Summary

The acute respiratory distress syndrome, formerly known as the acute lung injury (ARDS/ALI), is a critical illness with high mortality due to the lack of effective treatment. The pathogenesis of ARDS/ALI has not been fully elucidated. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays a key role in regulating lung inflammation and oxidative stress which are closely related to lung injury in ARDS/ALI, but its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. The investigator's provious study shown that microRNA-27b (miR-27b) downregulated Nrf2 to aggravate lung inflammation and histological injury. Furthermore, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell (J774A.1) inflammation model, miR-27b was upregulated while the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NEAT1 was downregulated, the putative binding sites of lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-27b were successfully predicted by bioinformatics approach. Thus, the investigators propose that NEAT1 plays as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to adsorb miR-27b and liberate Nrf2, therefore, to attenuate lung inflammation and related lung injury in ARDS/ALI. This project aims to explore the role of the lncRNA NEAT1/ mir-27b /Nrf2 signal axis in the development and treatment of ARDS/ALI in patients, as well as in LPS-induced ALI animal and cell models by using bioinformatics, molecular biology, histomorphology and clinical phenotype approaches, and to clarify the new mechanism in ARDS/ALI development and to provide new therapeutic targets.
