Macrophage-derived exosomal miRNA-141 triggers endothelial cell pyroptosis by targeting NLRP3 to accelerate sepsis progression
Sepsis, critical condition marked by severe organ dysfunction from uncontrolled infection, involves the endothelium significantly. Macrophages, through paracrine actions, play a vital role in sepsis, but their mechanisms in sepsis pathogenesis remain elusive. Objective: We aimed to explore how macrophage-derived exosomes with low miR-141 expression promote pyroptosis in endothelial cells (ECs). Exosomes from THP-1 cell supernatant were isolated and characterized. The effects of miR-141 mimic/inhibitor on apoptosis, proliferation, and invasion of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) were assessed using flow cytometry, CCK-8, and transwell assays. Key pyroptosis-related proteins, including caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1β, NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3), ASC, and cleaved-GSDMD, were analyzed via Western blot. The interaction between miR-141 and NLRP3 was studied using RNAhybrid v2.2 and dual-Luciferase reporter assays. The mRNA and protein level of NLRP3 after exosomal miR-141 inhibitor treatment was detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Exosomes were successfully isolated. miR-141 mimic reduced cell death and pyroptosis-related protein expression in HUVECs, while the inhibitor had opposite effects, increasing cell death, and enhancing pyroptosis protein expression. Additionally, macrophage-derived exosomal miR-141 inhibitor increased cell death and pyroptosis-related proteins in HUVECs. miR-141 inhibits NLRP3 transcription. Macrophages facilitate sepsis progression by secreting miR-141 decreased exosomes to activate NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in ECs, which could be a potentially valuable target of sepsis therapy.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology is an Open Access peer-reviewed journal publishing original papers describing research in the fields of immunology, pathology and pharmacology. The intention is that the journal should reflect both the experimental and clinical aspects of immunology as well as advances in the understanding of the pathology and pharmacology of the immune system.
