Los microARN son pequeñas moléculas endógenas de ARN de vital importancia para la regulación de la expresión génica. Se han convertido en los mediadores biológicos más importantes que se han caracterizado en los últimos diez años. Participan en casi todos los procesos celulares, por lo que su desregulación está asociada al desarrollo de muchas patologías, entre las que se encuentran las renales. Existen cada vez más pruebas que demuestran que los microARN son reguladores claves de la función y el desarrollo renal, aunque también se encuentran en el origen de algunas enfermedades renales. Los estudios más recientes han concluido que estas moléculas pueden ser secretadas al exterior de la célula, lo que permite que puedan ser detectadas en fluidos periféricos como la orina y el suero. Además, los microARN circulantes detectados en los fluidos corporales pueden ser biomarcadores adecuados de las enfermedades renales, entre las que se incluye la lesión renal aguda. Esta nueva generación de biomarcadores renales podría tener consecuencias importantes para la práctica clínica, ya que podrían contribuir significativamente a la mejora del manejo de los pacientes. En este trabajo se revisa la implicación de los microARN en la homeostasis y la función renal y el papel de los microARN circulantes como nuevos biomarcadores de las enfermedades renales, centrándonos en su potencial utilidad para el manejo de la lesión renal aguda.

microRNAs are small, endogenous RNA molecules which are critical for a new step in the regulation of the gene expression. They have become the most critical biological mediators characterized in the last ten years. microRNAs participate in almost every cellular process, therefore their deregulation is associated with the development of a wide range of pathologies, including kidney diseases. Increasing evidence demonstrates that microRNAs are key regulators of the normal kidney function and development, but they are also at the basis of several renal diseases. Recent works have established that these molecules can be secreted to extracellular environments, enabling their detection in peripheral body fluids such as urine and serum. Moreover, circulating miRNAs detected in body fluids turn into suitable biomarkers of kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury. This new generation of renal biomarkers could have a great impact in the clinical practice, significantly contributing to improve patient management. In this review, we discuss over the implication of microRNAs in normal kidney function and homeostasis as well as the role of circulating miRNAs as novel biomarkers of kidney diseases, focusing on their potential usefulness in acute kidney injury management.
