Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious disease with sudden onset, rapid progression, poor treatment response and high mortality. Acid-sensitive ion channels (ASICs) are a type of cation channel activated by extracellular acidification and are involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and immune diseases. Our previous research revealed that ASIC1a promotes ALI, but the specific mechanism is unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large class of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in the pathological processes of many diseases. However, their role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI and their correlation with the ASIC1a channel remain unclear. In this study, via high-throughput sequencing, we investigated the effect of ASIC1a on circRNA expression. We focused on circRNA18–658 and its downstream signaling pathway in rat models of ALI. Our results revealed that ASIC1a promotes ALI through the circRNA18–658/miR-127–5p/TRIM72 axis, providing new targets and ideas for the study of the mechanism of ALI and the development of new drugs.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:
Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunology
Mechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunity
Intercellular communication, cooperation and regulation
Intracellular mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)
Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune system
Structural analysis
Development of the immune system
Comparative immunology and evolution of the immune system
"Omics" studies and bioinformatics
Vaccines, biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)
Technical developments.
