Mater Today Bio 2024; 28:101182. [PMID: 39205874 PMCID: PMC11357808 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Prosthesis-induced pathological calcification is a significant challenge in biomaterial applications and is often associated with various reconstructive medical procedures. It is uncertain whether the fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) adjacent to biomaterials directly triggers osteogenic trans-differentiation in nearby cells. To investigate this possibility, we engineered a heterogeneous polystyrene fibrous matrix (PSF) designed to mimic the ECM. Our findings revealed that the myoblasts grown on this PSF acquired osteogenic properties, resulting in mineralization both in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptomic analyses indicated a notable upregulation in the expression of the long noncoding RNA metastsis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (Malat1) in the C2C12 myoblasts cultured on PSF. Intriguingly, silencing Malat1 curtailed the PSF-induced mineralization and downregulated the expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (Bmps) and osteogenic markers. Further, we found that PSF prompted the activation of Yap1 signaling and epigenetic modifications in the Malat1 promoter, crucial for the expression of Malat1. These results indicate that the fibrous matrix adjacent to biomaterials can instigate Malat1 upregulation, subsequently driving osteogenic trans-differentiation in myoblasts and ectopic calcification through its transcriptional regulation of osteogenic genes, including Bmps. Our findings point to a novel therapeutic avenue for mitigating prosthesis-induced pathological calcification, heralding new possibilities in the field of biomaterial-based therapies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 ( MALAT1 ) is a well-established oncogenic long non-coding RNA, the higher expression of which is strongly correlated with cancer events such as tumorigenesis, progression, metastasis, drug resistance, and treatment outcome in solid cancers. Recently, a series of studies has highlighted its potential role in hematological malignancies in terms of these events. Similar to solid cancers, MALAT1 can regulate various target genes via sponging and epigenetic mechanisms, but the miRNAs sponged by MALAT1 differ from those identified in solid cancers. In this review, we systematically describe the role and underlying mechanisms of MALAT1 in multiple types of hematological malignancies, including regulation of cell proliferation, metastasis, stress response, and glycolysis. Clinically, MALAT1 expression is related to poor treatment outcome and drug resistance, therefore exhibiting potential prognostic value in multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia. Finally, we discuss the evaluation of MALAT1 as a novel therapeutic target against cancer in preclinical studies.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common digestive emergency, needs early prediction and recognition. The study examined the clinical value of long non-coding RNA SNHG1 in AP, and explored its related mechanism for AP. A total of 288 AP cases and 150 healthy persons were recruited, the AP patients were grouped based on AP severity. AR42J cells were treated with 100nM caerulein to stimulate AP in vitro. qRT-PCR was performed for mRNA detection. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn for diagnostic significance evaluation. The relationship of SNHG1 and miR-140-3p was verified via luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. AP cases had high expression of SNHG1, and it can differentiate AP cases from healthy people with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.899. Severe AP cases had high values of SNHG1, which was independently related to AP severity. SNHG1 knockdown relieved caerulein-induced AR42J cell apoptosis and inflammatory response. miR-140-3p interacted with SNHG1, and reversed the role of SNHG1 in caerulein-induced AR42J cell injury. RAB21 was a candidate target of miR-140-3p, and was at high expression in AP cell models. SNHG1 may be a promising biomarker for the detection of AP, and serves as a potential biological marker for further risk stratification in the management of AP. SNHG1 knockdown can relieve inflammatory responses and pancreatic cell apoptosis by absorbing miR-140-3p.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly malignant disease with a 5-year survival rate of only 10%. Families with PC are at greater risk, as are type 2 diabetes, pancreatitis, and other factors. Insufficient early detection methods make this cancer have a poor prognosis. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms underlying PC development remain unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to PC pathology,which may control gene expression by recruiting histone modification complexes to chromatin and interacting with proteins and RNAs. In recent studies, abnormal regulation of lncRNAs has been implicated in PC proliferation, metastasis, invasion, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and chemotherapy resistance suggesting potential clinical implications. The paper reviews the progress of lncRNA research in PC about diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, cancer metastasis, tumor microenvironment regulation, and chemoresistance. Furthermore, lncRNAs may serve as potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for PC diagnosis and prognosis. This will help improve PC patients' survival rate from a lncRNA perspective.

Abstract
Macrophages (Mφ) are long-lived myeloid cells that can polarize towards the proinflammatory M1 or proresolving M2 phenotype to control diverse biological processes such as inflammation, tissue damage, and regeneration. Noncoding RNA are a class of nonprotein-coding transcriptome with numerous interdependent biological roles; however, their functional interaction in the regulation of Mφ polarization and immune responses remain unclear. Here, we show antagonistic relationship between lncRNA (MALAT1) and microRNA (miR-30b) in shaping macrophage polarization and immune functions. MALAT1 expression displays a time-dependent induction during Mφ differentiation and, upon challenge with TLR4 agonist (E. coli LPS). MALAT1 knockdown promoted the expression of M2Mφ markers without affecting M1Mφ markers, suggesting that MALAT1 favors the M1 phenotype by suppressing M2 differentiation. Compared to the control, MALAT1 knockdown resulted in reduced antigen uptake and processing, bacterial phagocytosis, and bactericidal activity, strongly supporting its critical role in regulating innate immune functions in Mφ. Consistent with this, MALAT1 knockdown showed impaired cytokine secretion upon challenge with LPS. Importantly, MALAT1 exhibit an antagonistic expression pattern with all five members of the miR-30 family during M2 Mφ differentiation. Dual-luciferase assays validated a novel sequence on MALAT1 that interacts with miR-30b, a microRNA that promotes the M2 phenotype. Phagocytosis and antigen processing assays unequivocally demonstrated that MALAT1 and miR-30b are functionally antagonistic. Concurrent MALAT1 knockdown and miR-30b overexpression exhibited the most significant attenuation in both assays. In human subjects with periodontal disease and murine model of ligature-induced periodontitis, we observed higher levels of MALAT1, M1Mφ markers and downregulation of miR-30b expression in gingival tissues suggesting a pro-inflammatory function of MALAT1 in vivo. Overall, we unraveled the role of MALAT1 in Mφ polarization and delineated the underlying mechanism of its regulation by involving MALAT-1-driven miR-30b sequestration.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common acute abdominal diseases characterized by an injury and inflammatory disorder of the pancreas with complicated pathological mechanisms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in various physiological and pathological processes in humans, and they have emerged as potential biomarkers of diagnosis and therapeutic targets in various diseases. Recently, accumulating evidence has shown significant alterations in the expression of lncRNAs, which are involved in the pathogenesis of AP, such as premature trypsinogen activation, impaired autophagy, inflammatory response, and acinar cell death. Moreover, lncRNAs can be the direct target of AP treatment and show potential as biomarkers for the diagnosis. Thus, in this review, we focus on the role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of AP and emphasize the future directions to study lncRNAs in AP, providing new insight into understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of AP and seeking novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and therapeutic targets to improve clinical management in the future.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a kind of reversible inflammatory process of the exocrine pancreas with gastrointestinal motility dysfunction involved. Studies have highlighted the role of long noncoding RNA metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in AP. However, the mechanism underlying its role in the gastrointestinal motility dysfunction remains undefined. Hence, we explored the regulatory role of MALAT1 in gastrointestinal motility dysfunction following SAP. Then, the expression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB), MALAT1 and cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRBP) was detected in plasma of SAP patients and pancreatic and intestinal tissues of SAP mouse models with their correlation analyzed also. Additionally, the effect of MALAT1 on the pancreatic and intestinal injury, expression of inflammatory factors and the ERK pathway-related genes as well as gastrointestinal motility dysfunction was assessed using ectopic expression and depletion experiments. CEBPB, MALAT1 and CIRBP were highly expressed in plasma of SAP patients and pancreatic and intestinal tissues of SAP mice. Further analysis showed that knockdown of MALAT1 could alleviate pancreatic and intestinal injury, reduce inflammation, and prevent gastrointestinal motility dysfunction in SAP mice. The transcription factor CEBPB could bind to the promoter region of MALAT1, thus activating the transcription of MALAT1. MALAT1 interacted with CIRBP and inhibited the degradation of CIRBP, leading to activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway and the resultant gastrointestinal motility dysfunction. In conclusion, CEBPB exhibits a promoting activity towards gastrointestinal motility dysfunction in SAP by pumping up MALAT1 expression and activating the CIRBP-dependent ERK pathway.

Abstract
Pancreatitis (acute and chronic) is an inflammatory disease associated with significant morbidity, including a high rate of hospitalization and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRs) are essential post-transcriptional modulators of gene expression. They are crucial in many diseases' development and progression. Recent studies have demonstrated aberrant miRs expression patterns in pancreatic tissues obtained from patients experiencing acute and chronic pancreatitis compared to tissues from unaffected individuals. Increasing evidence showed that miRs regulate multiple aspects of pancreatic acinar biology, such as autophagy, mitophagy, and migration, impact local and systemic inflammation and, thus, are involved in the disease development and progression. Notably, multiple miRs act on pancreatic acinar cells and regulate the transduction of signals between pancreatic acinar cells, pancreatic stellate cells, and immune cells, and provide a complex interaction network between these cells. Importantly, recent studies from various animal models and patients' data combined with advanced detection techniques support their importance in diagnosing and treating pancreatitis. In this review, we plan to provide an up-to-date summary of the role of miRs in the development and progression of pancreatitis.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent clinical condition of the digestive system, with a growing frequency each year. Approximately 20% of patients suffer from severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with local consequences and multi-organ failure, putting a significant strain on patients' health insurance. According to reports, the lungs are particularly susceptible to SAP. Acute respiratory distress syndrome, a severe type of acute lung injury (ALI), is the primary cause of mortality among AP patients. Controlling the mortality associated with SAP requires an understanding of the etiology of AP-associated ALI, the discovery of biomarkers for the early detection of ALI, and the identification of potentially effective drug treatments. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm that are actively released into tissue fluids to mediate biological functions. Exosomes are laden with bioactive cargo, such as lipids, proteins, DNA, and RNA. During the initial stages of AP, acinar cell-derived exosomes suppress forkhead box protein O1 expression, resulting in M1 macrophage polarization. Similarly, macrophage-derived exosomes activate inflammatory pathways within endothelium or epithelial cells, promoting an inflammatory cascade response. On the other hand, a part of exosome cargo performs tissue repair and anti-inflammatory actions and inhibits the cytokine storm during AP. Other reviews have detailed the function of exosomes in the development of AP, chronic pancreatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis. The discoveries involving exosomes at the intersection of AP and acute lung injury (ALI) are reviewed here. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of exosomes in AP and associated ALI. With the continuous improvement of technological tools, the research on exosomes has gradually shifted from basic to clinical applications. Several exosome-specific non-coding RNAs and proteins can be used as novel molecular markers to assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of AP and associated ALI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs and related signaling pathways, contributing to understanding the molecular mechanism of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP). METHODS First, peripheral whole blood samples from five acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, five ARP patients and five healthy individuals ( N ) were collected for RNA sequencing. Second, differentially/specifically expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs were identified in AP vs. N , ARP vs. N and ARP. Third, the ceRNA (lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA) networks of common/specifical lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs were constructed in AP vs. N , ARP vs. N and ARP. Finally, functional analysis of common mRNAs in AP vs. N and ARP vs. N was performed. RESULTS A total of 315 common lncRNAs, 12 common miRNAs and 909 common mRNAs were identified between AP and ARP. Ninety-four specifically expressed lncRNAs, one specifically expressed miRNAs and 286 specifically expressed mRNAs were found in ARP. Some interaction pairs were identified in AP and ARP, such as LUCAT1/NEAT1-hsa-miR-16-2-3p-HK2, CHRM3-AS2-hsa-miR-122-5p/hsa-miR-145-3p-DBH/CACNA1C, CHRM3-AS2-hsa-miR-200a-3p-PDGFD, RBM26-AS1-hsa-miR-200b-3p-FHIT and LINC00891/KTN1-AS1-hsa-miR-143-3p-tyrosine kinase (TXK). ASAP1-IT2/DGCR9-hsa-miR-342-5p-ABCC5/MAP2K6 was the only one specific interaction pair identified in ARP. Four significantly enriched signaling pathways were identified in AP vs. N and ARP vs. N , including amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism (involved NPL and HK2), MAPK signaling pathway (involved CACNA1C and PDGFD), metabolic pathways (involved DBH and FHIT) and leukocyte transendothelial migration (involved TXK). CONCLUSION The identified altered lncRNAs, miRNAs, mRNAs and related signaling pathways may be involved in the AP development and recurrence.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Hepatocyte-Derived lncRNA MALAT1 Aggravates Pancreatic Cell Inflammation via the Inhibition of Autophagy by Upregulating YAP. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2022; 2022:2930960. [PMID: 36093484 PMCID: PMC9452936 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2930960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, which causes death with a high mortality rate of about 30%. The study aims to identify whether the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-derived lncRNA MALAT1 participates in the inflammation of pancreatic cell and its potential mechanism. Methods The NAFLD cell model was constructed by treating HepG2 cells with FFA. The in vitro model of acute pancreatitis (AP) was established by the administration of caerulein on AR42J cells. MALAT1 and si-MALAT1 were transfected into pancreatic cells, and then exosomes were collected from the NAFLD cell model and then were cocultured with AR42J cells. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of exosomes. Oil Red O staining was applied to reveal the lipid deposition. The triglyceride, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were detected using ELISA. The MALAT1 level in exosomes was detected by qRT-PCR. The CD9, CD63, CD81, and CYP2E1, LC3II, and LC3I levels were detected by western blot. Results MALAT1 was upregulated in NAFLD-derived exosomes and increased the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in pancreatic cells. NAFLD-derived exosomes inhibited YAP phosphorylation, decreased the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, and reduced the ratio of LC3II/LC3I protein in pancreatic cells. Silencing MALAT1 significantly returned the inhibitory effect of NAFLD on hippo-YAP pathway. YAP1 signal transduction inhibitor CA3 reversed the decrease of LC3II/LC3I expression and the increase of IL-6 and TNF-α levels induced by MALAT1 in the AP cell model. Conclusions NAFLD-derived MALAT1 exacerbates pancreatic cell inflammation via inhibiting autophagy by upregulating YAP.

Abstract
Mechanical force, being so ubiquitous that it is often taken for granted and overlooked, is now gaining the spotlight for reams of evidence corroborating their crucial roles in the living body. The bone, particularly, experiences manifold extraneous force like strain and compression, as well as intrinsic cues like fluid shear stress and physical properties of the microenvironment. Though sparkled in diversified background, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) concerning the mechanotransduction process that bone undergoes are not yet detailed in a systematic way. Our principal goal in this research is to highlight the potential lncRNA-focused mechanical signaling systems which may be adapted by bone-related cells for biophysical environment response. Based on credible lists of force-sensitive mRNAs and miRNAs, we constructed a force-responsive competing endogenous RNA network for lncRNA identification. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we then illustrated the possible crosstalk between lncRNAs and mRNAs as well as transcriptional factors and mapped lncRNAs to known signaling pathways involved in bone remodeling and mechanotransduction. Last, we developed combinative analysis between predicted and established lncRNAs, constructing a pathway–lncRNA network which suggests interactive relationships and new roles of known factors such as H19. In conclusion, our work provided a systematic quartet network analysis, uncovered candidate force-related lncRNAs, and highlighted both the upstream and downstream processes that are possibly involved. A new mode of bioinformatic analysis integrating sequencing data, literature retrieval, and computational algorithm was also introduced. Hopefully, our work would provide a moment of clarity against the multiplicity and complexity of the lncRNA world confronting mechanical input.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a chronic inflammatory and fibrotic disease of the pancreas, and activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a vital role in the progression of pancreatic fibrosis in CP. It has been reported that long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 11 (SNHG11) is highly expressed in chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients. However, the role of SNHG11 in CP progression is unclear. The purport of the study was to survey the role of SNHG11 in CP. We employed transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 (TGF-β1) to activate human pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs). Expression of SNHG11 was assessed with qRT-PCR. Loss-of-function experiments were executed to evaluate the effects of SNHG11 on the proliferation and migration of TGF-β1-treated PSCs. Some protein levels were detected by western blotting. The regulatory mechanism of SNHG11 was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter and RIP assays. As a result, SNHG11 was upregulated in plasma of CP patients and TGF-β1-treated PSCs. Also, SNHG11 inhibition reduced TGF-β1-induced proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation in PSCs. Mechanistically, SNHG11 regulated leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) expression by sponging miR-34b. Furthermore, miR-34b inhibitor abolished SNHG11 silencing-mediated effects on TGF-β1-treated PSC proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation. LIF overexpression counteracted the repressive influence of miR-34b mimic on proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation of TGF-β1-treated PSCs. In conclusion, SNHG11 knockdown reduced TGF-β1-induced PSC proliferation, migration, and ECM accumulation by the miR-34b/LIF axis.

MALAT1 shuttled by extracellular vesicles promotes M1 polarization of macrophages to induce acute pancreatitis via miR-181a-5p/HMGB1 axis. J Cell Mol Med 2021; 25:9241-9254.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious condition carrying a mortality of 25–40%. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have reported to exert potential functions in cell‐to‐cell communication in diseases such as pancreatitis. Thus, we aimed at investigating the mechanisms by which EV‐encapsulated metastasis‐associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript‐1 (MALAT1) might mediate the M1 polarization of macrophages in AP. Expression patterns of MALAT1, microRNA‐181a‐5p (miR‐181a‐5p) and high‐mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) in serum of AP patients were determined. EVs were isolated from serum and pancreatic cells. The binding affinity among miR‐181a‐5p, MALAT1 and HMGB1 was identified. AP cells were co‐cultured with EVs from caerulein‐treated MPC‐83 cells to determine the levels of M1/2 polarization markers and TLR4, NF‐κB and IKBa. Finally, AP mouse models were established to study the effects of EV‐encapsulated MALAT1 on the M1 polarization of macrophages in AP in vivo. MALAT1 was transferred into MPC‐83 cells via EVs, which promoted M1 polarization of macrophages in AP. MALAT1 competitively bound to miR‐181a‐5p, which targeted HMGB1. Moreover, MALAT1 activated the TLR4 signalling pathway by regulating HMGB1. EV‐encapsulated MALAT1 competitively bound to miR‐181a‐5p to upregulate the levels of IL‐6 and TNF‐α by regulating HMGB1 via activation of the TLR4 signalling pathway, thereby inducing M1 polarization of macrophages in AP. In vivo experimental results also confirmed that MALAT1 shuttled by EVs promoted M1 polarization of macrophages in AP via the miR‐181a‐5p/HMGB1/TLR4 axis. Overall, EV‐loaded MALAT1 facilitated M1 polarization of macrophages in AP via miR‐181a‐5p/HMGB1/TLR4, highlighting a potential target for treating AP.

Abstract
Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a widely studied lncRNA in cancer. Although dispensable for normal physiology, MALAT1 is important for cancer-related pathways regulation. It is localized in the nuclear speckles periphery along with centrally located pre-RNA splicing factors. MALAT1 associated cancer signaling pathways include MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, β-catenin/Wnt, Hippo, VEGF, YAP, etc. Molecular tools such as immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down, reporter assay, Northern blotting, microarray, and q-RT-PCR has been used to elucidate MALAT1's function in cancer pathogenesis. MALAT1 can regulate multiple steps in the development of tumours. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of MALAT1 has been demonstrated in cancers of the breast, cervix, colorectum, gallbladder, lung, ovary, pancreas, prostate, glioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and multiple myeloma. MALAT1 has also emerged as a novel therapeutic target for solid as well as hematological malignancies. In experimental models, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) based strategy has been used for targeting MALAT1. The lncRNA has also been targeted for the chemosensitization and radiosensitization of cancer cells. However, most studies have been performed in preclinical models. How the cross-talk of MALAT1 with other signaling pathways affect cancer pathogenesis is the focus of this article. The diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance of MALAT1 in multiple cancer types are discussed.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a kind of reversible inflammatory process of the exocrine pancreas. During the process, systemic inflammatory syndromes are involved, which relates closely to inflammatory mediators. Baicalin is a type of flavone compound extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and exhibits anti-inflammation effect in several cancers. In this study, baicalin displayed a suppressing role on IL-1[Formula: see text], TNF[Formula: see text] and IL-6 in both cell and mice models. Necrosis was decreased in the baicalin treatment group and got a markedly lower pathological score. In this study, miR-15a is the core intermediate in baicalin regulation, which increased through baicalin treatment and protected pancreas cells and tissues, inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway by targeting MAP2K4. The long non-coding RNA MALAT1 is also a direct target of miR-15a and forms a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network with MAP2K4, which can be regulated by baicalin. In addition, upstream genes, including CDC42 and MAP3K1, were also regulated by baicalin, of which CDC42 was confirmed to form the second ceRNA network with MALAT1 and miR-15a. In conclusion, baicalin exhibits therapeutic activity towards AP by pumping up miR-15a level and inhibiting CDC42/MAP3K1, which affects AP as a brake by targeting MAP2K4 and inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), a serious inflammatory disease of the pancreas, can easily lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most serious complications of SAP. However, the specific pathogenesis of SAP-associated ALI is not fully understood. Crosstalk and multi-mechanisms involving pancreatic necrosis, bacteremia, intestinal barrier failure, activation of inflammatory cascades and diffuse alveolar damage is the main reason for the unclear pathological mechanism of SAP-associated ALI. According to previous research on SAP-associated ALI in our laboratory and theories put forward by other scholars, we propose that the complex pattern of SAP-associated ALI is based on the "pancreas-intestine-inflammation/endotoxin-lung (P-I-I/E-L) pathway". In this review, we mainly concentrated on the specific details of the "P-I-I/E-L pathway" and the potential treatments or preventive measures for SAP-associated ALI.
