Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 ( MALAT1 ) plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of diabetes-related complications. However, whether macrophage-derived MALAT1 affects autophagic activity under hyperglycemic conditions is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of macrophage-derived MALAT1 and autophagy under hyperglycemic conditions. METHODS Hyperglycemia was induced by culturing macrophages in 25 mM glucose for 1 hour. Exosomes were extracted from the culture media. A rat model of carotid artery balloon injury was established to assess the effect of MALAT1 on vascular injury. Reverse transcription, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, immunohistochemical staining, and luciferase activity assays were performed. RESULTS Stimulation with high levels of glucose significantly enhanced MALAT1 expression in macrophage-derived exosomes. MALAT1 inhibited miR-204-5p expression in macrophage-derived exosomes under hyperglycemic conditions. siRNA-induced silencing of MALAT1 significantly reversed macrophage-derived exosome-induced miR-204-5p expression. Hyperglycemic treatment caused a significant, exosome-induced increase in the expression of the autophagy marker LC3B in macrophages. Silencing MALAT1 and overexpression of miR-204-5p significantly decreased LC3B expression induced by macrophage-derived exosomes. Overexpression of miR-204-5p significantly reduced LC3B luciferase activity induced by macrophage-derived exosomes. Balloon injury to the carotid artery in rats significantly enhanced MALAT1 and LC3B expression, and significantly reduced miR-204-5p expression in carotid artery tissue. Silencing MALAT1 significantly reversed miR-204-5p expression in carotid artery tissue after balloon injury. MALAT1 silencing or miR-204-5p overexpression significantly reduced LC3B expression after balloon injury. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that hyperglycemia upregulates MALAT1 . MALAT1 suppresses miR-204-5p expression and counteracts the inhibitory effect of miR-204-5p on LC3B expression in macrophages to promote vascular disease.

[PMID: 38601614 PMCID: PMC11004576 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e28882] [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: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Monocyte-endothelial cell (EC) interactions are one of the earliest events in the development of atherosclerosis and play a crucial role in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Although attempts have been made to modulate this interaction, the underlying molecular signalling mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA MALAT1 in monocyte-EC interactions. Methods The expression of MALAT1, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, P-selectin, CCL2 and CXCL1 was evaluated in ApoE-/- mouse aortic tissues and inflamed human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The regulatory impact of MALAT1 on cell adhesion molecules, monocyte-EC adhesion, and autophagy was assessed. The interactions between MALAT1 and microRNAs (miRNAs) were evaluated using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. Results MALAT1 expression decreased in ApoE-/- mouse aortic tissues and inflammatory HUVECs. MALAT1 overexpression suppressed the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CXCL1, and reduced the migration and adhesion of monocytes to ECs. Inhibition of MALAT1 promoted cell adhesion molecule expression and monocyte-EC interactions. Mechanistically, MALAT1 binds directly to miR-30b-5p and decreases its effective expression by functioning as an endogenous sponge, thereby increasing the expression of autophagy-related gene 5 (ATG5) and stimulates endothelial autophagy. Conclusions Our findings suggest that MALAT1 suppresses monocyte-EC interactions by targeting miR-30b-5p and enhancing ATG5-mediated endothelial autophagy. These data imply that MALAT1 may play a protective role at the early stages of the atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
Over the past century, molecular biology's focus has transitioned from proteins to DNA, and now to RNA. Once considered merely a genetic information carrier, RNA is now recognized as both a vital element in early cellular life and a regulator in complex organisms. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are over 200 bases long but do not code for proteins, play roles in gene expression regulation and signal transduction by inducing epigenetic changes or interacting with various proteins and RNAs. These interactions exhibit a range of functions in various cell types, including macrophages. Notably, some macrophage lncRNAs influence the activation of NF-κB, a crucial transcription factor governing immune and inflammatory responses. Macrophage NF-κB is instrumental in the progression of various pathological conditions including sepsis, atherosclerosis, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and hypersensitivity. It orchestrates gene expression related to immune responses, inflammation, cell survival, and proliferation. Consequently, its malfunction is a key contributor to the onset and development of these diseases. This review aims to summarize the function of lncRNAs in regulating NF-κB activity in macrophage activation and inflammation, with a particular emphasis on their relevance to human diseases and their potential as therapeutic targets. The insights gained from studies on macrophage lncRNAs, as discussed in this review, could provide valuable knowledge for the development of treatments for various pathological conditions involving macrophages.

Abstract
In recent years, research on the mechanism of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has remained in the initial stages, and the mechanism has not been fully elucidated to date. Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in RA bone destruction via autophagy, but the specific regulatory mechanism of lncRNA-mediated autophagy is unclear. Therefore, in this article, we review the mechanisms of lncRNA-mediated autophagy in fibroblast-like synoviocytes and chondrocytes in RA bone destruction. We explain that lncRNAs mediate autophagy and participate in many specific pathological processes of RA bone destruction by regulating signalling pathways and the expression of target genes. Specific lncRNAs can be used as markers for molecular diagnosis, mechanistic regulation, treatment and prognosis of RA.

Abstract
The detection and defense against foreign agents and pathogens by the innate immune system is a crucial mechanism in the body. A comprehensive understanding of the signaling mechanisms involved in innate immunity is essential for developing effective diagnostic tools and therapies for infectious diseases. Innate immune response is a complex process involving recognition of pathogens through receptors, activation of signaling pathways, and cytokine production, which are all crucial for deploying appropriate countermeasures. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are vital regulators of the immune response during infections, mediating the body's defense mechanisms. However, an overactive immune response can lead to tissue damage, and maintaining immune homeostasis is a complex process in which ncRNAs play a significant role. Recent studies have identified microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as key players in controlling gene expression in innate immune pathways, thereby participating in antiviral defenses, tumor immunity, and autoimmune diseases. MiRNAs act by regulating host defense mechanisms against viruses, bacteria, and fungi by targeting mRNA at the post-transcriptional level, while lncRNAs function as competing RNAs, blocking the binding of miRNAs to mRNA. This review provides an overview of the regulatory role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in innate immunity and its mechanisms, as well as highlights potential future research directions, including the expression and maturation of new ncRNAs and the conservation of ncRNAs in evolution.

Abstract
Sirtuins belong to the class III histone deacetylases and possess nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase activity. They are involved in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways implicated in cardiovascular diseases. Autophagy is a crucial adaptive cellular response to stress stimuli. Mounting evidence suggests a strong correlation between Sirtuins and autophagy, potentially involving cross-regulation and crosstalk. Sirtuin-mediated autophagy plays a crucial regulatory role in some cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, ischemia/reperfusion injury, hypertension, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and drug-induced myocardial damage. In this context, we summarize the research advancements pertaining to various Sirtuins involved in autophagy and the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy. We also elucidate the biological function of Sirtuins across diverse cardiovascular diseases and further discuss the development of novel drugs that regulate Sirtuin-mediated autophagy.

Abstract
Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurological disease associated with a high disability rate. Low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been reported to activate cross-immune tolerance and alleviate the effects of various traumatic stimuli. The present study aimed to explore the effect of LPS on SCI and the potential molecular mechanism. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used to established an in vivo SCI model and were intraperitoneally injected with lentivirus particles encoding a MALAT1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) on day 10 prior to SCI and with 0.2 mg/kg LPS 72 h prior to SCI. Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring; HE staining; and TUNEL assay were used to assess neurological function and pathophysiological changes. Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect cell autophagy and Nrf2 nuclear translocation. PC12 cells were exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to establish an in vitro SCI model. In vitro SCI model cells were pretreated with LPS and transfected with siMALAT1 or MALAT1 overexpression plasmid aimed at knocking down MALAT1 or overexpressing MALAT1. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to measure the toxicity of LPS towards PC12 cells. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis were performed to investigate cell apoptosis and Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Results SCI rats preconditioned with low-dose LPS had higher BBB scores, reduced SCI injury, increased MALAT1 expression and activated autophagy and Nrf2 nuclear translocation in the in vivo SCI model. In the in vitro SCI model, low-dose LPS treatment suppressed the apoptotic ratio of PC12 cells, increased MALAT1 expression, activated autophagy, and promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Silencing MALAT1 exacerbated OGD/R injury in vitro and weakened the protective effect of low-dose LPS. Overexpression of MALAT1 inhibits OGD/R-induced apoptosis by inducing autophagy and promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation. This was also been confirmed in animal experiments, silencing MALAT1 blocked the promotion of Nrf2 by low-dose LPS and the alleviated of SCI apoptosis. Conclusions Low-dose LPS exhibited a protective role on SCI by activating autophagy and suppressing nerve cell apoptosis via the lncRNA MALAT1/Nrf2 axis.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are molecules >200 bases in length without protein-coding functions implicated in signal transduction and gene expression regulation via interaction with proteins or RNAs, exhibiting various functions. The expression of lncRNAs has been detected in many cell types, including macrophages, a type of immune cell involved in acute and chronic inflammation, removal of dead or damaged cells, and tissue repair. Increasing evidence indicates that lncRNAs play essential roles in macrophage functions and disease development. Additionally, many animal studies have reported that blockage or modulation of lncRNA functions alleviates disease severity or morbidity rate. The present review summarizes the current knowledge regarding lncRNAs expressed in macrophages, focusing on their molecular targets and the biological processes regulated by them during the development of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis. Possible application of this information to lncRNA-targeting therapy is also discussed. The studies regarding macrophage lncRNAs described in this review can help provide valuable information for developing treatments for various pathological conditions involving macrophages.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have begun to realize the importance of the role of non-coding RNAs in the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. LncRNAs and miRNAs are important non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression and activate mRNA translation through binding to diverse target sites. Their involvement in the regulation of protein function and the modulation of physiological and pathological conditions continues to be investigated. Sirtuins, especially Sirt1, have a critical function in regulating a variety of physiological processes such as oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy. The lncRNAs/miRNAs/Sirt1 axis may be a novel regulatory mechanism, which is involved in the progression and/or prevention of numerous diseases. This review focuses on recent findings on the crosstalk between non-coding RNAs and Sirt1 in myocardial and cerebral injuries and may provide some insight into the development of novel approaches in the treatment of these disorders.Abbreviation: BMECs, brain microvascular endothelial cells; C2dat1, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit delta (CAMK2D)-associated transcript 1; EPCs, endothelial progenitor cells; FOXOs, forkhead transcription factors; GAS5, growth arrest-specific 5; HAECs, human aortic endothelial cells; HAND2-AS1, HAND2 Antisense RNA 1; HIF-1α, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α; ILF3-AS1, interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3-antisense RNA 1; KLF3-AS1, KLF3 antisense RNA 1; LncRNA, long noncoding RNA; LUADT1, Lung Adenocarcinoma Associated Transcript 1; MALAT1, Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1; miRNA, microRNA; NEAT1, nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; OIP5-AS1, Opa-interacting protein 5-antisense transcript 1; Sirt1-AS, Sirt1 Antisense RNA; SNHG7, small nucleolar RNA host gene 7; SNHG8, small nucleolar RNA host gene 8; SNHG12, small nucleolar RNA host gene 12; SNHG15, small nucleolar RNA host gene 15; STAT3, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3; TUG1, taurine up-regulated gene 1; VSMCs, vascular smooth muscle cells; XIST, X inactive specific transcript; ZFAS1, ZNFX1 Antisense RNA 1.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a potential therapeutic target for different kinds of pathologies including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and other conditions. Moreover, identification of SIRT modulators and exploring the functions of these different modulators have prompted increased efforts to discover new small molecules, which can modify SIRT activity. Furthermore, several randomized controlled trials have indicated that different interventions might affect the expression of SIRT protein in human samples, and supplementation of SIRT modulators might have diverse impact on physiological function in different participants. In this review, we introduce the history and structure of the SIRT protein family, discuss the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of seven members of the SIRT protein family, elaborate on the regulatory roles of SIRTs in human disease, summarize SIRT inhibitors and activators, and review related clinical studies.

Abstract
Nowadays, emerging data demonstrate that the toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway plays an important role in the progression of inflammatory atherosclerosis. Indeed, dysregulated TLR signaling pathway could be a cornerstone of inflammation and atherosclerosis, which contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. It is interesting to note that this pathway is heavily controlled by several mechanisms, such as epigenetic factors in which the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs as well as circular RNAs in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been well studied. Recent years have seen a significant surge in the amount of research exploring the interplay between ncRNAs and TLR signaling pathway downstream targets in the development of atherosclerosis; however, there is still considerable room for improvement in this field. The current study was designed to review underlying mechanisms of TLR signaling pathway and ncRNA interactions to shed light on therapeutic implications in patients with atherosclerosis.

[PMID: 36188570 PMCID: PMC9520361 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.977870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Regulation of autophagy affects the progression of atherosclerosis. In recent years, research on autophagy in atherosclerosis has been widely concerned. However, there is no bibliometric analysis in this field. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the general situation, hot spots, and trends of the research in this field through bibliometric analysis. Methods: Articles related to autophagy in atherosclerosis from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used for data analysis and visualization of countries, institutions, authors, keywords, journals, and citations. Results: A total of 988 articles were obtained in the last 10 years. The number of publications and citations increased rapidly from 2012 to 2021, especially after 2019. The most productive countries, institutions, journals, and authors were the People’s Republic of China, Shandong University, Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, and Wim Martinet, respectively. The primary keywords were “oxidative stress,” “apoptosis,” “activated protein kinase,” and “inflammation.” The burst detection analysis of keywords found that “SIRT1” and “long non-coding RNA” might be regarded as the focus of future research. Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric analysis of autophagy in atherosclerosis, which reports the hot spots and emerging trends. The interaction between oxidative stress and autophagy, programmed cell death, and activated protein kinases are considered to be the current research priorities. Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic target for the intervention of atherosclerosis by regulating autophagy will become an emerging research direction.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic disease of the arterial wall. The role of lncRNAs in AS has been acknowledged. This study investigated the role of lncRNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) in AS via the MAPK/NF-κB pathway. Serum samples were collected from AS and non-AS patients. Serum levels of PVT1, CRP, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were determined. AS mouse model was established and transfected with si-PVT1. Levels of TG, TC, HDL, LDL, MAPK, NF-κB, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and macrophage content were detected. Human arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs) induced by 50 mg/mL oxLDL were transfected with si-PVT1 or oe-PVT1 and added with MAPK inhibitor U0126. Viability, apoptosis, cell cycle, colony formation and DNA replication were assessed. Levels of apoptosis-related proteins were detected. Consequently, PVT1 was highly expressed in AS patients. Silencing PVT1 decreased levels of TG, TC, LDL, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, MMP-2, MMP-9, CRP, TIMP-1, MAPK, and NF-κB, increased HDL, reduced atherosclerotic plaques and macrophage content in mice, inhibited viability, clones and EdU positive rates in HA-VSMCs, but promoted apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Inhibition of MAPK/NF-κB pathway suppressed proliferation and promoted apoptosis of HA-VSMCs while PVT1 overexpression facilitated AS development. Briefly, silencing PVT1 inhibited AS development by downregulating MAPK/NF-κB pathway.

Cell Cycle 2021:1-18. [PMID: 34382896 DOI: 10.1080/15384101.2021.1958501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Increasing evidences have confirmed that long non-coding RNA LOXL1-AS1 functions in multiple human diseases. Here, we aim to explore the function and mechanism of LOXL1-AS1 in modulating oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced angiogenesis of endothelial cells (ECs). Presently, we found that LOXL1-AS1 and KLF6 were upregulated in ECs treated by Ox-LDL in a dose- and time-dependent manner while miR-590-5p was downregulated. Overexpression of LOXL1-AS1 aggravated Ox-LDL mediated ECs proliferation and migration, and promoted angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. On the contrary, enhancing miR-590-5p or inhibiting LOXL1-AS1 level led to suppressive effects on the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of ECs. Moreover, LOXL1-AS1 upregulation promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), MMPs (including MMP2, MMP9, and MMP14) and also activated VEGF/VEGFR2/PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway. Mechanistically, LOXL1-AS1 works as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) by sponging miR-590-5p, which targeted at the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of KLF6. Additionally, the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of ECs were elevated following KLF6 upregulation. By detecting the expression of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-590-5p in the serum of healthy donors and atherosclerosis patients, it was found that LOXL1-AS1 was upregulated in atherosclerosis patients (compared with healthy donors) and had a negative relationship with miR-590-5p. Taken together, LOXL1-AS1 promoted Ox-LDL induced angiogenesis via regulating miR-590-5p-modulated KLF6/VEGF signaling pathway. The LOXL1-AS1-miR-590-5p axis exerts a novel role in the progression of atherosclerosis.
