LncRNA NR_003508 Suppresses Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Induced Programmed Necrosis via Sponging miR-346-3p to Regulate RIPK1.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are involved in Mtb-induced programmed necrosis. Among these LncRNAs, LncRNA NR_003508 is associated with LPS-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, whether LncRNA NR_003508 contributes to Mtb-induced programmed necrosis remains undocumented. Firstly, the expression of LncRNA NR_003508 was determined using RT-qPCR and FISH. The protein expression of RIPK1, p-RIPK1, RIPK3, p-RIPK3, MLKL, and p-MLKL was measured by Western blot in RAW264.7 and mouse lung tissues. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays and bioinformatics were used to predict specific miRNA (miR-346-3p) and mRNA (RIPK1) regulated by LncRNA NR_003508. In addition, RT-qPCR was used to detect the RIPK1 expression in TB patients and healthy peripheral b
