Abstract
INTRODUCTION Combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS) is a concurrent allergic symptom of diseases of allergic rhinitis and asthma. However, the mechanism of CARAS remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the impact of microRNA-21 (miR-21) on CARAS via targeting poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways. METHODS The levels of miR-21-5p and PARP-1 in CARAS patients were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). An ovalbumin-sensitized mouse model of CARAS was established. And knock down of miR-21-5p was constructed by intranasally administering with miR-21-5p shRNA-encoding adeno-associated virus vector. Airway resistance and airway inflammatory response were detected. ELISA was used to evaluate IL-4/IL-5/IL-13 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Expression levels of E-cadherin, fibronectin, and α-SMA were determined using Western blotting. The levels of PARP-1 and the activation of PI3K/AKT were assayed. RESULTS Downregulation of miR-21-5p relieved pathophysiological symptoms of asthma including airway hyperreactivity and inflammatory cell infiltration. Downregulation of miR-21-5p significantly reduced the levels of IL4, IL-5, and IL-13 in BALF. Additionally, downregulation of miR-21-5p inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in CARAS mice. Furthermore, miR-21-5p regulated PARP-1 and was involved in PI3K/AKT activation in CARAS mice. CONCLUSION Downregulation of miR-21-5p ameliorated CARAS-associated lung injury by alleviating airway inflammation, inhibiting the EMT process, and regulating PARP-1/PI3K/AKT in a mouse model of CARAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) infection remains a crucial global health challenge, with active tuberculosis (ATB) representing main infection source. MicroRNA (miRNA) has emerged as a potential diagnostic tool in this context. This study aims to identify candidate miRNAs for ATB diagnosis and explore their possible mechanisms. METHODS Differentially expressed miRNAs in ATB were summarized in qualitative analysis. The diagnostic values of miRNAs for ATB subtypes were assessed by overall sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve. Additionally, we conducted enrichment analysis on miRNAs and target genes. RESULTS Over 100 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, with miR-29 family being the most extensively studied. The miR-29 family demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve of 80 %, 80 % and 0.86 respectively for active pulmonary TB (PTB). The differentially expressed miR-29-target genes in PTB were enriched in immune-related pathways. CONCLUSIONS The miR-29 family exhibits good diagnostic value for active PTB and shows association with immune process.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs with a length of 20-24 nucleotides. They bind to the 3'-untranslated region of target genes to induce the degradation of target mRNAs or inhibit their translation. Therefore, they are involved in the regulation of development, apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation and other biological processes (including hormone secretion, signaling and viral infections). Chronic diseases in children may be difficult to treat and are often associated with malnutrition resulting from a poor diet. Consequently, further complications, disease aggravation and increased treatment costs impose a burden on patients and their families. Existing evidence suggests that microRNAs are involved in various chronic non-neoplastic diseases in children. The present review discusses the roles of microRNAs in five major chronic diseases in children, namely, diabetes mellitus, congenital heart diseases, liver diseases, bronchial asthma and epilepsy, providing a theoretical basis for them to become therapeutic biomarkers in chronic pediatric diseases.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a widely-studied class of non-coding RNAs characterized by their short length (18-25 nucleotides). The precise functions of miRNAs are not well-elucidated; however, an increasing number of studies suggest their involvement in various physiologic processes and deregulation in pathologic conditions. miRNA-185 (miR-185) is among the mostly-studied miRNAs in human diseases, which is found to play putative roles in conditions like metabolic disorders, asthma, frailty, schizophrenia, and hepatitis. Notably, many cancer studies report the downregulation of miR-185 in cell lines, tumor tissues, and plasma specimens of patients, while it demonstrates a suppressing role on the malignant properties of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Accordingly, miR-185 can be considered a tumor suppressor miRNA in human malignancies, while a few studies also report inconsistent findings. Being suggested as a prognostic/diagnostic biomarker, mi-185 is also found to offer clinical potentials, particularly for early diagnosis and prediction of the prognosis of cancer patients. In this review, we have outlined the studies that have evaluated the functions and clinical significance of miR-185 in different human diseases with a particular focus on cancer.

Differentially expressed microRNAs in peripheral blood cell are associated with downregulated expression of IgE in nonallergic childhood asthma. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6381.

Abstract
Childhood asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation, leading to a broad range of clinical presentations. Nonallergic asthma is asthma without allergic sensitization. Both clinical manifestations and immunopathological mechanisms of nonallergic childhood asthma were rarely investigated. We aimed to compare the clinical features between nonallergic and allergic childhood asthma and apply microRNA to explore the underlying mechanism of nonallergic childhood asthma. We enrolled 405 asthmatic children (76 nonallergic, 52 allergic with total IgE < 150 IU/mL and 277 allergic with total IgE > 150 IU/mL). Clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Comprehensive miRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed using peripheral blood from 11 nonallergic and 11 allergic patients with elevated IgE, respectively. Differentially expressed miRNA (DEmiRNA) were determined with DESeq2. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed to determine functional pathways involved. Publicly available mRNA expression data was applied to investigate the predicted target mRNA networks via Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). The average age of nonallergic asthma was significantly younger (5.614 ± 2.743 vs 6.676 ± 3.118 years-old). Higher severity and worse control were more common in nonallergic asthma (two-way ANOVA, P < 0.0001). Long-term severity was higher, and intermittent attacks persisted in nonallergic patients. We identified 140 top DEmiRNAs based on false discovery rate (FDR) q-value < 0.001. Forty predicted target mRNA gene were associated with nonallergic asthma. The enriched pathway based on GO included Wnt signaling pathway. IgE expression was predicted to be downregulated by a network involving simultaneous interaction with IL-4, activation of IL-10 and inhibition of FCER2. Nonallergic childhood asthma were distinct in their younger age, higher long-term severity and more persistent course. Differentially expressed miRNA signatures associate with downregulation of total IgE expression and predicted target mRNA genes related molecular networks contribute to canonical pathways of nonallergic childhood asthma. We demonstrated the negative role of miRNAs involved in regulating IgE expression indicating differences between asthma phenotypes. Identification of biomarkers of miRNAs could contribute to understand the molecular mechanism of endotypes in nonallergic childhood asthma, which can potentially allow delivery of precision medicine to pediatric asthma.

Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, Th2-inflammatory disease of the esophagus that can severely affect food intake. Currently, diagnosis and assessing response to treatment of EoE is highly invasive and requires endoscopy with esophageal biopsies. Finding non-invasive and accurate biomarkers is important for improving patient well-being. Unfortunately, EoE is usually accompanied by other atopies, which make it difficult to identify specific biomarkers. Providing an update of circulating EoE biomarkers and concomitant atopies is therefore timely. This review summarizes the current knowledge in EoE blood biomarkers and two of its most common comorbidities, bronchial asthma (BA) and atopic dermatitis (AD), focusing on dysregulated proteins, metabolites, and RNAs. It also revises the current knowledge on extracellular vesicles (EVs) as non-invasive biomarkers for BA and AD, and concludes with the potential use of EVs as biomarkers in EoE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of miRNAs remain to be fully understood. This study aimed to explore the profile of serum exosome-derived miRNAs in the rat model of COPD. METHODS We established the COPD rat model by cigarette smoke exposure (CSE). The pulmonary function and morphological changes were analyzed. Serum exosomes were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and western blotting. The differentially expressed miRNAs between COPD and healthy rats were screened from exosome-derived small RNA library using bioinformatics analysis and experimentally verified in rat lung tissues by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS The pulmonary function indexes in COPD rats were significantly decreased compared to control rats. The typical pathological manifestations of emphysema were observed in COPD rats. Marker proteins (CD9, CD63, and TSG101) and characteristic morphology features were detected in serum exosomes. Fifteen differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in the small RNA library. In addition, we confirmed that the expression of miR-185-5p and miR-182-5p was significantly down-regulated in the lung tissues of COPD rats compared to control rats. CONCLUSION The expression of miR-185-5p and miR-182-5p was down-regulated in serum-derived exosomes and lung tissues of COPD rats, indicating that these two miRNAs might be involved in the development of COPD and might serve as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miR)-185-5p participates in the pathology of asthma by regulating immune imbalance, inflammation, periostin synthesis, and smooth muscle contraction. This study intended to explore the dysregulation of miR-185p and its correlation with T-helper (Th)1, Th2 cells, and inflammatory cytokines in childhood asthma. METHODS In 150 childhood asthma patients and 30 healthy controls (HCs), miR-185-5p from peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Th cells from peripheral blood samples were detected using flow cytometry, inflammatory cytokines from serum samples were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS MiR-185-5p was increased in childhood asthma patients versus HCs [median (interquartile range (IQR)): 2.315 (1.770-3.855) versus 1.005 (0.655-1.520)] (P < 0.001). Meanwhile, miR-185-5p was negatively associated with Th1 cells (P = 0.035) but positively correlated with Th2 cells (P = 0.006) and IL-4 (P = 0.003) in childhood asthma patients; however, miR-185-5p was not linked to Th1 cells, Th2 cells, IFN-γ, or IL-4 in HCs (all P > 0.05). In addition, miR-185-5p was positively related to TNF-α (P < 0.001), IL-1β (P = 0.015), and IL-6 (P = 0.008) in childhood asthma patients, miR-185-5p was only linked to TNF-α (P = 0.040) but not IL-1β or IL-6 (both P > 0.05) in HCs. Moreover, miR-185-5p was increased in exacerbated childhood asthma patients versus remissive patients [median (IQR): 3.170 (2.070-4.905) versus 1.900 (1.525-2.615)] (P < 0.001). Besides, miR-185-5p was highest in patients with severe exacerbation followed by patients with moderate exacerbation, and lowest in patients with mild exacerbation (P = 0.010). CONCLUSION MiR-185-5p is associated with imbalanced Th1/Th2 cells, increased inflammatory cytokines along with elevated exacerbation risk, and severity in childhood asthma patients.

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease in children characterized by airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling. Childhood asthma is usually associated with allergy and atopy, unlike adult asthma, which is commonly associated with obesity, smoking, etc. The pathogenesis and diagnosis of childhood asthma also remains more challenging than adult asthma, such as many diseases showing similar symptoms may coexist and be confused with asthma. In terms of the treatment, although most childhood asthma can potentially be self-managed and controlled with drugs, approximately 5-10% of children suffer from severe uncontrolled asthma, which carries significant health and socioeconomic burdens. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the pathogenesis of childhood asthma from a new perspective. Studies have revealed that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of respiratory diseases. In addition, altered expression of ncRNAs in blood, and in condensate of sputum or exhalation affects the progression of asthma via regulating immune response. In this review, we outline the regulation and pathogenesis of asthma and summarize the role of ncRNAs in childhood asthma. We also hold promise that ncRNAs may be used for the development of biomarkers and support a new therapeutic strategy for childhood asthma.

[PMID: 34435353 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The researches on the associations between different candidate genes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are inconsistent. Here, we performed a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis to estimate the contribution of variants from candidate genes to the risk of OSA. METHODS Qualitative analysis was conducted to find the relationships for all included genes. Then, quantitative analysis of both allele models and genotype models was applied to evaluate the risk variants for OSA. Furthermore, a similar analysis was performed in different ethnic groups. RESULTS We included 152 publications containing 75 genes for qualitative analysis. Among them, we included 93 articles containing 28 variants from 16 genes for quantitative analysis. Through allele models, we found 10 risk variants for OSA (rs1801133 of MTHFR, ɛ4 of ApoE, -1438G/A of 5-HT2A, -308G/A of TNF-α, Pro1019Pro of LEPR, rs1130864 and rs2794521 of CRP, D/I of ACE, LPR and VNTR of 5-HTT) with the ORs of 1.21-2.07 in global population. We found that the variant of ɛ2 of ApoE could uniquely decrease the risk of OSA in the East Asian subgroup, while the other 6 variants, including ɛ4 in ApoE, -308G/A in TNF-α, Pro1019Pro in LEPR, D/I in ACE, LPR and VNTR in 5-HTT, could increase the risk of OSA. As for the European subpopulation, we only found that -308G/A in TNF-α could increase the risk for OSA. CONCLUSIONS Eleven variants from the candidate genes are associated with the risk of OSA, which also show ethnicity differences in East Asian and European subgroups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are good candidates as biomarkers for Lung cancer (LC). The aim of this article is to figure out the diagnostic value of both single and combined miRNAs in LC. METHODS Normative meta-analysis was conducted based on PRISMA. We assessed the diagnostic value by calculating the combined sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR) and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and the area under the curve (AUC) of single and combined miRNAs for LC and specific subgroups. RESULTS A total of 80 qualified studies with a total of 8971 patients and 10758 controls were included. In non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), we involved 20 single-miRNAs and found their Sen, Spe and AUC ranged from 0.52-0.81, 0.66-0.88, and 0.68-0.90, respectively, specially, miR-19 with the maximum Sen, miR-20 and miR-10 with the highest Spe as well as miR-17 with the maximum AUC. Additionally, we detected miR-21 with the maximum Sen of 0.74 [95%CI: 0.62-0.83], miR-146 with the maximum Spe and AUC of 0.93 [95%CI: 0.79-0.98] and 0.89 [95%CI: 0.86-0.92] for early-stage NSCLC. We also identified the diagnostic power of available panel (miR-210, miR-31 and miR-21) for NSCLC with satisfying Sen, Spe and AUC of 0.82 [95%CI: 0.78-0.84], 0.87 [95%CI: 0.84-0.89] and 0.91 [95%CI: 0.88-0.93], and furtherly constructed 2 models for better diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS We identified several single miRNAs and combined groups with high diagnostic power for NSCLC through pooled quantitative analysis, which shows that specific miRNAs are good biomarker candidates for NSCLC and further researches needed.
