Abstract
A category of very uncommon systemic inflammatory blood vessel illnesses known as vasculitides. The pathogenesis and etiology of vasculitis are still poorly known. Despite all of the progress made in understanding the genetics and causes behind vasculitis, there is still more to learn. Epigenetic dysregulation is a significant contributor to immune-mediated illnesses, and epigenetic aberrancies in vasculitis are becoming more widely acknowledged. Less than 2 % of the genome contains protein-encoding DNA. Studies have shown that a variety of RNAs originating from the non-coding genome exist. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted the most attention in recent years as they are becoming more and more important regulators of different biological processes, such as diseases of the veins. Extracellular vehicles (EVs) such as exosomes, are membrane-bound vesicular structures that break free either during programmed cell death, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis or during cell activation. Exosomes may be involved in harmful ways in inflammation, procoagulation, autoimmune reactions, endothelial dysfunction/damage, intimal hyperplasia and angiogenesis, all of which may be significant in vasculitis. Herein, we summarized various non-coding RNAs that are involved in vasculitides pathogenesis. Moreover, we highlighted the role of exosomes in vasculitides.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e35736. [PMID: 37960719 PMCID: PMC10637536 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000035736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, many studies have focused on the relationship between noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and Kawasaki disease (KD). Studies have indicated that ncRNAs are associated with the occurrence and development of KD. Thus, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the diagnostic value of ncRNAs in KD patients. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc databases, and Wanfang databases until August 25, 2023 and screened all eligible studies focusing on the diagnostic performance of ncRNAs in KD patients. RESULTS In total, 535 articles were found, and 28 articles were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The calculated area under the curve value was 0.880 (95% confidence intervals, 0.840-0.900). The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 0.790, 0.830, 4.610, and 0.260, respectively. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 17.890 (95% confidence intervals, 13.110-24.420), indicating a relatively good diagnostic performance of the ncRNAs for detecting KD. In addition, the diagnostic value of micro RNAs in KD was better than that of long noncoding RNAs and circular noncoding RNAs. A subgroup analysis by specimen indicated a better diagnostic value of ncRNAs in plasma and platelet than serum. The diagnostic accuracy of ncRNAs was better in febrile controls than in healthy control groups, indicating a relatively good accuracy in distinguishing KD patients from febrile diseases. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that ncRNAs could be used as novel biomarkers for detecting KD. More studies should be conducted in the future to verify the diagnostic values of ncRNAs in KD.

[PMID: 37462336 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic rheumatic disease, and some microRNAs (miRNAs) in AS have been identified. This study aimed to measure miR-222-3p expression in AS patients, investigate the association of miR-222-3p with AS disease activity, and explore the clinical value of miR-222-3p in diagnosing AS and predicting therapeutic efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on AS patients. This study included 96 patients with AS, 58 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 90 healthy controls. miR-222-3p expression was detected by reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The ability of miR-222-3p to discriminate between different groups was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The predictive value of miR-222-3p on the efficacy of NSAID treatment for AS was assessed by logistic regression analysis. AS patients treated with oral NSAIDs diclofenac sodium were divided into response (n = 76) and no-response (n = 20) groups after 16 weeks of treatment. miR-222-3p in AS patients was higher than that in healthy subjects and RA patients. miR-222-3p had high diagnostic value in distinguishing patients with AS from RA patients and healthy controls. miR-222-3p, increased in active AS patients, had the ability to screen active AS patients from inactive AS patients. miR-222-3p was decreased in the response group, and had high accuracy in predicting the therapeutic efficiency of NSAIDs. The findings indicate that increased miR-222-3p in AS patients may function as a diagnostic biomarker for AS, and predictive biomarker for the therapeutic efficacy of NSAIDs in patients with AS. In addition, miR-222-3p is associated with AS disease activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting mainly children. Studies have shown that the pathogenesis of KD may be related to autophagy. Using bioinformatics analysis, we assessed the significance of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in KD. METHODS Common ARGs were identified from the GeneCards Database, the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB), and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. ARGs were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Furthermore, related microRNAs (miRNAs), transcription factors (TFs), and drug interaction network were predicted. The immune cell infiltration of ARGs in tissues was explored. Finally, we used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to validate the diagnostic value and expression levels of ARGs in KD. RESULTS There were 20 ARGs in total. GO analysis showed that ARGs were mainly rich in autophagy, macro-autophagy, and GTPase activity. KEGG analysis showed that ARGs were mainly rich in autophagy-animal and the collecting duct acid secretion pathway. The expression of WIPI1, WDFY3, ATP6V0E2, RALB, ATP6V1C1, GBA, C9orf72, LRRK2, GNAI3, and PIK3CB is the focus of PPI network. A total of 72 related miRNAs and 130 related TFs were predicted by miRNA and TF targeting network analyses. Ten pairs of gene-drug interaction networks were also predicted; immune infiltration analysis showed that SH3GLB1, ATP6V0E2, PLEKHF1, RALB, KLHL3, and TSPO were closely related to CD8 + T cells and neutrophils. The ROC curve showed that ARGs had good diagnostic value in KD. qRT-PCR showed that WIPI1 and GBA were significantly upregulated. CONCLUSION Twenty potential ARGs were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and WIPI1 and GBA may be used as potential drug targets and biomarkers.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute autoimmune vascular disease featured with a long stage of febrile. It predominantly afflicts children under 5 years old and causes an increased risk of cardiovascular combinations. The onset and progression of KD are impacted by many aspects, including genetic susceptibility, infection, and immunity. In recent years, many studies revealed that miRNAs, a novel class of small non-coding RNAs, may play an indispensable role in the development of KD via differential expression and participation in the central pathogenesis of KD comprise of the modulation of immunity, inflammatory response and vascular dysregulation. Although specific diagnose criteria remains unclear up to date, accumulating clinical evidence indicated that miRNAs, as small molecules, could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers and exhibit extraordinary specificity and sensitivity. Besides, miRNAs have gained attention in affecting therapies for Kawasaki disease and providing new insights into personalized treatment. Through consanguineous coordination with classical therapies, miRNAs could overcome the inevitable drug-resistance and poor prognosis problem in a novel point of view. In this review, we systematically reviewed the existing literature and summarized those findings to analyze the latest mechanism to explore the role of miRNAs in the treatment of KD from basic and clinical aspects retrospectively. Our discussion helps to better understand the pathogenesis of KD and may offer profound inspiration on KD diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of age-related cataract (ARC). CircRNA zinc finger protein 292 (circZNF292, hsa_circ_0004058) is downregulated in ARC lens capsules. Here, we focused on its precise roles in oxidative stress underlying the pathogenesis of ARC. CircZNF292, microRNA (miR)-222-3p, and E2F transcription factor 3 (E2F3) were quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot. Cell viability was assessed by the cell counting kit-8 assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and malondialdehyde were measured using the corresponding assay kit. Targeted correlations among circZNF292, miR-222-3p, and E2F3 were verified by the dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assays. Our data showed that circZNF292 was downregulated in ARC tissues and H2 O2 -treated human lens epithelial B3 (HLE-B3) cells. Increased expression of circZNF292 alleviated H2 O2 -induced cell viability suppression, apoptosis promotion, and oxidative stress enhancement. Mechanistically, circZNF292 directly targeted miR-222-3p, and circZNF292 regulated E2F3 expression through miR-222-3p. MiR-222-3p was a functional mediator of circZNF292 in modulating H2 O2 -induced injury in HLE-B3 cells. Furthermore, reduced level of miR-222-3p ameliorated H2 O2 -induced HLE-B3 cell damage by upregulating E2F3. Our present study demonstrated that increased expression of circZNF292 ameliorated H2 O2 -induced injury in HLE-B3 cells at least in part through the miR-222-3p/E2F3 axis, highlighting a novel insight into the involvement of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of ARC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical data show that aneurysm rupture causes high mortality in aged men. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were reported to regulate endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) which play a vital role in repairing endothelial damage and maintaining vascular integrity. This study identified a novel miRNA regulator for the functions of EPCs in aneurysm repair. METHODS Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) model was established on Sprague-Dawley rats which later underwent antagomiR-222 treatment. The histopathological changes of AAA rats were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify EPCs in peripheral blood and identify EPCs isolated from the rat femur. The potential target of miR-222-3p was predicted by TargetScan v7.2 and validated by Dual-luciferase reporter assay. The effects of miR-222-3p and ADIPOR1 on the migration, invasion and tube formation of EPCs were evaluated by wound healing, Transwell and tube formation assays. The expressions of miR-222-3p and ADIPOR1 in aortic aneurysm tissues and EPCs were assessed by qRT-PCR or Western blot. RESULTS AAA exhibited histopathological abnormality, a decreased number of EPCs in the peripheral blood and an increased miR-222-3p expression. AntagomiR-222 injection reversed all these phenomena in AAA rats. Upregulating miR-222-3p expression inhibited the migration, invasion, and tube formation of EPCs, and the expressions of ADIPOR1 and phosphorylated-AMKP, while downregulating miR-222-3p expression exerted opposite effects in EPCs. ADIPOR1 was identified as a target gene of miR-222-3p. Overexpressing ADIPOR1 abrogated the effects of miR-222-3p upregulation on EPCs. CONCLUSION Downregulated miR-222-3p prompted the migration, invasion and recruitment of EPCs by targeting ADIPOR1-induced AMKP activation.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common febrile multisystemic inflammatory illness in children that preferentially affects coronary arteries. Children with KD who develop coronary artery aneurysms have a life-long risk of premature coronary artery disease. Hypothesis of inherent predisposition to KD is supported by epidemiological evidence that suggests increased risk of development of disease in certain ethnicities and in children with a previous history of KD in siblings or parents. However, occurrence of cases in clusters, seasonal variation, and very low risk of recurrence suggests an acquired trigger (such as infections) for the development of illness. Epigenetic mechanisms that modulate gene expression can plausibly explain the link between genetic and acquired predisposing factors in KD. Analysis of epigenetic factors can also be used to derive biomarkers for diagnosis and prognostication in KD. Moreover, epigenetic mechanisms can also help in pharmacogenomics with the development of targeted therapies. In this review, we analysed the available literature on epigenetic factors such as methylation, micro-RNAs, and long non-coding RNAs in KD and discuss how these mechanisms can help us better understand the disease pathogenesis and advance the development of new biomarkers in KD.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the primary cause of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis, which in turn, notably increase the risk of developing HCC. The systematic immune response plays a vital role in protecting eukaryotic cells from exogenous antigens. In the present study, to determine the association between T cells and miRNAs in HCV-induced HCC (HCV-HCC), bulk mRNA and miRNA sequencing data from HCV-HCC tissues were combined, along with single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from T cells. Deconvoluted bulk RNA-seq data and miRNA profiles enabled the identification of naive CD4+ T cell-associated miRNAs, which may help to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the anti-HCV immune response. Using bulk RNA-seq data, the current analysis presents a feasible method for assessing the relationship between miRNAs and cell components, providing valuable insights into the effects of T cell-associated miRNAs in HCV-HCC.
