Background: The purpose of this study was to probe the specific role of long noncoding RNA taurine upregulation 1 (LncRNA TUG1) in viral myocarditis (VMC).

Methods: The mouse model of VMC was induced by Coxsackievirus type B3 (CVB3). LncRNA TUG1 was subsequently silenced, and micro-140-3p (miR-140-3p) was overexpressed in VMC mice. GenePharma synthesized wild-type and mutant LncRNA TUG1 or CXCL8 (C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 8, Interleukin-8) fragments containing the miR-140-3p binding site and cloned them into the pmirGLO luciferase reporter vector. Dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to test the activity of LncRNA TUG1 or CXCL8 fragments containing miR-140-3p mimic and mimic NC. The effects of silencing LncRNA TUG1 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation in the VMC mouse model and in vitro were investigated by flow cytometry, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and western blot.

Results: In the VMC mouse model, LncRNA TUG1 and CXCL8 were upregulated, while miR-140-3p was downregulated. Suppressing LncRNA TUG1 led to inhibition of CXCL8 by promoting miR-140-3p. Suppressing LncRNA TUG1 or CXCL8 or restoring miR-140-3p were observed to increase cell viability and decrease apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes.

Conclusion: LncRNA TUG1 knockdown suppresses inflammation and damage of VMC cardiomyocytes via the miR-140-3p/CXCL8 axis.

Microglia, the central nervous system's primary immune cells, play a key role in the progression of cerebral ischemic stroke, particularly through their involvement in pyroptosis. The long non-coding RNA taurine up-regulated gene 1 (Tug1) is elevated during ischemic stroke and is critical in driving post-stroke neuroinflammation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • * The TGF-β signaling pathway plays a dual role in cancer, acting as a tumor suppressor in early stages while potentially promoting metastasis in advanced stages, making its regulation complex and significant in cancer treatment.
  • * Understanding how TGF-β interacts with noncoding RNAs like lncRNA TUG1 and miR-21 is essential for exploring new therapies for CRC, as these interactions significantly impact disease progression.
