ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the expression of miR-216a in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) associated with acute lung injury (ALI) and its influence on endothelial cells permeability.

Methods:

40 AP patients admitted in Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Navy Medical University from December 2015 to March 2016 were collected and were classified into AP with ALI (AP-ALI group, n=13) and AP without ALI (AP group, n=27) according to the presence or absence of ALI. 8 normal volunteers were enrolled in the control group. Blood samples were collected and the plasma samples were separated. Plasma RNA was extracted. miR-216a level in plasma was detected by RT-PCR. Plasma exosomes were extracted by exosome extraction kit and identified by the electron microscopy. Exosome RNA was extracted. miR-216a level in exosome was detected by RT-PCR. Plasma exosomes of AP-ALI patients were co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC, AP-ALI-HUVEC group) and anti-miR-216a transfected HUVECs (AP-ALI-anti-miR-216a HUVEC group) for 24 hours, respectively, and untreated HUVECs served as control group. Trans-endothelium electrical resistance (TEER) was measured by Millicell Ers-2 epithelial volt-ohmmeter to evaluate the cell permeability.

Results:

RT-PCR results showed that the expression level of plasma miR-216a in AP-ALI group (14.45±1.64) was significantly higher than that in AP group (11.08±1.6) and the control group (5.37±1.54) ( P<0.01). Under electron microscope, plasma exosomes were goblet like vacuoles, with the size of about 50-90 nm. The plasma exosomal miR-216a level in the AP-ALI group (14.03±1.58) was significantly higher than that in the AP group (10.86±1.31) and the control group (5.01±0.79), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The resistance value of HUVEC in the control group was referred as 1, and the resistance ratio of HUVEC in AP-ALI-HUVEC group was 0.74±0.04, which was significantly lower than that of HUVEC in AP-ALI-anti-miR-216a HUVEC group (1.02±0.08), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01).

Conclusions:

miR-216a was highly expressed in plasma exosomes of AP patients with ALI. miR-216a can increase endothelial cell permeability, which may be associated with ALI during AP.
