Abstract
En 中文
The role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in sepsis-induced lung injury is not clear. This study investigated the role and molecular mechanism of a novel circRNA in sepsis-induced lung injury and explored its prognostic value in patients with sepsis. In this study, aberrant circRNA expression profiling in lung tissues from mice with sepsis-induced lung injury was analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. circRNA-Cacna1d was verified by qRT-PCR, and its biological function in sepsis-induced lung injury was validated in vitro and in vivo. The interactions among circRNA-Cacna1d, microRNAs (miRNAs), and their downstream genes were verified. Furthermore, the clinical value of circRNA-Cacna1d in peripheral blood from patients with sepsis was also evaluated. We found that circRNA-Cacna1d expression was significantly increased in lung tissues of mice with sepsis and in microvascular endothelial cells after LPS challenge. circRNA-Cacna1d knockdown alleviated inflammatory response and ameliorated the permeability of vascular endothelium, thereby mitigating sepsis-induced lung injury and significantly improving the survival rate of mice with sepsis. Mechanistically, circRNA-Cacna1d directly interacted with miRNA-185-5p and functioned as a miRNA sponge to regulate the RhoA/ROCK1 signaling pathway. The expression level of circRNACacna1d in patients with early sepsis was significantly higher than that in the healthy control subjects. Higher levels of circRNACacna1d in patients with sepsis were associated with increased disease severity and poorer outcomes. In conclusions, circRNACacna1d may play a role in sepsis-induced lung injury by regulating the RhoA/ROCK1 axis by acting as a miRNA-185-5p sponge. circRNA-Cacna1d is a potential therapeutic target for sepsis-induced lung injury and a prognostic biomarker in sepsis.
