Abstract
Background: BMPs have emerged as key regulators of kidney fibrosis. Results: Deletion of miR-22 attenuated renal fibrosis via direct targeting of BMP-7/6. BMP-7/6 in turn transcriptionally regulates miR-22 expression. Conclusion: miR-22 and BMP-7/6 form a negative feedback circuit. Significance: The present study is the first to report the effect of miR-22 on BMP signaling and kidney fibrosis.
