- miR-130b is significantly reduced in HUVECs after LPS treatment.
- miR-130b inhibits inflammation related gene expression.
- miR-130b inhibits ERK activation via negatively regulating TPL2 expression.
- In vivo overexpression of miR-130b attenuates LPS-induced vascular inflammation.
Endothelial cell (EC) activation and dysfunction have been linked to a wide variety of vascular inflammatory diseases. However, the role of microRNAs in EC activation and inflammation remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that miR-130b was significantly decreased in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) after lipopolysaccharides (LPS) treatment. Forced expression of miR-130b inhibited the LPS-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the inflammatory genes expression, such as interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Furthermore, we identified that tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a direct target of miR-130b. Finally, in vivo overexpression of miR-130b via miR-130b agomir attenuates acute lung vascular inflammation in the LPS-induced sepsis mouse model. Taken together, our data demonstrated that miR-130b represses vascular inflammation via targeting Tpl2, suggesting that miR-130b mimics might be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of vascular inflammatory diseases.
