Objective: To investigate the effect of microRNA (miR-148b) targeting decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) on macrophage polarization in sepsis. Methods: Experimental study. From December 2019 to December 2022, serum microRNA expression was detected in 3 patients with sepsis and 3 healthy controls in the clinical laboratory of Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was used to induce the differentiation of human acute monocytic leukemia cells THP-1 into macrophages, and then lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added to stimulate the establishment of a sepsis cell model, and the expression changes of miR-148b and DcR3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Overexpression of DcR3 was used to detect the expression levels of TNF-α, CD163 and IL-10 in macrophages stimulated by LPS (100 ng/ml). Overexpression of miR-148b was used to observe the changes of molecular markers of macrophage polarization. The targeting regulation effect of miR-148b on DcR3 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. t test was used to analyze whether there were statistical differences among the groups. Results: The expression of miR-148b was down-regulated (P<0.05) and the expression of DcR3 was up-regulated (P<0.01) in THP-1 macrophages stimulated by LPS. Overexpression of DcR3 inhibited the expression of TNF-α (P<0.05) and promoted the expression of CD163 (P<0.01) and IL-10 (P<0.01). When miR-148b mimics was added, the opposite effect was observed. The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-148b targets and binds to DcR3, inhibiting its transcription and expression. The results of flow cytometry showed that DcR3 could reverse the promoting effect of miR-148b on the CD86/CD163 ratio of macrophages (P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-148b inhibits the expression of DcR3, thereby inhibiting M2 polarization in LPS-stimulated macrophage cells.

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) acts as a tumor promoter in advanced prostate cancer (PCa). We speculated that microRNAs (miRNAs) that are inhibited by TGF-β1 might exert anti-tumor effects. To assess this, we identified several miRNAs downregulated by TGF-β1 in PCa cell lines and selected miR-3691-3p for detailed analysis as a candidate anti-oncogene miRNA. miR-3691-3p was expressed at significantly lower levels in human PCa tissue compared with paired benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue, and its expression level correlated inversely with aggressive clinical pathological features. Overexpression of miR-3691-3p in PCa cell lines inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. The miR-3691-3p target genes E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3) and PR domain containing 1, with ZNF domain (PRDM1) were upregulated in miR-3691-3p-overexpressing PCa cells, and silencing of E2F3 or PRDM1 suppressed PCa cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Treatment of mice bearing PCa xenografts with a miR-3691-3p agomir inhibited tumor growth and promoted tumor cell apoptosis. Consistent with the negative regulation of E2F3 and PRDM1 by miR-3691-3p, both proteins were overexpressed in clinical PCa specimens compared with noncancerous prostate tissue. Our results indicate that TGF-β1-regulated miR-3691-3p acts as an anti-oncogene in PCa by downregulating E2F3 and PRDM1. These results provide novel insights into the mechanisms by which TGF-β1 contributes to the progression of PCa.

Objective To investigate the effects of different Leptospira strains on phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages of guinea pigs,and explore the role of innate immune in the pathogenesis of leptospirosis. Methods Peritoneal macrophages of guinea pigs were infected in vitro by three different Leptospira strains,the virulent Leptospira interrogans serovar Lai type strain Lai,the avirulent L.interrogans serovar Lai type strain IPAV,and the nonpathogenic L.biflexa serovar Patoc type strain PatocⅠ,respectively,and heat inactivated Staphylococcus epidermidis was added 0.5,1.5,3 and 6 h after infection and incubated for 30 min.The effect of Leptospira on the phagocytosis of macrophage was evaluated by the inactivated Staphylococcus epidermidis phagocytosis rate and phagocytosis index.Phagocytosis and ultrastructure of peritoneal macrophages were observed by transmission electron microscopy 3 h after infection,and changes of cytoskeleton of the macrophages were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Results The phagocytic rates and phagocytic indexes of strain Lai,strain IPAV and strain PatocⅠinfection groups were significantly lower than those of control group 3 h and 6 h after infection(P
