摘要
Acute liver injury (ALI) is associated with multiple cellular events such as necrosis, apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation, which can lead to liver failure. In this study, we demonstrate a new role of microRNA (miR)-208a in ALI. ALI was induced in wild-type (WT) and miR-208a knockout (KO) mice by CCl(4)administration. Increased alanine aminotransferase and decreased hepatic miR-208a levels were found in WT mice after acute CCl(4)treatment. Histopathological evaluations revealed increased necrosis and decreased inflammation in miR-208a KO compared with WT mice after CCl(4)treatment. CCl(4)treatment induced a higher alanine aminotransferase elevation and increased numbers of circulating extracellular vesicles (exosomes and microvesicles) in miR-208a KO compared with WT mice. We found increased CCl4-induced nuclear factor kappa B activation and tumor necrosis factor-alpha induction and decreased monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 levels in miR-208a KO compared with WT mice. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling assay indicated aggravated hepatic apoptosis and necrosis in CCl4-treated miR-208a KO compared with WT mice. CCl(4)treatment induced a greater increase in cleaved caspase-8, p18, and caspase-3 in miR-208a KO compared with WT mice. p53 is involved in various cell death pathways, including necrosis and apoptosis. Ourin silicoanalysis revealed p53 as a predicted miR-208a target, and we found enhanced p53 and cyclophilin D protein expressions in miR-208a KO mice after CCl(4)treatment. Increased liver injury in miR-208a KO mice was further associated with increased Bax (B cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein) and p21 expression. Ourin vitroresults indicated a role of miR-208a in cell death. We found that CCl4-induced cytotoxicity was partially rescued by miR-208a overexpression in RAW macrophages. Altogether, our results revealed a role of miR-208a in ALI in mice and suggest a role for miR-208a in regulating cell death.
