Podocyte apoptosis exerts a crucial role in the pathogenesis of DN. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been gradually identified to be functional in a variety of different mechanisms associated with podocyte apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate whether lncRNA Glis2 could regulate podocyte apoptosis in DN and uncover the underlying mechanism. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨM) was measured using JC-1 staining. Mitochondrial morphology was detected by MitoTracker Deep Red staining. Then, the histopathological and ultrastructure changes of renal tissues in diabetic mice were observed using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and transmission electron microscopy. We found that lncRNA Glis2 was significantly downregulated in high-glucose cultured podocytes and renal tissues of db/db mice. LncRNA Glis2 overexpression was found to alleviate podocyte mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. The direct interaction between lncRNA Glis2 and miR-328-5p was confirmed by dual luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, lncRNA Glis2 overexpression alleviated podocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice. Taken together, this study demonstrated that lncRNA Glis2, acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miRNA-328-5p, regulated Sirt1-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and podocyte apoptosis in DN.
