Background: Fat embolism (FE) and the consequent FE syndrome occurring after trauma or surgery can lead to serious pulmonary injury, including ARDS and death. Current treatment of FE syndrome is limited to supportive therapy. We have shown in a rat model that the renin angiotensin system plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of FE because drugs interfering with the renin angiotensin system, captopril and losartan reduce the histopathologic pulmonary damage.

miR-28-3p is a cellular restriction factor that inhibits human T cell leukemia virus, type 1 (HTLV-1) replication and virus infection.

From the University of Kansas Medical Center, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Center for Viral Oncology, Kansas City, Kansas 66160
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the microRNA miR-28-3p in inhibiting the replication and expression of Human T cell leukemia virus, type 1 (HTLV-1) by targeting its viral mRNA.
- The researchers developed a new sensitive assay to show that miR-28-3p acts post-entry of the virus, blocking reverse transcription rather than virus entry.
- They also discovered that a specific mutation in the HTLV-1 Japanese strain ATK-1 allows it to escape inhibition by miR-28-3p, which may contribute to its efficient transmission between spouses.
