Hypoxia is regarded as one of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of kidney injury and further progression to kidney failure. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in kidney tubules is a critical process of kidney fibrosis. This study utilized transcriptome analysis to investigate hypoxia-induced EMT through microRNA (miRNA)-modulated EMT in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs). RNA sequencing revealed eight miRNAs were upregulated and three miRNAs were downregulated in PTECs cultured under hypoxia compared with normoxia. Among the 11 miRNAs, miR-545-3p has the highest expression in PTECs exposed to hypoxia, and miR-545-3p suppressed tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/TNFSF10) expression. Hypoxia induced EMT in PTECs through miR-545-3p–TNFSF10 modulation, and TNFSF10-attenuated EMT resulted from hypoxia or miR-545-3p mimic transfection. These findings provided new perceptions of the unique regulation of the miR-545-3p–TNFSF10 interaction and their potential therapeutic effect in kidney injury induced by hypoxia.
