Abstract
Background: Recent studies have shown the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) involves circular RNA (circRNA). However, there are no data on the role of circSLCO3A1 in ALI and the underlying mechanism.
Objective: ALI-like cell injury was induced by stimulating human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) using lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The expression of circSLCO3A1, miR-424-5p and high mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell viability and cell apoptosis were assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the production of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1). Caspase-3 activity was detected by caspase-3 activity assay. Protein expression of inducible NOS (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), p-p65 and p65 was analyzed by Western blot. The interactions among circSLCO3A1, miR-424-5p and HMGB3 were identified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay and RNA pull-down assay.
Results: CircSLCO3A1 and HMGB3 expression were significantly increased, while miR-424-5p was decreased in LPS-treated HPAEpiCs and the serum of septic ALI patients in comparison with controls. CircSLCO3A1 knockdown assuaged LPS-induced HPAEpiC inflammation and apoptosis. Besides, circSLCO3A1 targeted miR-424-5p and regulated LPS-triggered HPAEpiC inflammation and apoptosis by binding to miR-424-5p. Under the treatment of LPS, miR-424-5p mediated HPAEpiC disorders by targeting HMGB3. Importantly, circSLCO3A1 modulated HMGB3 production by interacting with miR-424-5p.
Conclusion: CircSLCO3A1 absence assuaged LPS-induced HPAEpiC inflammation and apoptosis through the miR-424-5p/HMGB3 axis.
Highlights: CircSLCO3A1 expression was upregulated in LPS-induced HPAEpiCs and sepsis-induced ALI patients.CircSLCO3A1 depletion protected against LPS-induced HPAEpiC disorders.CircSLCO3A1 bound to miR-424-5p in HPAEpiCs.MiR-424-5p targeted HMGB3 in HPAEpiCs.CircSLCO3A1 regulated HMGB3 expression through miR-424-5p.

期刊介绍：
Molecular & Cellular Toxicology publishes original research and reviews in all areas of the complex interaction between the cell´s genome (the sum of all genes within the chromosome), chemicals in the environment, and disease. Acceptable manuscripts are the ones that deal with some topics of environmental contaminants, including those that lie in the domains of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology with the aspects of molecular and cellular levels. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant genomics and proteomics, which have direct impact on drug development, environment health, food safety, preventive medicine, and forensic medicine. The journal is committed to rapid peer review to ensure the publication of highest quality original research and timely news and review articles.
