miRNA sequencing of extracellular vesicles derived from podocytes under high glucose stimulation.

Extracellular vesicles were isolated from the cell culture supernatants of podocytes under high glucose(HG), normal glucose(NG) and iso-osmolality stimulation (three replicates/group). miRNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in podocyte-derived extracellular vesicles. After sequencing, A total of 1915 miRNAs were annotated from all samples . A comparison of the HG and NG groups showed that 11 miRNAs were differentially expressed (4 for up-regulated and 7 for down-regulated,|log2(fold change)| > 1, p-value < 0.05), while a comparison of the HG and iso-osmolality groups showed that 18 miRNAs were differentially expressed (1 for up-regulated and 17 for down-regulated, |log2(fold change)| > 1, p-value < 0.05). This study provides the results of miRNA alteration in podocytes extracellular vesicles under HG stimulation. Examination of miRNA expression profiles of podocyte-derived extracellular vesicles using high-throughput sequencing.
