Mechanism of miR-370-3p/SESN2 regulating lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis of mouse alveolar epithelial cells
Objective To investigate the mechanism of miR-370-3p/Sestrin2(SESN2) regulating the apoptosis of mouse alveolar epithelial cells(AECs) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into LPS+anti-NC group and LPS+miR-370-3p inhibitor(anti-miR-370-3p) group,with 12 mice in each group. LPS(5 mg/kg) was given by intratracheal injection to induce acute lung injury(ALI),and anti-miR-370-3p or anti-NC was injected via the caudal vein of mice. MLE12 cells were randomly divided into control group(Con+anti-NC),Con+anti-miR-370-3p group,LPS+anti-NC group,LPS+anti-miR-370-3p group,and LPS+si-SESN2+anti-miR-370-3p group. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to analyze miR-370-3p in lung tissue or cells. Mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured to investigate the protective effect of miR-370-3p knockdown against LPS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the targeting relationship between miR-370-3p and SESN2. Results Compared with the LPS+anti-NC group,the LPS+anti-miR-370-3p group had significant reductions in the expression of miR-370-3p and the protein expression levels of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3(RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like(MLKL) in lung tissue,as well as a significant reduction in lung inflammation score(P<0.05) and a significant increase in the protein expression level of surfactant protein C(SPC) in lung tissue(P<0.001). Compared with the LPS+anti-NC group,the LPS+anti-miR-370-3p group had significant reductions in the protein expression levels of RIPK3 and MLKL in MLE12 cells and the percentage of PI-positive cells(P<0.05),as well as significant increases in mitochondrial fragmentation and mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.05). MiR-370-3p could inhibit the luciferase activity of SESN2-WT reporter gene. Compared with the LPS+anti-miR-370-3p group,the LPS+Si-SEN2+anti-miR-370-3p group had significant reductions in mitochondrial fragmentation and mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.05). Conclusion The miR-370-3p/SESN2 axis promotes the necrotizing apoptosis of AECs during ALI induced by LPS by mediating mitochondrial breakage and damaging mitochondrial function.
