Accumulation of mesangial extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen
type 1-?2 (Col1a2) and collagen type 4-?1 (Col4a1) is a key feature of diabetic
nephropathy (DN). Transforming growth factor (TGF)-?1 plays important roles in
ECM accumulation in DN, and evidence shows a mediatory role for microRNAs. In the
present study, we found that microRNA let-7 family members (let-7b/c/d/g/i) were
downregulated in TGF-?-treated mouse mesangial cells (MMCs) along with
upregulation of Col1a2 and Col4a1. Ectopic expression of let-7b in TGF-?-treated
MMCs attenuated Col1a2 and Col4a1 upregulation. Conversely, let-7b inhibitors
increased Col1a2 and Col4a1 levels. Cotransfection of MMCs with mouse Col1a2 or
Col4a1 3'-untranslated region luciferase constructs and let-7b inhibitors
increased luciferase activity. However, constructs with let-7 target site
mutations were unresponsive to TGF-?. TGF-?-induced 3'-untranslated region
activity was attenuated by let-7b mimics, suggesting that Col1a2 and Col4a1 are
direct targets of let-7b. In addition, Lin28b, a negative regulator of let-7
biogenesis, was upregulated in TGF-?-treated MMCs. Luciferase assays showed that
the Lin28b promoter containing the Smad-binding element (SBE) responded to TGF-?,
which was abolished in constructs without SBE. Chromatin immunoprecipitation
assays showed TGF-?-induced enrichment of Smad2/3 at the Lin28b promoter,
together suggesting that Lin28b is transcriptionally induced by TGF-? through
SBE. Furthermore, let-7b levels were decreased, whereas Lin28b, Col1a2, and
Col4a1 levels were increased, in glomeruli of diabetic mice compared with
nondiabetic control mice, demonstrating the in vivo relevance of this
Lin28/let-7/collagen axis. These results identify Lin28 as a new TGF-? target
gene and suggest a novel role for the Lin28/let-7 pathway in controlling
TGF-?-induced collagen accumulation in DN.
