Abstract:

Objective

To determine the regulatory effect of miR-155-5P on the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) in alveolar macrophages and the influence on neutrophil migration during acute lung injury (ALI) in sepsis.

Methods

Mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S) were cultured and divided into a control group, sepsis group, and miR-155-5P inhibitor group. The miR-155-5P inhibitor group was transfected with miR-155-5P antagomir in advance. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to intervene the sepsis group and miR-155-5P inhibitor group for 12 h. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-155-5P, IL-6 mRNA, and MIP-2 mRNA in alveolar macrophages of the three groups, and ELISA was used to detect the concentrations of IL-6 and MIP-2 in cell suspension. Again, MH-S was divided into three groups and cultured in the lower compartment of transwell plate. Neutrophils labeled with CFSE were cultured in the upper compartment. After LPS intervention, fluorescence values of cells in the upper compartment and lower compartment were detected by flow cytometry, respectively, to calculate the migration rate of neutrophils.

Results

The expression of miR-155-5P (8.04±0.65), IL-6 mRNA (57.05±6.88), and MIP-2 mRNA (52.98±2.58) in MH-S cells in the sepsis group were significantly up-regulated compared with the control group (1.00±0.00, 1.00±0.00, and 1.00±0.00, respectively; P<0.05). The concentrations of IL-6 [(50.85±0.12) pg/ml] and MIP-2 [(69.96±1.40) pg/ml] and neutrophil migration rate (64.36%) were significantly higher sepsis group than in the control group [(38.58±0.13) pg/ml, (56.00±0.29) pg/ml, and 30.98%, respectively; P<0.05]. The expression of miR-155-5P in the miR-155-5P inhibitor group (0.19±0.35) was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The expression of IL-6 mRNA (39.66±3.65) and MIP-2 mRNA (31.01±2.88), and the concentrations of IL-6 [(42.45±1.08) pg/ml] and MIP-2 [(59.01±1.63) pg/ml] in the miR-155-5P inhibitor group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), but lower than those of the sepsis group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

In ALI secondary to sepsis, miR-155-5P is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages, which is positively correlated with the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and MIP-2. miR-155-5P promotes the production of IL-6 and MIP-2, and causes a large number of neutrophils to migrate into the lung, thus causing lung injury. Inhibiting the expression of miR-155-5P can inhibit the production of IL-6 and MIP-2, thus reducing the chemotactic migration of neutrophils and protecting the lung.
