Abstract:In this study, we intended to determine the detailed function and mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) in liver injury induced by sepsis. Cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) models were adopted to induce sepsis in vivo with rats, and hepatic epithelial cells L02 were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic sepsis in vitro. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6),… Show more
“…In our study, it also showed that the proportion of Th17 and Treg subsets changed significantly in sepsis and the differentiation of Th17 and Treg subsets could be regulated by the expression level of miR-126 in lymphocytes of septic rats. A study on septic rats has shown that upregulation of miR-126 by transfection could heighten the apoptosis of liver epithelial cells, which proved that miR-126 could improve liver injury in sepsis [35]. Another study on burn tissues and endothelial cells has shown that the upregulation of miR-126 could inhibit the apoptosis of endothelial cells [36].…”
To observe the inflammatory response, differentiation of Th17/Treg subsets and apoptosis of lymphocytes, by regulating miR-126 in lymphocytes of septic rats. After using cecal ligation and puncture to establish sepsis model, miR-126 mimic and miR-126 inhibitor were used to transfect lymphocytes of septic rats in vitro and in vivo. ELISA was used to detect TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-10, the differentiation of Th17 and Treg was measured by flow cytometry, and apoptosis of lymphocytes was observed by fluorescence microscope; the changes of caspase signaling pathway were detected by immunofluorescence, PCR, and Western blotting. The result show that the expression of miR-126 increased in sepsis. After overexpression of miR-126, the release of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-17 decreased; the release of IL-10 increased; T lymphocyte subsets differentiated toward Treg; caspase signaling pathway weakened; and lymphocyte of apoptosis decreased compared with sepsis group. While, after inhibition of miR-126, the release of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-17 increased; the release of IL-10 decreased; T lymphocyte subsets differentiated toward TH17; caspase signaling pathway enhanced; and lymphocyte of apoptosis increased compared with sepsis group. Taken together, regulation of miR-126 can alter the inflammatory response, differentiation of T lymphocyte subsets, and apoptosis of lymphocytes in septic rats.

“…It has been well-identi ed that multiple lncRNAs are involved in the development of sepsis-induced liver injury. For example, lncRNA colorectal neoplasia, differentially displayed, relieves sepsis-caused liver damage by targeting miR-126-5p [28]. Circulating lncRNA NEAT1 is correlated with an unfavorable prognosis, high severity, and increased risk in sepsis patients [29].…”
Background: Sepsis is a system inflammation disease that can lead to liver injury. Long non-coding RNAs as crucial regulators participate in the regulation of sepsis-induced liver injury. However, the role of lncRNA CASC7 (CASC7) in the modulation of sepsis-induced liver injury remains elusive. Here, we aimed to explore the effect of CASC7 on the sepsis-induced liver injury. Methods: The sepsis mouse model was established in BALB/c mice by the treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The effect of CASC7 on sepsis-induced liver injury was analyzed by Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining, ELISA assays, TUNEL detection kit, CCK‐8 assays, and Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit in vivo or in vitro. The mechanism investigation was performed using RNA pull-down, luciferase reporter gene assays, qPCR assays, and Western blot analysis.Results: The expression of CASC7 was elevated in a time-dependent manner in the liver tissues of the sepsis mice and LPS-treated LO2 cells. The depletion of CASC7 decreased the LPS treatment-induced liver injury in the sepsis mice. The treatment of LPS enhanced the apoptosis in the sepsis mice, while the depletion of CASC7 blocked this enhancement in the system. The CASC7 knockdown inhibited the LPS-enhanced expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in the mice. CASC7 served as a sponge for the miR-217 in the liver cells. CASC7 promoted the progression of sepsis-induced liver injury by sponging miR-217. MiR-217 attenuated sepsis-induced liver injury by targeting TLR4. Conclusions: Thus, we conclude that CASC7 contributes to the progression of sepsis-induced liver injury by targeting miR-217/TLR4 axis.
“…Functional studies in LPS-induced macrophages showed that lncRNA NEAT1 interacted with Let-7a, targeting TLR4 that in turn contributed to the LPS-induced inflammatory response ( Zhang and Niu, 2019 ). Another lncRNA, which functions via ceRNA mechanism, lncRNA CRNDE overexpression in rats ameliorated sepsis-induced liver injury by inhibiting hepatic epithelial cell apoptosis through binding to miR-126-5p, and in turn promoting the expression of BCL2L2 ( Li et al., 2020 ).…”
Section: Role Of Lncrnas In Sepsis-induced Organ Dysfunctionsmentioning
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is characterized by a hyperinflammatory state accompanied by immunosuppression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are noncoding RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides and have important roles in mediating various biological processes. Recently, lncRNAs were found to exert both promotive and inhibitory immune functions in sepsis, thus participating in sepsis regulation. Additionally, several studies have revealed that lncRNAs are involved in sepsis-induced organ dysfunctions, including cardiovascular dysfunction, acute lung injury, and acute kidney injury. Considering the lack of effective biomarkers for early identification and specific treatment for sepsis, lncRNAs may be promising biomarkers and even targets for sepsis therapies. This review systematically highlights the recent advances regarding the roles of lncRNAs in sepsis and sheds light on their use as potential biomarkers and treatment targets for sepsis.
