Alveolar type II (ATII) cells are essential to lung function and a primary site of influenza A virus (IAV) replication. Effects of IAV infection on ATII cell microRNA (miR) expression have not been comprehensively investigated. Infection of C57BL/6 mice with 10,000 or 100 pfu/mouse of IAV A/WSN/33 (H1N1) significantly altered expression of 73 out of 1908 mature murine miRs in ATII cells at 2 days post-infection (d.p.i.) and 253 miRs at 6 d.p.i. miR-155-5p (miR-155) showed the greatest increase in expression within ATII cells at both timepoints and the magnitude of this increase correlated with inoculum size and pulmonary edema severity. Influenza-induced lung injury was attenuated in C57BL/6-congenic miR-155-knockout mice without affecting viral replication. Attenuation of lung injury was dependent on deletion of miR-155 from stromal cells and was recapitulated in ATII cell-specific miR-155-knockout mice. These data suggest that ATII cell miR-155 is a potential therapeutic target for IAV-induced ARDS.

Backgroud: Recent studies have reported mitochondrial damage and metabolic dysregulation in BPD, but the changes in mitochondrial dynamics and glucose metabolic reprogramming in ATII cells and their regulatory relationship have not been reported.
Methods: Neonatal rats in this study were divided into model (FIO2:85%) and control (FIO2: 21%) groups. Lung tissues were extracted at 3, 7, 10 and 14 postnatal days and then conducted HE staining for histopathological observation.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease characterized by recurrent breathing difficulties caused by airway obstruction and hypersensitivity. Although there is diversity in their specific mechanisms, microRNAs (miRNAs) have a significant impact on the development of asthma. Currently, the contribution of miR-130b-3p to asthma remains elusive.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by incomplete closure of the diaphragm. While the ensuing compression to the fetal lung causes lung hypoplasia, specific cellular phenotypes and developmental signaling defects in the alveolar epithelium in CDH are not fully understood. Employing lung samples from human CDH, a surgical lamb model and a nitrogen rat model, we investigate whether lung compression impairs alveolar epithelial differentiation and Yes-associated protein (YAP)-mediated mechanosensing.

Background: Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment in medical treatment, but it may cause or aggravate lung injury, which is called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Studies have shown that CAVIN2 plays an important role in regulating inflammatory responses and cell death. However, its functional mechanism in VILI remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- - Alveolar type II (ATII) cells play a critical role in lung repair but their damage, often caused by cigarette smoke, contributes to the onset of emphysema, marked by destruction of alveolar walls.
- - Researchers examined ATII cells from non-smokers, smokers, and emphysema patients, focusing on the protein PICT1 and its role in disease progression, using both human cell analysis and a murine model.
- - Findings revealed decreased PICT1 levels in emphysema, linked to reduced DNA damage repair capabilities and mitochondrial dysfunction, suggesting that targeting PICT1 could lead to new treatments for the disease.
