Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening disease; however, its treatment has not yet been fully established. The progression of ARDS is considered to be mediated by altered intercellular communication between immune and structural cells in the lung. One of several factors involved in intercellular communication is the extracellular vesicle (EV). They act as carriers of functional content such as RNA molecules, proteins, and lipids and deliver cargo from donor to recipient cells. EVs have been reported to regulate the nucleotide-binding oligomerization like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. This has been identified as the cellular machinery responsible for activating inflammatory processes, a key component responsible for the pathogenesis of ARDS.

Methods: Here, we provide comprehensive genetic analysis of microRNAs (miRNAs) in EVs, demonstrating increased expression of the miRNA-466 family in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a mouse ARDS model.

Results: Transfection of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) with miRNA-466 g and 466 m-5p resulted in increased interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) release after LPS and ATP treatment, which is an established in vitro model of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Moreover, LPS-induced pro-IL-1β expression was accelerated by miRNA-466 g and 466 m-5p in BMDMs.

Conclusions: These findings imply that miRNA-466 family molecules are secreted via EVs into the airways in an ARDS model, and this exacerbates inflammation through the NLRP3 inflammasome. Our results suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, regulated by extracellular vesicle miRNA, could act as a therapeutic target for ARDS.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Delayed tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis, which has a restrictive therapeutic time window within 4.5 h following ischemic stroke (IS), increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and subsequent neurotoxicity. Studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome activation reversely regulated by the PGC-1α leads to microglial polarization and pyroptosis to cause damage to nerve cells and the blood-brain barrier.

Through bioinformatics screening, we previously found that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) expression, an mA demethylase, was higher in patients with heart failure than in the normal population. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which ALKBH5 regulates heart failure. We established a myocardial infarction (MI)-induced heart failure model in rats in vivo and an in vitro hypoxia model using rat primary cardiac fibroblasts (RCFs).

Background: The NOD-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome is at the signaling hub center to instigate inflammation in response to pathogen infection or oxidative stress, and its tight control is pivotal for immune defense against infection while avoiding parallel intensive inflammatory tissue injury. Acetylation of NLRP3 is critical for the full activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, while the precise regulation of the acetylation and deacetylation circuit of NLRP3 protein remained to be fully understood.

Methods: The interaction between histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) and NLRP3 was detected by immunoprecipitation and western blot in the HDAC10 and NLRP3 overexpressing cells.
