can transduce genes into kidney TECs. Furthermore, rAAV6-mediated miR-29b delivery attenuated renal fibrosis in UUO model by suppressingSnail1expression.ConclusionOur study has revealed that rAAV6 is the most suitable serotype for kidney-targeted gene delivery and rAAV6-mediated miR-29b delivery into kidney TECs can suppress established renal fibrosis.
