Abstract Persistent macrophage activation and cytokine storms are critical causes for the rapid disease progression and high mortality rate of Secondary Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH). Identification of key regulatory factors that govern the activation of macrophages is vital. Plasma exosomal circular RNAs (circRNAs) are considered important biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for various diseases, however, their function in sHLH is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that circMETTL3, derived from METTL3, is upregulated in sHLH patient plasma exosomes, which may plays an important role in the diagnosis of sHLH. Significantly, we also revealed that a novel peptide encoded by circMETTL3, METTL3-156aa, is an inducer of M1 macrophage polarization, which is responsible for the development of cytokine storms during sHLH. We then identified that METTL3-156aa binding with lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and promotes M1 macrophage polarization by enhancing macrophage glycolysis. Additionally, the glycolysis metabolite lactate upregulates the cleavage factor SRSF10 expression by lactylation. This results in increased splicing of the pre-METTL3 mRNA, leading to an enchance in the production of cirMETTL3. Therefore, our results suggest that the circMETTL3/METTL3-156aa/LDHA/Lactate/SRSF10 axis forms a positive feedback loop and may be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of sHLH. |
