Acute lung Injury (ALI) is the clinical syndrome of parenchymal lung disease, leading to an extremely high mortality. The pathogenesis of ALI is suggested to be a consequence of uncontrolled inflammation. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI mice model is often used for the mechanism. Studies show that TGF-beta activated kinase 1 (MAP3K7) binding protein 1/2 (TAB2) plays a crucial role in LPS-induced inflammation response. Furthermore, microRNA-142a-3p (miR-142a-3p) has been observed to be involved in inflammation- induced disease. Thus, we investigated the role of miR-142a-3p and TAB2 on LPS-induced ALI, which involved the TLR4/TAB2/NF-kappa B signaling. ALI and normal lung tissues were collected to access the relative expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and miR-142a-3p. Histopathological examination and Wet to Dry weight ratios of lung tissues were used to access the establishment of ALI models. Raw264.7 cells were transfected with si-TAB2 or miR-142a-3p mimics to elucidate the role of TAB2 or miR-142a-3p in the inflammatory cascade in ALI. Additionally, the relationship between miR-142a-3p and TAB2 was validated by dual-luciferase report system. Our study discovered that miR-142-3p was up-regulated both in LPS-induced ALI mice model and RAW264.7 cells model. MiR-142a-3p mimics group experienced significant decrease in the secretion of pro- inflammatory cytokines as a result of the inhibition of NFk B signaling pathway. Bioinformatics database showed that the adaptor protein, TAB2, was critical in this pathway and it is the target gene of miR-142a-3p. Their relation was first confirmed by us via dual-luciferase report system. Results of our study demonstrated that miR-142a-3p exerts as a protective role in LPS-induced ALI through down-regulation of NF-kappa B signaling pathway.
