哮喘COPD重叠患者上调的微小RNA-125b-5p通过靶向IL6R/TRIAP1信号介导氧化应激和晚期细胞凋亡
2024/02/23
背景:在慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者中,某些患者同时具有支气管哮喘和慢性阻塞性肺疾病的特征,这种情况被归类为哮喘-慢性阻塞性肺疾病重叠(ACO)。
目的:本研究旨在明确哮喘或COPD相关miRNA是否在ACO的发病机制中发挥作用。
方法:本研究共纳入22名健康受试者及27名ACO患者,并选择6种已发现与COPD和哮喘相关微小RNA(miRNA)。本研究采用定量逆转录聚合酶链式反应分析miRNA和靶基因表达水平,采用流式细胞术评估细胞凋亡和细胞内活性氧产生情况。通过香烟烟雾提取物(CSE)或卵清蛋白(OVA)过敏原或两者同时刺激体外人单核细胞THP-1细胞和原代正常人支气管上皮(NHBE)细胞来验证临床现象。
结果:本研究发现miR-125b-5p在ACO患者和CSE+OVA过敏原共同刺激THP-1细胞中上调。本研究共选择了16个与miR-125b-5p通路相关基因,并发现IL6R和TRIAP1在ACO患者和CSE+OVA共同刺激THP-1细胞中均下调。CSE和OVA刺激后,THP-1细胞模型中晚期凋亡细胞的百分比增加,且通过用miR-125b-5p小干扰RNA(siRNA)转染逆转上述作用。CSE和OVA刺激后,NHBE细胞模型中产生活性氧细胞的百分比增加,且miR-125b-5p siRNA转染可逆转上述作用。siRNA转染可逆转CSE+OVA共同刺激所致NHBE细胞中STAT3上调。
结论:本研究表明,ACO患者体内miR-125b-5p上调可靶向作用于IL6R和TRIAP1,进而介导THP-1细胞晚期凋亡和NHBE细胞氧化应激,同时STAT3表达也受miR-125b-5p调控。

Abstract
BACKGROUND:Among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), some have features of both asthma and COPD-a condition categorized as asthma-COPD overlap (ACO).
OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to determine whether asthma- or COPD-related microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis of ACO.
METHODS:A total of 22 healthy subjects and 27 patients with ACO were enrolled. We selected 6 miRNAs that were found to correlate with COPD and asthma. The expression of miRNAs and target genes was analyzed using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Cell apoptosis and intracellular reactive oxygen species production were evaluated using flow cytometry. In vitro human monocytic THP-1 cells and primary normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells under stimuli with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) or ovalbumin (OVA) allergen or both were used to verify the clinical findings.
RESULTS:We identified the upregulation of miR-125b-5p in patients with ACO and in THP-1 cells stimulated with CSE plus OVA allergen. We selected 16 genes related to the miR-125b-5p pathway and found that IL6R and TRIAP1 were both downregulated in patients with ACO and in THP-1 cells stimulated with CSE plus OVA. The percentage of late apoptotic cells increased in the THP-1 cell culture model when stimulated with CSE plus OVA, and the effect was reversed by transfection with miR-125b-5p small interfering RNA (siRNA). The percentage of reactive oxygen species-producing cells increased in the NHBE cell culture model when stimulated with CSE plus OVA, and the effect was reversed by transfection with miR-125b-5p siRNA. In NHBE cells, siRNA transfection reversed the upregulation of STAT3 under CSE+OVA stimulation.
CONCLUSION:Our study revealed that upregulation of miR-125b-5p in patients with ACO mediated late apoptosis in THP-1 cells and oxidative stress in NHBE cells via targeting IL6R and TRIAP1. STAT3 expression was also regulated by miR-125b-5p.
