LncRNA THRIL is upregulated in sepsis and sponges miR-19a to upregulate TNF-α in human bronchial epithelial cells.
Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in various diseases. Our bioinformatics analysis showed that lncRNA TNFα and heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNPL) related immunoregulatory LincRNA (THRIL) may interact with miR-19a, which targets TNF-α. This study aimed to explore the role of THRIL, an enhancer of LPS-induced inflammatory, in sepsis.
Methods: Research subjects of the present study included 66 sepsis patients and 66 healthy volunteers. The expression levels of THRIL, miR-19a and TNF-α in plasma samples from these participants were determined by RT-qPCR. The interaction between THRIL and miR-19a was explored by performing overexpression experiments in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpCs). The roles of THRIL, miR-19a and TNF-α in regulating the apoptosis of HBEpCs were analyzed by cell apoptosis assay.
Results: We found that THRIL was upregulated in sepsis patients. THRIL is predicted to interact with miR-19a, and the interaction was confirmed by dual-luciferase activity assay. However, THRIL and miR-19a did not affect the expression of each other. Instead, overexpression of THRIL resulted in the increased expression levels of TNF-α, a downstream target of miR-19a in HBEpCs. In HBEpCs, LPS treatment induced the overexpression of THRIL. Cell apoptosis analysis showed that overexpression of THRIL and TNF-α promoted the apoptosis of HBEpCs induced by LPS, while overexpression of miR-19a played an opposite role. Overexpression of THRIL attenuated the effects of overexpression of miR-19a.
Conclusion: Therefore, THRIL is upregulated in sepsis and may sponge miR-19a to upregulate TNF-α, thereby promoting lung cell apoptosis.
