Studies showed a significant correlation between TLRs and inflammatory responses in ulcerative colitis. Therefore, in this study, after inducing experimental colitis in mice with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), different concentrations of IRAK1/4 inhibitors were administered intraperitoneally. Then, the disease activity index was assessed, including the degree of pathological damage, by HE staining. Subsequently, while Western blotting detected the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and intestinal barrier protein expression (Zonula-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, JAM-A), real-time polymerase chain reaction detected the mRNA expression levels of IRAK1/4 and mucin1/2. Furthermore, the expression levels of Zonula-1 and occludin were detected by immunofluorescence, including the plasma FITC-dextran 4000 concentration, to evaluate intestinal barrier permeability. However, ELISA measured the expression of inflammatory factors to reflect intestinal inflammation in mice. Investigations showed that the IRAK 1/4 inhibitor significantly reduced clinical symptoms and pathological DSS-induced colitis damage in mice and then inhibited the cytoplasmic and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65, including the phosphorylation of IκBα and reduction in downstream inflammatory factor production. Therefore, we established that the IRAK1/4 inhibitor effectively improves colitis induced by DSS, partly by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, reducing inflammation, and maintaining the integrity of the colonic barrier.","PeriodicalId":9147,"journal":{"name":"Bosnian journal of basic medical sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"872 - 881"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45065090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have proposed serum microRNAs (miRNAs) as novel biomarkers for diagnosing PTC. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis aiming to investigate the overall diagnostic accuracy of serum miRNAs in PTC detection. Three online databases including PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched up to 1 May 2021. We systematically reviewed studies evaluating the value of serum miRNAs in diagnosing PTC, and then summarized the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio to assess the accuracy of serum miRNAs for the discrimination between patients with PTC and patients with benign thyroid nodules and healthy controls. We included 32 studies from 6 articles. Overall, there were 463 PTC patients, 334 patients with benign thyroid nodules, and 104 healthy controls. The results showed that the summary sensitivity and specificity were 76% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 68-83%) and 86% (95% CI: 80-91%), respectively, and that the summary AUROC was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.86-0.91), when serum miRNAs were used for discriminating between PTC patients and those with benign nodules.

In discovery set, we conducted a genome-wide miRNA sequencing of serum EVs from 9 untreated adolescents with MDD and 8 matched healthy controls (HCs), identifying 32 differentially expressed miRNAs (18 upregulated and 14 downregulated). In the validation set, 8 differentially expressed and highly enriched miRNAs were verified in independent samples using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), with 4 (miR-450a-2-3p, miR-3691-5p, miR-556-3p, and miR-2115-3p) of the 8 miRNAs found to be significantly elevated in 34 untreated adolescents with MDD compared with 38 HCs and consistent with the sequencing results. After the Bonferroni correction, we found that three miRNAs (miR-450a-2-3p, miR-556-3p, and miR-2115-3p) were still significantly different. Among them, miR-450a-2-3p showed the most marked differential expression and was able to diagnose disease with 67.6% sensitivity and 84.2% specificity. Furthermore, miR-450a-2-3p partially mediated the associations between total childhood trauma, emotional abuse, and physical neglect and adolescent MDD. We also found that the combination of miR-450a-2-3p and emotional abuse could effectively diagnose MDD in adolescents with 82.4% sensitivity and 81.6% specificity. Our data demonstrate the association of serum EV miRNA dysregulation with MDD pathophysiology and, furthermore, show that miRNAs may mediate the relationship between early stress and MDD susceptibility.
