Long non-coding RNA TUG1 knockdown promotes autophagy and improves acute renal injury in ischemia-reperfusion-treated rats by binding to microRNA-29 to silence PTEN

Abstract Objective Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) is increased under the condition of ischemia. This study intended to identify the mechanism of TUG1 in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Methods First, a rat model of acute renal injury induced by I/R was established, f...
