RESUMO
Studies have revealed the relationship between histone deacetylases (HDACs)/microRNAs (miRNAs) and sepsis, but little has ever investigated the mechanism of HDAC1/miR-124-5p in sepsis. Herein, we studied the impacts of HDAC1/miR-124-5p on myocardial damage of septic mice via regulating high-mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB1). Septic mice were induced by cecal ligation and puncture. HDAC1, miR-124-5p and HMGB1 expression in myocardial tissues of septic mice were detected. Septic mice were injected with HDAC1 low expression-, miR-124-5p high expression- or HMGB1 low expression-related structures to observe cardiac function, inflammatory response, oxidative stress response, myocardial pathological changes and apoptosis in myocardial tissues of septic mice. The relationship of HDAC1/miR-124-5p/HMGB1 was verified. HDAC1 and HMGB1 expression were upregulated while miR-124-5p expression was decreased in myocardial tissues of septic mice. Restored miR-124-5p/depleted HDAC1 or HMGB1 recovered the cardiac function, improved cardiac function, inflammatory response, oxidative stress response, myocardial pathological changes and inhibit ed cardiomyocyte apoptosis in septic mice. HDAC1 bound to miR-124-5p which directly targeted HMGB1. This study suggests that down-regulated HDAC1 or up-regulated miR-124-5p recovers myocardial damage of septic mice via decreasing HMGB1.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with sepsis. In this study, we attempt to investigate the molecular mechanism of circANKRD36 underlying sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS in vitro. We first detected the altered circRNAs in serums of patients with sepsis-induced ARDS using circRNAs microarray. CircANKRD36 expression in serums and LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells was measured using qRT-PCR. CCK-8, cell migration, ELISA, and qRT-PCR were applied to the evaluation of cell biological behavior and inflammation reaction. The results showed that circANKRD36 expression was significantly elevated in serum of patients with sepsis-induced ARDS. Knockdown of circANKRD36 inhibited cell viability and migration and alleviated inflammation of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated (LPS-stimulated) RAW264.7 cells. Bioinformatic analysis demonstrated that circANKRD36 serves as a sponge for miR-330 and ROCK1 was directly targeted by miR-330. Furthermore, knockdown of circANKRD36 repressed ROCK1 expression by targeting miR-330. In short, circANKRD36 knockdown suppressed cell viability and migration of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in vitro via sponging miR-330, which may provide new ideas for the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS.

The remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the parenchyma plays an important role in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a disease characterized by lung injury. Although it is clear that TGF-ß1 can modulate the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) through intracellular signaling molecules such as Smad3, its role as a therapeutic target against ARDS remains unknown. In this study, a rat model was established to mimic ARDS via intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A selective inhibitor of Smad3 (SIS3) was intraperitoneally injected into the disease model, while phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was used in the control group. Animal tissues were then evaluated using histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, ELISA, and western blotting. LPS was found to stimulate the expression of RAGE, TGF-ß1, MMP2, and MMP9 in the rat model. Moreover, treatment with SIS3 was observed to reverse the expression of these molecules. In addition, pretreatment with SIS3 was shown to partially inhibit the phosphorylation of Smad3 and alleviate symptoms including lung injury and pulmonary edema. These findings indicate that SIS3, or the blocking of TGF-ß/Smad3 pathways, could influence remodeling of the ECM and this may serve as a therapeutic strategy against ARDS.
