Background: Airway remodeling in patients with asthma was correlated with induced epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) of bronchial epithelial cells.

Objective: This study examined the mechanism of Linc00511 on induced EMT of bronchial epithelial cells after transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induction.

Methods: The human bronchial epithelial cell 16HBE was treated with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 12 h, 24 h, or 48 h to induce EMT. Cell proliferation and migration rate were detected using CCK8 and wound healing assays, respectively. The expression of key markers of EMT (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Small mothers against decapentaplegic family member 3 [Smad3], and slug) was tested by Western blot.

Results: We found that Linc00511 was time dependently increased in TGF-β-treated 16HBE cells. Silencing Linc00511 reduced 16HBE cell proliferation, migration, and EMT progress. In addition, the dual-luciferase reporter assay showed Linc00511 was a molecular sponge for miR-16-5p. MiR-16-5p decreased the expression of Smad3 by targeting its 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR). After TGF-β1 exposure, miR-16-5p silencing counteracted the decreases of 16HBE cell proliferation, migration, and EMT induced by Linc00511 knockdown. And Smad3 overexpression also reversed the inhibitory effect of Linc00511 knockdown on proliferation, migration, and EMT progression in TGF-β1-induced human bronchial epithelial cells.

Conclusion: Linc00511 may be a valuable biomarker for asthma therapy.

Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution. PM exposure is linked to numerous adverse health effects, including chronic lung diseases. Air quality guidelines designed to regulate levels of ambient PM are currently based on the mass concentration of different particle sizes, independent of their origin and chemical composition.

In this preliminary study, the long-term effects of calcium chloride crosslinking concentration on viability of 16HBE14o- human bronchial epithelial cells embedded in alginate-extracellular matrix (ECM) or alginate-methylcellulose-ECM hydrogels have been investigated. There is currently a limited understanding regarding the effects of crosslinking solution concentration on lung epithelial cells embedded in hydrogel. Furthermore, the effects of calcium chloride concentration in crosslinking solutions on other cell types have not been reported regarding whether the addition of viscosity and stiffness tuning agents such as methylcellulose will alter the responses of cells to changes in calcium chloride concentration in crosslinking solutions.
