Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: The dysregulation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is involved in various human diseases, including sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). We aimed to investigate the role of circTDRD9 in the development of sepsis-induced ALI. Methods: Cell models of sepsis-induced ALI were established by treating A549 cells with LPS. The expression of circTDRD9, miR-223-3p, and RAB10 mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The levels of inflammatory factors were measured by ELISA. Oxidative stress-related indicators were monitored by using commercial detection kits. The expression of fibrosis-related proteins was detected by Western blot assay. Cell proliferation was assessed by EdU assay. The predicted binding relationship between miR-223-3p and circTDRD9 or RAB10 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay or pull-down assay. Results: CircTDRD9 was highly expressed in LPS-treated A549 cells. CircTDRD9 downregulation prevented LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, cell proliferation inhibition, and cell fibrosis in A549 cells, whereas these effects were reversed by the inhibition of miR-223-3p, a target of circTDRD9. In addition, RAB10 was verified as a target of miR-223-3p, and RAB10 overexpression recovered LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, cell proliferation inhibition, and cell fibrosis in A549 cells that were ameliorated by miR-223-3p restoration. Importantly, circTDRD9 positively regulated RAB10 expression by binding to miR-223-3p. Conclusion: CircTDRD9 overexpression was closely associated with LPS-induced ALI. CircTDRD9 contributed to LPS-induced ALI partly by upregulating RAB10 via binding to miR-223-3p.
