Down-regulated HDAC1 and up-regulated microRNA-124-5p recover myocardial damage of septic mice.

Studies have revealed the relationship between histone deacetylases (HDACs)/microRNAs (miRNAs) and sepsis, but little has ever investigated the mechanism of HDAC1/miR-124-5p in sepsis. Herein, we studied the impacts of HDAC1/miR-124-5p on myocardial damage of septic mice via regulating high-mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB1). Septic mice were induced by cecal ligation and puncture.

CircANKRD36 Knockdown Suppressed Cell Viability and Migration of LPS-Stimulated RAW264.7 Cells by Sponging MiR-330.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with sepsis. In this study, we attempt to investigate the molecular mechanism of circANKRD36 underlying sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS in vitro. We first detected the altered circRNAs in serums of patients with sepsis-induced ARDS using circRNAs microarray.

Effect of SIS3 on Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Repair in a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced ARDS Rat Model.

The remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the parenchyma plays an important role in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a disease characterized by lung injury. Although it is clear that TGF-1 can modulate the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) through intracellular signaling molecules such as Smad3, its role as a therapeutic target against ARDS remains unknown. In this study, a rat model was established to mimic ARDS via intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
