Injured liver-released miRNA-122 elicits acute pulmonary inflammation via activating alveolar macrophage TLR7 signaling pathway

Abstract: Hepatic injury is often accompanied by pulmonary inflammation and tissue damage, but the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. Here we identify hepatic miR-122 as a mediator of pulmonary inflammation induced by various liver injuries. Analyses of acute and chronic liver injury mouse models confirm that liver dysfunction can cause pulmonary inflammation and tissue damage. Injured livers release large amounts of miR-122 in an exosome-independent manner into the circulation compared with normal livers. Ci… Show more

“…Recent in vivo data demonstrate that miR--122 released from the injured liver can induce acute lung inflammation by activating alveolar macrophages. 20 In our studies there was not a significant decrease in lung miR--122 following liver microRNA depletion. In contrast to the kidney, this suggests that microRNA transfer from the liver to the lung is not significant in the healthy uninjured state.…”

“…At the same time, Herschman and his colleagues revealed a specific cDNA which encoded a protein with a foretold structure similar to COX-1during the analysis of phorbol-ester-induced genes in Swiss 3T3 cells 58 and also explained that the product of this gene is a cyclooxygenase enzyme 59 which initiation was inhibited by dexamethasone 60 . Correspondingly, revealing results are also showed in cultured rat mesangial cells 61 , mouse fibroblasts 62 , RAW 264.7 cells 63 , the ovary 64,65 , rat alveolar macrophages 66,67 and other cell types 68 .…”

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, conserved, non-coding RNA molecules with the potential to regulate mRNA stability and/or translation (Seeley et al, 2018). A number of miRNAs such as miR-302, miR-155, miR-223, miR-146, and miR-122 have demonstrated to be essential in the regulation of macrophage activity and innate immune responses (Rothchild et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2019aWang et al, , 2019b. Nevertheless, previous studies mainly center on the effect of miRNA on inflammatory signaling.…”
