Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a multisystemic complex disorder clinically characterised by episodes of spiking fever, evanescent rash, polyarthritis or diffuse arthralgias; multiorgan involvement may develop according to the hyper-inflammatory extent. The pathogenesis of AOSD is not completely recognised. The central role of macrophage activation, which results in T helper 1 (Th1) cell cytokine activation, is well established. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and IL-18 play a fundamental role in disease onset and progression. The disease may develop in both children and adults with overlapping clinical features, and although several subsets depending on the clinical manifestations and the cytokines expressed have been identified, the dichotomy between systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and AOSD nowadays has been overcome, and the pathology is considered a disease continuum between ages. Various therapeutic approaches have been evaluated thus far, and different compounds are under assessment for AOSD treatment. Historically, glucocorticoids have been employed for treating systemic manifestations of Still's disease, while conventional synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) demonstrated efficacy in controlling the articular manifestations. Currently, biological (b) DMARDs are widely employed; IL-1 inhibitors such as anakinra and canakinumab have proven to have high efficacy and an excellent safety profile and the anti-IL-6 tocilizumab is approved for sJIA, with several trials and longitudinal studies confirming its efficacy and safety. Moreover, in the light of the 'window of opportunity', new evidence showed that the earlier these treatments are initiated, the sooner clinical inactivity can be achieved. Other treatment options are being considered since several molecules involved in the disease pathophysiology can be targeted through various mechanisms. This review will provide a broad overview of AOSD pathophysiology, insights into specific organ manifestations and the currently available treatments with the identification of potential therapeutic targets involved in AOSD pathogenesis will be outlined.

[PMID: 38317140 PMCID: PMC10840173 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-024-02421-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is characterized by bone abnormalities, vascular calcification, and some other complications. Although there are diagnostic criteria for CKD-MBD, in situations when conducting target feature examining are unavailable, there is a need to investigate and discover alternative biochemical criteria that are easy to obtain. Moreover, studying the correlations between the newly discovered biomarkers and the existing ones may provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of CKD-MBD. METHODS We collected a cohort of 116 individuals, consisting of three subtypes of CKD-MBD: calcium abnormality, phosphorus abnormality, and PTH abnormality. To identify the best biomarker panel for discrimination, we conducted six machine learning prediction methods and employed a sequential forward feature selection approach for each subtype. Additionally, we collected a separate prospective cohort of 114 samples to validate the discriminative power of the trained prediction models. RESULTS Using machine learning under cross validation setting, the feature selection method selected a concise biomarker panel for each CKD-MBD subtype as well as for the general one. Using the consensus of these features, best area under ROC curve reached up to 0.95 for the training dataset and 0.74 for the perspective dataset, respectively. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION For the first time, we utilized machine learning methods to analyze biochemical criteria associated with CKD-MBD. Our aim was to identify alternative biomarkers that could serve not only as early detection indicators for CKD-MBD, but also as potential candidates for studying the underlying molecular mechanisms of the condition.

Performance of the modified Systemic Manifestation Score for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis in Adult-onset Still's disease. Clin Rheumatol 2023; 42:187-195. [PMID: 36028637 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06340-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the ability of the modified Systemic Manifestation Score (mSMS) and the mPouchot score to distinguish adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) with high disease severity in a large cohort. METHODS We scored the disease severity of 174 patients and categorized them into high and low disease severity states. The correlation of mSMS and mPouchot score with ESR, CRP, ferritin, liver function tests, and serum cytokines was investigated. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression analysis were performed to compare the ability of mSMS and mPouchot to distinguish patients with severe AOSD. RESULTS Both mSMS and mPouchot score were positively correlated with ESR (both P < 0.001), CRP (both P < 0.0001), and serum ferritin (both P < 0.0001). Moreover, both mSMS and mPouchot score are significantly associated with liver dysfunction and high IL-18 (both P < 0.0001) and IL-6 (both P < 0.01) levels in AOSD patients. Furthermore, the area under curve (AUC) value of mSMS was significantly less than of mPouchot score (0.71 for mSMS, 0.81 for mPouchot score, P < 0.0001). Compared with mPouchot score, mSMS had higher sensitivity (75.64% vs 74.36%) and lower specificity (55.06% vs 76.40%). And mSMS had a worse performance in assessing high disease severity than mPouchot score in logistic analysis. CONCLUSION Both scores are proven as effective to assess disease severity of AOSD. By contrast, mSMS perform worse in assessing high disease severity of AOSD patients than mPouchot score. Key Points • Both modified Systemic Manifestation Score (mSMS) and modified Pouchot score (mPouchot score) positively correlated with ESR, CRP, and serum ferritin of AOSD patients. • Both scores are significantly associated with impaired liver function and high serum cytokine levels. • mSMS had lower discriminative ability than mPouchot score to distinguish high disease severity of AOSD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe traumatic disease in the central nervous system, and can result in neuronal injury. Altered miRNA expression is identified to be involved in the pathogenesis of SCI. DESIGN This study investigated the clinical value of miR-142-5p in SCI patients, and explored its functional role in the regulation of inflammatory. SETTING The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-eight patients with acute spinal trauma. INTERVENTIONS All patients were recruited, and divided into complete SCI group, incomplete SCI group and normal nerve function group. OUTCOME MEASURES Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR-142-5p. CCK-8 and flow cytometry assay were performed to evaluate the cell viability and apoptosis. ELISA assay was applied to estimate the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). RESULTS Serum miR-142-5p level was significantly increased in SCI patients, especially the complete SCI cases. ROC curve analysis suggested miR-142-5p could distinguish SCI patients from normal nerve function patients and was associated with the severity of SCI. A positive association was detected between miR-142-5p and serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α in SCI patients. Downregulation of miR-142-5p significantly reduced the protein levels of both IL-6 and TNF-α in LPS treated PC12 cells, and weakened LPS induced cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION MiR-142-5p is a potential biomarker for the occurrence of SCI in acute spinal trauma patients. Downregulation of miR-142-5p plays an anti-inflammatory effect for SCI patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute lung injury (ALI) is a debilitating condition in clinics. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is known for its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. This study attempted to investigate the protective mechanism of Dex in ALI mice. METHODS Mice were pretreated with Dex before model establishment by tracheal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Pulmonary function indexes and wet-to-dry (W/D) ratio were measured. Pulmonary pathological changes were observed through HE staining, CD31+-positive mouse pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (MPMVECs) were counted through immunofluorescence staining, and apoptosis was detected through TUNEL staining. miR-152-3p mimic, sh-DUSP1, or p38 MAPK inhibitor was delivered into MPMVECs, followed by combined treatment of Dex and LPS. miR-152-3p expression, apoptosis, levels of apoptosis- and MAPK/NF-κB pathway-associated proteins, and inflammatory factors were measured through RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, Western blot, and ELISA. The binding relationship of miR-152-3p and DUSP1 was verified through bioinformatics software and dual-luciferase assay. ALI mouse model was established after injection of miR-152-3p antagomir. RESULTS Dex improved ALI mouse pulmonary function and mitigated injury in mice and MPMVECs. miR-125-3p overexpression or sh-DUSP1 partially abolished the protection of Dex on MPMVECs. miR-152-3p targeted DUSP1. sh-DUSP1 partially averted the protection of Dex on MPMVECs. Dex inhibited the activation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway in MPMVECs mediated by LPS, which was partially reversed by sh-DUSP1. The p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 antagonized the protective effect of Dex on MPMVECs mediated by sh-DUSP1. Similarly, downregulation of miR-152-3p mitigated ALI via the DUSP1/MAPK/NF-κB axis in vivo. CONCLUSION Dex relieved ALI in mice via the DUSP1/MAPK/NF-κB axis by down-regulating miR-152-3p.

Abstract
PURPOSE Due to the complexity of cytokine and microRNA function in progression and/or suppression of an infection, in this study, we examined miR-3473f, miR-2128, miR-6994-5p, miR-7093-3p, miR-5128, miR-574-5p, miR-7235, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13 in patients with VL caused by Leishmania infantum in an in vivo study. METHODS Sampling was carried out from patient with leishmaniasis and with different responses to treatment during March 2016-January 2020. DNA was extracted and purified using QIAamp Kit. The L. infantum were cultured in DMEM medium and protein content was determined by the Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit. Cytokines were evaluated using a MILLIPLEX MAP Mouse Cytokine/Chemokine Panel I kit. The relative expression of miRNAs was measured in duplicate using automatic thermocycler ABI Prism 7500 sequence detection system (Applied Bio-systems) using the TaqMan MicroRNA Assay kit. RESULTS The real-time PCR assay revealed that miR-2128, miR-6994-5p, miR-7093-3p, miR-5128, miR-574-5p and miR-7235 were down-regulated and miR-3473 were up-regulated in patients with semi-resistance and resistance parasite strain (P < 0.05). In the current work, cytokine patterns in patients who were slow-to-clear or unable-to-clear L. infantum infection during drug treatment were seen to have decreased protective Th1 cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-ɤ, P < 0.001) and increased Th2 cytokines (IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13, P < 0.001). No association was seen with IL-4 in patients with different treatment outcomes. CONCLUSION Overall, the results of a recent study have shown that cytokines and microRNAs can play a key role in response to treatment, and more comprehensive studies are needed to support this hypothesis.

Abstract
Sepsis remains an important source of morbidity and mortality in children, despite the development of standardized care. In the last decades, there has been an increased interest in genetic and genomic approaches to early recognition and development of treatments to manipulate the host inflammatory response. This review will present a summary of the normal host response to infection and progression to sepsis, followed by highlighting studies with a focus on gene association studies, epigenetics, and genome-wide expression profiling. The susceptibility (or outcome) of sepsis in children has been associated with several polymorphisms of genes broadly involved in inflammation, immunity, and coagulation. More recently, gene expression profiling has been focused on identifying novel biomarkers, pathways and therapeutic targets, and gene expression-based subclassification. Knowledge of a patient’s individual genotype may, in the not-too-remote future, be used to guide tailored treatment for sepsis. However, at present, the impact of genomics remains far from the bedside of critically ill children.

Abstract
Neonatal sepsis constitutes a highly relevant public health challenge and is the most common cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated that during infection epigenetic changes may occur leading to reprogramming of gene expression. Post-transcriptional regulation by short non-coding RNAs (e.g., microRNAs) have recently acquired special relevance because of their role in the regulation of the pathophysiology of sepsis and their potential clinical use as biomarkers. ~22-nucleotide of microRNAs are not only involved in regulating multiple relevant cellular and molecular functions, such as immune cell function and inflammatory response, but have also been proposed as good candidates as biomarkers in sepsis. Nevertheless, establishing clinical practice guidelines based on microRNA patterns as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in neonatal sepsis has yet to be achieved. Given their differential expression across tissues in neonates, the release of specific microRNAs to blood and their expression pattern can differ compared to sepsis in adult patients. Further in-depth research is necessary to fully understand the biological relevance of microRNAs and assess their potential use in clinical settings. This review provides a general overview of microRNAs, their structure, function and biogenesis before exploring their potential clinical interest as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of neonatal sepsis. An important part of the review is focused on immune and inflammatory aspects of selected microRNAs that may become biomarkers for clinical use and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the levels and functions of miR-101-3p in neonatal sepsis (NS). Materials & methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to investigate the expression of miR-101-3p and the receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to manifest its diagnostic effects. Results: miR-101-3p was increased in the NS patients and the dysregulation of miR-101-3p was associated with levels of procalcitonin, CRP, IL-8 and TNF-α. The combination of miR-101-3p and procalcitonin could function as a promising indicator in distinguishing NS patients. The silenced miR-101-3p reversed the increased levels of TNF-α and IL-8 caused by lipopolysaccharide in vitro. DUSP1 was identified as a direct target gene of miR-101-3p in NS. Conclusion: The abundance of miR-101-3p facilitated the inflammation in NS by targeting DUSP1.

Abstract
Background Immunosuppression has a key function in sepsis pathogenesis, so it is of great significance to find immune-related markers for the treatment of sepsis. Methods Datasets of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with sepsis from the ArrayExpress database were extracted. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the CAP group and normal group by Limma package were performed. After calculation of immune score through the ESTIMATE algorithm, the DEGs were selected between the high immune score group and the low immune score group. Enrichment analysis of the intersected DEGs was conducted. Further, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) of the intersected DEGs was drawn by Metascape tools. Related publications of the key DEGs were searched in NCBI PubMed through Biopython models, and RT-qPCR was used to verify the expression of key genes. Results 360 intersected DEGs (157 upregulated and 203 downregulated) were obtained between the two groups. Meanwhile, the intersected DEGs were enriched in 157 immune-related terms. The PPI of the DEGs was performed, and 8 models were obtained. In sepsis-related research, eight genes were obtained with degree ≥ 10, included in the models. Conclusion CXCR3, CCR7, HLA-DMA, and GPR18 might participate in the mechanism of CAP with sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of miR-29c-3p in sepsis and its role in sepsis-induced inflammatory response and cardiac dysfunction. METHODS Serum level of miR-29c-3p was detected by qRT-PCR. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-29c-3p for Sepsis. The cecal ligation and puncture method (CLP) was used to establish a rat sepsis model. To assess cardiac function, left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and maximum rate of rise/fall of left ventricle pressure (± dp/dtmax) in different experimental groups were detected, and the serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creative kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) were measured by ELISA. Meanwhile, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were detected by ELISA to assess the level of inflammatory response in animals. RESULTS miR-29c-3p level was upregulated in sepsis patients. ROC curve revealed that miR-29c-3p had the ability to distinguish sepsis patients from healthy controls. Cardiac dysfunction and inflammation were observed in sepsis rat, which were characterized by the decrease of LVSP and + dp/dtmax, the increase of LVEDP, - dp/dtmax, cTnI, CK-MB, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6. All effects were reversed by the injection of miR-29c-3p antagomir. Logistics regression analysis manifested miR-29c-3p is an independent factor in the occurrence of cardiac dysfunction in sepsis patients. CONCLUSIONS miR-29c-3p has potential as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis, and inhibition of miR-29c-3p expression in animal models reduced sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction and inflammatory response.

Abstract
Exosomes are released into extracellular fluids and have emerged as vital biological mediators in autoimmune diseases. Plasma-derived exosomes have been reported to take part in the pathogenesis of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but the protein and miRNA cargoes have not been entirely elucidated. Via proteomic analysis and RNA sequencing on plasma-derived exosomes from ITP patients and healthy controls, we found one upregulated exosomal protein (apolipoprotein E, ApoE), six downregulated exosomal miRNAs (miR-584-5p, miR-4433a-5p, miR-4433b-3p, miR-6842-3p, miR-130b-5p and miR-222-3p), and 10 upregulated exosomal miRNAs (miR-29a-3p, miR-142-5p, miR-16-2-3p, miR-29b-3p, miR-501-3p, miR-144-5p, miR-192-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-363-3p and miR-96-5p) in ITP patients. The elevated exosomal protein candidate ApoE in the ITP cohort was further validated using western blot. Via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assays, three differentially expressed miRNAs (miR-584-5p, miR-142-5p and miR-29b-3p) were identified. This study provides direct evidence for a restricted signature of exosomal protein and miRNAs which distinguishes ITP from healthy controls. The results require further validation in larger independent ITP cohorts, which will provide insights into the potential pathophysiological significance of circulating exosomes in ITP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Distinguishing between bloodstream infection (BSI) and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is challenging in practice due to similarities in their clinical and laboratory characteristics. We aimed to identify biomarkers in a prospective cohort of patients with BSI and AOSD for differential diagnosis and prognosis prediction. METHODS Sixty-four individuals were enrolled in the training set (37 with BSI, 17 with AOSD, and 10 healthy controls). Furthermore, 86 individuals were enrolled in the validation cohort (67 with BSI and 19 with AOSD). Clinical and laboratory data were collected. Blood samples were stimulated using bacteria-specific antigens and levels of several cytokines were detected in the supernatant via Luminex or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the pathogens most frequently responsible for BSI. In the training cohort, the incidence of rash, arthralgia, myalgia, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis, and hyperferritinemia was higher in patients with AOSD than in those with BSI. Procalcitonin was significantly higher in patients with BSI than that in those with AOSD. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17A, C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand (CX3CL)-1, and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) levels were higher in patients with BSI than in those with AOSD. IL-18 was higher among patients with AOSD than in those with BSI. A decision tree analysis showed that a combination of plasma IL-18 and ferritin levels can be used to distinguish BSI from AOSD (diagnostic accuracy: 97.67%, sensitivity: 96.15%, specificity: 100%). Plasma IL-18 levels were positively correlated with ferritin, and were decreased after treatment in both BSI and ASOD groups. CONCLUSIONS Plasma IL-18 and ferritin levels can be used to differentiate BSI from AOSD. IL-18 may be a potential biomarker for prognosis prediction in BSI and AOSD.

Abstract
The accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress and induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) and other mechanisms to restore ER homeostasis, including translational shutdown, increased targeting of mRNAs for degradation by the IRE1-dependent decay pathway, selective translation of proteins that contribute to the protein folding capacity of the ER, and activation of the ER-associated degradation machinery. When ER stress is excessive or prolonged and these mechanisms fail to restore proteostasis, the UPR triggers the cell to undergo apoptosis. This review also examines the overlooked role of post-translational modifications and their roles in protein processing and effects on ER stress and the UPR. Finally, these effects are examined in the context of lung structure, function, and disease.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a systemic, multifactorial, autoinflammatory disease for which the etiopathogenesis is not well understood. Given the similarities in clinical and laboratory features between this disease and sepsis, and the differences in treatment strategies for these two diseases, specific diagnostic markers are crucial for the correct diagnosis and management of AOSD. Previous studies have shown plasma heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a promising potential biomarker for AOSD; thus, this study aimed to detect serum HBP levels in patients with AOSD or sepsis to assess its potential as a biomarker for differential diagnosis. We found that serum HBP levels were significantly higher in patients with active AOSD than that in those with inactive AOSD. Patients with sepsis had higher serum HBP levels compared with those who had active or inactive AOSD. We calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to assess whether HBP could be used to differentiate active from inactive AOSD; this was 0.811 with sensitivity 0.650, specificity 0.811, and cutoff HBP value of 35.59 ng/ml. The area under the ROC curve for HBP as a biomarker to differentiate AOSD from sepsis was 0.653, with sensitivity 0.759, and specificity 0.552, and cutoff HBP value of 65.1 ng/ml. Taken together, the results of our study suggest that serum HBP could be a useful diagnostic biomarker to evaluate disease activity in patients with AOSD, and to differentiate AOSD from sepsis.

Abstract
Small, noncoding sequences of ribonucleic acid called microRNAs (miRNAs, miR) are functioning as posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. As they draw increasing attention of rheumatologists, there is a growing body of evidence concerning specific molecules that may affect the long-term care of patients with inflammatory arthritides. Findings involving children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are still limited though. The aim of the study was to browse the available data on microRNAs which may be utilized as potential biomarkers helpful in diagnosing and monitoring JIA patients. The review contains a brief summary on the most studied sequences: miR-16, miR-125a-5p, miR-146a, miR-155, and miR-223. It is complemented with other miRNAs possibly relevant for JIA (miR-145, miR-23b, miR-27a, and miR-204) and discussion on challenges for using miRNAs in pediatric rheumatology (particularly, issues regarding specificity of biomarkers and measurements involving synovial fluid).

Abstract
Numerous studies have found that microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are aberrantly expressed when sepsis occurs. The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-101-3p in sepsis-induced myocardial injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Models of myocardial injury were established both in vivo and in vitro. The results revealed that miR-101-3p was upregulated in the serum of patients with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) and positively correlated with the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α). Subsequently, rats were treated with miR-101-3p inhibitor to suppress miR-101-3p and were then exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The results revealed that LPS induced marked cardiac dysfunction, apoptosis and inflammation. The inhibition of miR-101-3p markedly attenuated sepsis-induced myocardial injury by attenuating apoptosis and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) was found to be a functional target of miR-101-3p. The downregulation of miR-101-3p led to the overexpression of DUSP1, and the inactivation of the MAPK p38 and NF-κB pathways. Moreover, blocking DUSP1 by short hairpin RNA against DUSP1 (sh-DUSP1) significantly reduced the myocardial protective effects mediated by the inhibition of miR-101-3p. Collectively, the findings of the present study demonstrate that the inhibition of miR-101-3p exerts cardioprotective effects by suppressing MAPK p38 and NF-κB pathway activation, and thus attenuating inflammation and apoptosis dependently by enhancing DUSP1 expression.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become the number one health problem worldwide. As of August 2020, it has affected more than 18 million humans and caused over 700,000 deaths worldwide. COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Under certain circumstances, the viral infection leads to excessive and uncontrolled inflammatory response, which is associated with the massive release of inflammatory cytokines in pulmonary alveolar structures. This phenomenon has been referred to as the “cytokine storm,” and it is closely linked to lung injury, acute respiratory syndrome and mortality. Unfortunately, there is currently no vaccine available to prevent the infection, and no effective treatment is available to reduce the mortality associated with the severe form of the disease. The cytokine storm associate with COVID-19 shows similarities with those observed in other pathologies such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury and other viral infection including severe cases of influenza. However, the specific mechanisms that cause and modulate the cytokine storm in the different conditions remain to be determined. micro-RNAs are important regulators of gene expression, including key inflammatory cytokines involved in the massive recruitment of immune cells to the lungs such as IL1β, IL6, and TNFα. In recent years, it has been shown that nutraceutical agents can modulate the expression of miRs involved in the regulation of cytokines in various inflammatory diseases. Here we review the potential role of inflammatory-regulating-miRs in the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19, and propose that nutraceutical agents may represent a supportive therapeutic approach to modulate dysregulated miRs in this condition, providing benefits in severe respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Objective: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an autoinflammatory disease with a higher prevalence rate in young females. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether AOSD has an adverse impact on pregnancy outcomes, or conversely exacerbated by pregnancy. Methods: The outcomes of 191 pregnancies were evaluated in 86 female patients with AOSD. The generalized linear mixed model and propensity score matching method were conducted to evaluate the influence of AOSD on pregnancy outcomes. A dependent sample sign test was applied to assess the impact of pregnancy on the relapse of AOSD. Results: The results showed that the post-AOSD group had a lower proportion of normal delivery (25.0 vs. 52.4%, p = 0.036) and a higher proportion of spontaneous abortion (STA) (18.8 vs. 0.6%, p = 0.002) compared with the pre-AOSD group. Moreover, pregnancy after being diagnosed with AOSD was a significant high risk factor of STA (adjusted OR = 4.577, 95% CI: 4.166–845.119; p = 0.003). Disease flare upon conception was observed in one of 16 post-AOSD pregnancies (p = 1.000). There were 11 patients with new-onset AOSD during gestation or postpartum, among which five (45.4%) evolved into the polycyclic course. Conclusions: AOSD patients might suffer from a higher risk of STA, however, pregnancy might not be related with the exacerbation of diagnosed AOSD. New-onset AOSD during gestation or postpartum tend to evolve into the polycyclic course.

Gray matter volume and microRNA levels in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2020; 270:1037-1045. [PMID: 31240443 DOI: 10.1007/s00406-019-01032-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder often characterized by gray matter (GM) volume reductions. MicroRNAs, which participate in regulating gene expression, potentially influence neurodevelopment. This study aimed to explore whether differential GM volume is associated with differential miRNA levels in ADHD patients. We recruited a total of 30 drug-naïve patients with ADHD (mean age 10.6 years) and 25 healthy controls (mean age 10.6 years) that underwent a single session of 3.0-T whole brain structural MRI scanning. RNA samples from the participants' white blood cells were collected to identify the ΔCt values of three miRNAs (miR-30e-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-140-3p) using the real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In comparison to the control group, ADHD patients demonstrated a significantly lower GM volume in the cingulate gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, right middle occipital gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, and significantly higher ΔCt values of miR-30e-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-140-3p. In the ADHD group, the GM volume of cingulate gyrus and left fusiform gyrus was negatively correlated with the ΔCt values of miR-30e-5p, miR-140-3p. The GM volume of left fusiform gyrus was negatively correlated to ADHD behavioral symptoms. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we observed that the effect of miR-140-3p on hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms was mediated by left fusiform gyrus. Our findings support that GM volume reduction and miRNA increases may be biomarkers for ADHD in children and adolescents. Expression levels of miRNAs may affect the development of brain structures and further participate in the pathophysiology of ADHD.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is an autoinflammatory disease with multisystem involvement. Early identification of patients with severe complications and those refractory to glucocorticoid is crucial to improve therapeutic strategy in AOSD. Exaggerated neutrophil activation and enhanced formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in patients with AOSD were found to be closely associated with etiopathogenesis. In this study, we aim to investigate, to our knowledge for the first time, the clinical value of circulating NETs by machine learning to distinguish AOSD patients with organ involvement and refractory to glucocorticoid. Plasma samples were used to measure cell-free DNA, NE-DNA, MPO-DNA, and citH3-DNA complexes from training and validation sets. The training set included 40 AOSD patients and 24 healthy controls (HCs), and the validation set included 26 AOSD patients and 16 HCs. Support vector machines (SVM) were used for modeling and validation of circulating NETs signature for the diagnosis of AOSD and identifying patients refractory to low-dose glucocorticoid treatment. The training set was used to build a model, and the validation set was used to test the predictive capacity of the model. A total of four circulating NETs showed similar trends in different individuals and could distinguish patients with AOSD from HCs by SVM (AUC value: 0.88). Circulating NETs in plasma were closely correlated with systemic score, laboratory tests, and cytokines. Moreover, circulating NETs had the potential to distinguish patients with liver and cardiopulmonary system involvement. Furthermore, the AUC value of combined NETs to identify patients who were refractory to low-dose glucocorticoid was 0.917. In conclusion, circulating NETs signature provide added clinical value in monitoring AOSD patients. It may provide evidence to predict who is prone to be refractory to low-dose glucocorticoid and help to make efficient therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a systemic, multigenic autoinflammatory disease, and the diagnosis of AOSD must rule out neoplasms, infections, and other autoimmune diseases. Development of a rapid and efficient but non-invasive diagnosis method is urgently needed for improving AOSD therapy. In this study, we first performed a urinary proteomic study using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) labeling combined with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry analysis in patients with AOSD and healthy control (HC) subjects. The urinary proteins were enriched in pathways of the innate immune system and neutrophil degranulation, and we identified that the α-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (LRG1), orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), and ORM2 proteins were highly expressed in patients with AOSD. The elevated urine levels of LRG1, ORM1, and ORM2 were further validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in active patients with AOSD, disease controls, and HC subjects. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the areas under the curve of LRG1, ORM1, and ORM2 were 0.700, 0.837, and 0.736, respectively (all p < 0.05). Furthermore, we found that the urine levels of LRG1, ORM1, and ORM2 were positively correlated with the systemic score and erythrocyte sedimentation rate and that the urine levels of LRG1 were positively correlated with interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and IL-18 levels, whereas the urine levels of ORM1 were positively correlated with the IL-1β level. Together, our study identified novel urinary markers for non-invasive and simple screening of AOSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is an extremely common health issue with a considerable mortality rate in children. Our understanding about the pathogenic mechanisms of sepsis is limited. The aim of this study was to identify the differential expression genes (DEGs) in pediatric sepsis through comprehensive analysis, and to provide specific insights for the clinical sepsis therapies in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three pediatric gene expression profiles (GSE25504, GSE26378, GSE26440) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The difference expression genes (DEGs) between pediatric sepsis and normal control group were screened with the GEO2R online tool. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were performed. Cytoscape with CytoHubba were used to identify the hub genes. Finally, NetworkAnalyst was used to construct the targeted microRNAs (miRNAs) of the hub genes. RESULTS Totally, 160 overlapping upward genes and 61 downward genes were identified. In addition, 5 KEGG pathways, including hematopoietic cell lineage, Staphylococcus aureus infection, starch and sucrose metabolism, osteoclast differentiation, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, were significantly enriched using a database for labeling, visualization, and synthetic discovery. In combination with the results of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and CytoHubba, 9 hub genes including ITGAM, TLR8, IL1ß, MMP9, MPO, FPR2, ELANE, SPI1, and C3AR1 were selected. Combined with DEG-miRNAs visualization, 5 miRNAs, including has-miR-204-5p, has-miR-211-5p, has-miR-590-5p, and has-miR-21-5p, were predicted as possibly the key miRNAs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings will contribute to identification of potential biomarkers and novel strategies for pediatric sepsis treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an autoinflammatory disorder leading to multiorgan involvements. We sought to investigate mood status and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in these patients. METHODS In this study, 82 AOSD patients and 82 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included. Demographic and clinical data of recruited patients were collected. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 (SF-36) were used to evaluate the mood status and quality of life, respectively. Spearman correlation and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to assess the disease-related risk factors associated with anxiety and depression. RESULTS Forty-four active and thirty-eight relieved patients were enrolled. We found that scores of both HADS anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) subscales in active AOSD were significantly higher than inactive patients, which were significantly higher than controls. Moreover, the HADS-A was positively correlated to the patient's global assessment (PGA), pain, and dosage of prednisone, and the HADS-D was positively correlated to systemic score, PGA, and pain. Female, high dosage of corticosteroids, and PGA more than 50 had a significant association with HADS-A score, while the sore throat and PGA more than 50 had a significant association with HADS-D score. Furthermore, AOSD patients' anxiety and depression had a negative impact on HRQoL. CONCLUSION Active AOSD patients tended to be anxious and depressed, suffering from poorer HRQoL compared to patients in remission. Therefore, the evaluation of mental health and HRQoL should be included in AOSD patients' long-term management. Key Points • Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder leading to multiorgan involvement. This study was so far the first published research focuses on AOSD patients' mental involvement and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). • Active AOSD patients were more tended to be anxious and depressive and suffered from poorer HRQoL compared to inactive patients. • Patients' anxiety and depression were associated with impaired HRQoL.

Abstract
The current study was aimed at exploring the potential roles and possible mechanisms of miR-10a-5p in osteoarthritis (OA). We performed RT-qPCR, Western blot, CCK8, EdU Assay, and flow cytometry assay to clarify the roles of miR-10a-5p in OA. Furthermore, the whole transcriptome sequencing together with integrated bioinformatics analyses were conducted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of miR-10a-5p involving in OA. Our results demonstrated that miR-10a-5p was upregulated in OA and acted as a significant contributing factor for OA. A large number of circRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs were identified by overexpressing miR-10a-5p. Functional enrichment analyses indicated that these differentially-expressed genes were enriched in some important terms including PPAR signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and p53 signaling pathway. A total of 42 hub genes were identified in the protein-protein interaction network including SERPINA1, TTR, APOA1, and A2M. Also, we constructed the network regulatory interactions across coding and noncoding RNAs triggered by miR-10a-5p, which revealed the powerful regulating effects of miR-10a-5p. Moreover, we found that HOXA3 acted as the targeted genes of miR-10a-5p and miR-10a-5p contributed to the progression of OA by suppressing HOXA3 expression. Our findings shed insight on regulatory mechanisms of miR-10a-5p, which might provide novel therapeutic targets for OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare but clinically well-known polygenic systemic autoinflammatory disease. In this review, we aim to present frontiers in the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, biomarkers, disease course, prognosis, and treatment in AOSD. DATA SOURCES We retrieved information from the PubMed database up to July 2019, using various search terms and relevant words, including AOSD and Still's disease. STUDY SELECTION We included data from peer-reviewed journals. Both basic and clinical studies were selected. RESULTS Pathogenesis of AOSD involves genetic background, infectious triggers, and immunopathogenesis, mainly the activation of macrophages and neutrophils followed by a cytokine storm. Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of AOSD is still challenging; therefore, there is an urgent need to identify better biomarkers. Biologic agents, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists in the treatment of AOSD, have good prospect. CONCLUSION This review highlights the advances in pathogenesis, potential biomarkers, disease course, and treatment in AOSD.

Cysteine-Rich Angiogenic Inducer 61 Serves as a Potential Serum Biomarker for the Remission of Adult-Onset Still's Disease. Front Med (Lausanne) 2019; 6:266. [PMID: 31824953 PMCID: PMC6879423 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2019.00266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare, polygenic, systemic autoinflammatory disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the serum levels of cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61), a secreted, extracellular protein in AOSD patients. Methods: A total of 60 AOSD patients (39 of active phase and 21 of inactive phase), 16 rheumatoid arthritis patients as a disease control, and 34 sex- and age-matched healthy control subjects (HC) were enrolled in the study. The data of the clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations were collected. The serum levels of Cyr61, interleukin (IL)-17, and IL-37 were detected by ELISA assay, and the serum levels of IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were examined by electrochemiluminescence assay. Results: The serum levels of Cyr61 were significantly increased in inactive AOSD than those in active patients and HCs, and the levels of Cyr61 were dramatically increased after treatment. The levels of Cyr61 were inversely correlated with systemic score, the counts of leukocyte and neutrophil, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17). Moreover, the levels of Cyr61 were higher in patients without the clinical symptoms of fever, skin rash, sore throat, arthralgia, and lymphadenopathy compared with those in patients with these symptoms. Conclusion: The serum levels of Cyr61 were inversely correlated with disease activity in AOSD patients; thus, we proposed that Cyr61 was a biomarker for the remission of AOSD.
