MiR-144-induced KLF2 inhibition and NF-kappaB/CXCR1 activation promote neutrophil extracellular trap-induced transfusion-related acute lung injury.

ABSTRACT: Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a clinical syndrome which is associated with the formation of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET). Recent studies have demonstrated the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiological process of TRALI. Here, the study focused on the role of miR-144 and the molecular mechanisms in NET-induced TRALI. Up-regulated miR-144 and under-expressed KLF2 were determined in patients with TRALI. In the mouse model of a two-event TRALI induced by intraperitoneal injections with lipopolysaccharide and anti-H-2Kd mAb, we determined expression patterns of miR-144, Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 1 (CXCR1) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) p65. The results confirmed that miR-144 was highly expressed, while KLF2 was po
