The lung is a vital organ for the body as the main source of oxygen input. Importantly, it is also an internal organ that has direct contact with the outside world. Innate immunity is a vital protective system in various organs, whereas, in the case of the lung, it helps maintain a healthy, functioning cellular and molecular environment and prevents any overt damage caused by pathogens or other inflammatory processes.

Several microRNAs (miRNAs) emerged as powerful regulators of fibrotic processes, "fibromiRs", and can also influence the expression of genes responsible for the generation of reactive oxygen species, "redoximiRs". We aimed to investigate whether plasma exosomes from hypertensive and diabetes patients are enriched in fibromiRs and redoximiRs using deep sequencing technology and their association with relevant signalling pathways implicated in oxidative stress and fibrogenesis by GO terms and KEGG pathways. RNA-Seq analysis from P-EXO identified 31 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs in patients compared to controls, of which 77% are biofluid specific.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a multisystemic disease, i.e., influencing various organ systems beyond the liver and, thus, contributing to comorbidities.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an immuno-inflammatory rheumatic disease that can affect both the skin and internal organs through fibrosis. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one of the most severe secondary complications. Structural changes in the vascular bed lead to increased pressures in the pulmonary circulation, severely impacting the right heart and significantly affecting mortality.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern caused by conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and chronic nephritis, leading to structural and functional kidney injury. Kidney fibrosis is a common outcome of CKD progression, with abnormal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disrupting renal energy homeostasis and leading to functional impairments. This results in maladaptive repair mechanisms and the secretion of profibrotic factors, and exacerbates renal fibrosis.
