Objectives To investigate the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of sufentanil against acute lung injury (ALI). Material and Methods Rats were administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by endotracheal instillation to establish a model of ALI. LPS was used to stimulate BEAS-2B cells. The targets and promoter activities of IκB were assessed using a luciferase reporter assay. Apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling. Results Sufentanil treatment markedly reduced pathological changes in lung tissue, pulmonary edema and secretion of inflammatory factors associated with ALI in vivo and in vitro. In addition, sufentanil suppressed apoptosis induced by LPS and activated NF-κB both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, upregulation of high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) protein levels and downregulation of miR-129-5p levels were observed in vivo and in vitro following sufentanil treatment. miR-129-5p targeted the 3ʹ untranslated region and its inhibition decreased promoter activities of IκB-α. miR-129-5p inhibition significantly weakened the protective effect of sufentanil on LPS-treated BEAS-2B cells. Conclusion Sufentanil regulated the miR-129-5p/HMGB1 axis to enhance IκB-α expression, suggesting that sufentanil represents a candidate drug for ALI protection and providing avenues for clinical treatment.

AbstractExtracellular vesicles (EVs) can be used for intercellular communication by facilitating the transfer of miRNAs from one cell to a recipient cell. MicroRNA (miR)-210-3p is released into the blood during sepsis, inducing cytokine production and promoting leukocyte migration. Thus, the current study aimed to elucidate the role of plasma EVs in delivering miR-210-3p in sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Plasma EVs were isolated from septic patients, after which the expression of various inflammatory factors was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured via cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. Transendothelial resistance and fluorescein isothiocyanate fluorescence were used to measure endothelial cell permeability. Matrigel was used to examine the tubulogenesis of endothelial cells. The targeting relationship between miR-210-3p and ATG7 was assessed by dual-luciferase reporter assays. The expression of ATG7 and autophagy-related genes was determined to examine autophagic activation. A sepsis mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced surgery. The level of miR-210-3p was highly enriched in septic EVs. MiR-210-3p enhanced THP-1 macrophage inflammation, BEAS-2B cell apoptosis, and HLMVEC permeability while inhibiting angiogenesis and cellular activity. MiR-210-3p overexpression reduced ATG7 and LC3II/LC3I expression and increased P62 expression. Improvements in vascular density and autophagosome formation, increased ATG7 expression, and changes in the ratio of LC3II/LC3I were detected, as well as reduced P62 expression, in adenovirus-anti-miR-210-3p treated mice after CLP injury. Taken together, the key findings of the current study demonstrate that plasma EVs carrying miR-210-3p target ATG7 to regulate autophagy and inflammatory activation in a sepsis-induced ALI model.

Abstract Background Long noncoding RNAs contribute to various inflammatory diseases, including sepsis. We explore the role of small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in sepsis-mediated acute lung injury (ALI) and inflammation. Methods A sepsis-induced ALI rat model was constructed by the cecal ligation and perforation method. The profiles of SNHG16, miR-128-3p, and high-mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) were monitored by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blot. The pathologic changes of lung tissues were evaluated by Hematoxylin–Eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, and dry and wet method. Meanwhile, the pro-inflammatory factors and proteins were determined by ELISA and Western blot. In contrast, a sepsis model in BEAS-2B was induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to verify the effects of SNHG16/miR-128-3p/HMGB3 on lung epithelial cell viability and apoptosis. Results As a result, SNHG16 and HMGB3 were up-regulated, while miR-128-3p was down-regulated in sepsis-induced ALI both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibiting SNHG16 reduced the apoptosis and inflammation in the sepsis-induced ALI model. Overexpressing SNHG16 promoted LPS-mediated lung epithelial apoptosis and inhibited cell viability and inflammation, while miR-128-3p had the opposite effects. Mechanistically, SNHG16 targeted miR-128-3p and attenuated its expression, while miR-128-3p targeted the 3′ untranslated region of HMGB3. Conclusions Overall, down-regulating SNHG16 alleviated the sepsis-mediated ALI by regulating miR-128-3p/HMGB3.

Regulated in Development and DNA Damage Response 1 (REDD1) knockdown can reduce the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in liver injury. However, its role on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) has not been explored. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of REDD1 on lung epithelial cells induced by LPS. Rt-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect REDD1 expression in 16HBE cells induced by LPS. The interfering REDD1 plasmid was constructed, and CCK8 was used to detect the effect of interference with REDD1 on LPS-induced lung epithelial cell activity. The expression of inflammatory factors was detected by ELISA and the apoptotic level was detected by TUNEL staining. String database was used to predict the combination of REDD1 and EP300 in lung epithelial cells, which was verified by CoIP experiment. An overexpressed plasmid of EP300 was constructed to detect the effects of EP300 on inflammatory factors and apoptosis in REDD1 lung epithelial cells. LPS-induced increased REDD1 expression in lung epithelial cells. Interference with REDD1 inhibits LPS-induced lung epithelial cell activity injury and inflammatory factor expression and inhibits LPS-induced lung epithelial cell apoptosis. After interference with REDD1, the expression of EP300 in LPS-induced lung epithelial cells was inhibited, and the overexpression of EP300 was reversed to promote the production of inflammatory factors and apoptosis. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that REDD1 knockdown alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury.

Abstract Objective Previously, the protective effect of microRNA (miR)-145-5p has been discovered in acute lung injury (ALI). Thus, this study attempts to further discuss the mechanism of miR-145-5p in ALI through the downstream E26 transformation-specific proto-oncogene 2 (ETS2)/transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad pathway. Methods A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced rat ALI model was established. Recombinant adenovirus miR-145-5p and/or ETS2 overexpression plasmid was administrated into rats. Afterwards, pathological damage in the lung tissue, wet/dry (W/D) ratio, apoptosis and contents of serum inflammatory factors were observed. miR-145-5p, ETS2, TGF-β1, Smad2/3, phosphorylated Smad2/3 levels were measured in rats. Results miR-145-5p was down-regulated, ETS2 was up-regulated and TGF-β1/Smad pathway was activated in LPS-suffered rats. Overexpression of miR-145-5p inactivated the TGF-β1/Smad pathway and attenuated ALI, as reflected by relived pathological damage, and decreased W/D ratio, apoptosis and inflammatory response. Oppositely, loss of miR-145-5p or enhancement of ETS2 worsened ALI and activated the TGF-β1/Smad pathway. Moreover, elevation of ETS2 decreased miR-145-5p-mediated protection against ALI. Conclusion Evidently, miR-145-5p negatively regulates ETS2 expression and inactivates TGF-β1/Smad pathway to ameliorate ALI in rats.

Objective. To observe the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in acute lung injury (ALI) rat model, to characterize its effect on the development and progression of ALI, and to identify the potential new drug delivery approach during in vivo experiment. Method. The effects of different doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC) were tested. For the animal experiments, thirty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into physiological saline control group (NC group), the LPS model group (L group), the antagonist RS102895 combined with LPS group (R + L group), and the antagonist RS102895-loaded polyaldehyde dextran nanoparticles combined with LPS group (DNPR + L group). The blood gas analysis and dry/wet weight ratio were detected 24 hours after interventions. The levels of inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), were tested by ELISA. The expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in lung tissues was examined through Western blot, and the change of MCP-1 mRNA expression level was detected by performing RT-PCR. Result. LPS was responsible for inducing ALI in rats, and the degree of cell damage was dose-dependent. Blood gas analysis of L group showed that PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 levels were significantly lower than those of the NC group (P<0.05), while the dry/wet weight ratio of lung tissues in L group increased (P<0.05). Inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-1β and the expression of MCP-1 in both protein and mRNA levels were higher in L group than in the NC group (P<0.05). The inhibition of the interaction between MCP-1 and chemokines receptor 2 (CCR2) by antagonist RS102895 can significantly alleviate the ALI in rats, which is accompanied by a significant decrease of inflammatory factors and MCP-1 expression (P<0.05). Compared with R + L group, treatment with DNPR and LPS combination significantly improved the condition of rats and decreased the level of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MCP-1 expression (P<0.05). Conclusion. In ALI, RS102895 can inhibit the MCP-1/CCR2 interaction, therefore, retarding the progress of ALI. Because of the high transfection efficiency of inhibitor RS102895packgaed by polyaldehyde dextran nanoparticles, this phenomenon particularly reached a significant level. The results imply new insights for the treatment of ALI.

Tanshinone IIA is the phenanthrenequinone derivative extracted from the perennial plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (red sage). We investigated whether inhibition of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome mediates the protective effect of tanshinone IIA in acute lung injury (ALI) induced in rats by oleic acid (OA) injection. Compared with the control treatment, OA injection induced pulmonary histological impairment, increased the lung wet/dry weight ratio (7.0?1.1 vs 4.?0.6 ) and CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) (52?6.4 vs 40?3.6 mmHg), decreased arterial O2 partial pressure (PaO2) (63?8.4 vs 100?3.0 mmHg), and increased tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?) (8.8?2.3 vs 5.2 ?1.5 pg/mL), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (36.1?4.9 vs 25.2?6.6 pg/mL) and interleukin-1? (IL-1?) (15.9?3.2 vs 4.6?1.3 pg/mL) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Tanshinone IIA provided protection against ALI, observed as a reduction in the lung wet/dry weight ratio and CO2 partial pressure, and increased O2 partial pressure. The cytokine increase was also prevented. Tanshinone IIA attenuated increased protein levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1? in pulmonary tissues, suggesting that it ameliorates ALI by preventing NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
