BCL2 and acute kidney injury: miR-590-3p, miR-20a, miR-133a, and miR-942-5p exert an anti-apoptotic effect, while their overexpression can dramatically inhibit the expression of Bax (pro-apoptotic regulator) and increase the expression of Bcl-2 (anti-apoptotic regulator) in SA-AKI models (Ma et al., 2019; Luo et al., 2020a; Zhang et al., 2020b; Qin et al., 2020).
