MicroRNA-574-5p Attenuates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Targeting HMGB1.

ABSTRACT: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical condition with high mortality. HMGB1 (high-mobility group protein B1) is one of the key proinflammatory factors in the ARDS "inflammatory storm." According to previous studies, some microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in this process. We aimed to determine the contributing miRNAs targeting the expression and release of HMGB1. miRNA expression in the peripheral blood of patients with ARDS was measured by miRNA microarray. miRNAs targeting HMGB1 were screened and explored for further study. In LPS-induced cell and mouse ARDS models, we explored the effect of this miRNA on the expression and secretion of HMGB1 by Western blot, real-time qPCR, and ELISA. The effects of this miRNA on the NF-κB signaling pathway, proinflammatory cytoki
