Objective(s): To investigate the role of microRNA-378 (miR-378) in the regulation of mucin gene expression and inflammatory response in human middle ear epithelial cells (HMEEC) during bacterial infection by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi).
Methods: Human middle ear epithelial cells (HMEEC) were cultured and transfected with miR-378 or control miRNA. Post-transfection, cells were exposed to NTHi lysates. mRNA levels of MUC5B, MUC5AC, and IL-8 were quantified using RT-qPCR, and promoter activity was measured via luciferase assays. The effects of miR-378 on mucin and cytokine gene expression were analyzed.
Results: Transfection with miR-378 significantly increased the expression of MUC5B (3.6 fold, p < 0.01), MUC5AC (19.1 fold, p < 0.01), and IL-8 (2.01 fold, p < 0.05) in HMEEC. NTHi exposure reduced MUC5B (1.385 fold, p < 0.05) and MUC5AC (1.61 fold, p < 0.05) gene expression in miR-378 transfected cells but significantly increased IL-8 levels (1.32 fold, p < 0.05). Luciferase assays showed that miR-378 upregulated the promoter activity of MUC5B (1.4 fold, p < 0.01) and MUC5AC (1.6 fold, p < 0.01) genes, indicating its role in transcriptional regulation.
Conclusion: miR-378 plays a crucial role in promoting mucin overproduction and an inflammatory response in the middle ear epithelium during OM. Targeting miR-378 could offer a novel therapeutic strategy for preventing the progression from AOM to COM.
期刊介绍:
The Laryngoscope has been the leading source of information on advances in the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck disorders since 1890. The Laryngoscope is the first choice among otolaryngologists for publication of their important findings and techniques. Each monthly issue of The Laryngoscope features peer-reviewed medical, clinical, and research contributions in general otolaryngology, allergy/rhinology, otology/neurotology, laryngology/bronchoesophagology, head and neck surgery, sleep medicine, pediatric otolaryngology, facial plastics and reconstructive surgery, oncology, and communicative disorders. Contributions include papers and posters presented at the Annual and Section Meetings of the Triological Society, as well as independent papers, "How I Do It", "Triological Best Practice" articles, and contemporary reviews. Theses authored by the Triological Society’s new Fellows as well as papers presented at meetings of the American Laryngological Association are published in The Laryngoscope.
