IntroductionCircular RNAs (circRNAs) have been linked to regulate macrophage polarization and subsequent inflammation in sepsis. However, the underlying mechanism and the function of circRNAs in macrophage pyroptosis in pneumonia-induced sepsis are still unknown.MethodsIn this study, we screened the differentially expressed circRNAs among the healthy individuals, pneumonia patients without sepsis and pneumonia-induced sepsis patients in the plasma by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Then we evaluated macrophage pyroptosis in sepsis patients and in vitro LPS/nigericin activated THP-1 cells. The lentiviral recombinant vector for circ_0075723 overexpression (OE-circ_0075723) and circ_0075723 silence (sh-circ_0075723) were constructed and transfected into THP-1 cells to explore the potential mechanism of circ_0075723 involved in LPS/nigericin induced macrophage pyroptosis.ResultsWe found circ_0075723, a novel circRNA that was significantly downregulated in pneumonia-induced sepsis patients compared to pneumonia patients without sepsis and healthy individuals. Meanwhile, pneumonia-induced sepsis patients exhibited activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and production of the pyroptosis-associated pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. circ_0075723 inhibited macrophage pyroptosis via sponging miR-155-5p which promoted SHIP1 expression directly. Besides, we found that circ_0075723 in macrophages promoted VE-cadherin expression in endothelial cells through inhibiting the release of NLRP3 inflammasome-related cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18, and protects endothelial cell integrity.DiscussionOur findings propose a unique approach wherein circ_0075723 suppresses macrophage pyroptosis and inflammation in pneumonia-induced sepsis via sponging with miR-155-5p and promoting SHIP1 expression. These findings indicate that circRNAs could be used as possible potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for pneumonia-induced sepsis. |
