“…The study showed that miR-495 and miR-551a suppressed the invasion and migration of human gastric cancer cells by directly mediating with phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 [43]. MiR-22 restrains apoptosis and improves cell activity in endothelial cell (EC) injury under coronary heart disease (CHD) stress, and the role of NLRP3 is the opposite [44]. Moreover, the NLRP3 inflammasome regulates contrast-media-induced acute kidney damage through controlling cell apoptosis [45].…”

Background/Aims: In recent years, microRNA-495 (miR-495) has been reported to be a tumor-suppressor miR that is down-modulated in cancers. However, its potential mechanism remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the role of miR-495 in cardiac microvascular endothelial cell (CMEC) injury and inflammatory reaction by mediating the pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling pathway. Methods: Overall, 40 mice were assigned into myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIR) and sham groups. After model establishment, the levels of troponin T (TnT), troponin I (TnI), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), myoglobin (MYO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin 1beta (IL-1β) were detected by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Apoptosis was evaluated using Terminal deoxy (d)-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, the level of NLRP3 protein was determined by immunohistochemical assay, and miR-495 was detected by in situ hybridization (ISH). The infarct size was determined using 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The expression of miR-495 and the mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 and caspase-1 were evaluated by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. After transfection, the cells were treated with a miR-495 mimic, a miR-495 inhibitor, or siNLRP3. Cell proliferation was measured by the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cell cycle and apoptosis by flow cytometry. Results: Mice with myocardial I/R injury had elevated levels of TnT, TnI, NT-proBNP, CK-MB, MYO, TNF-α and IL-1β; enhanced cell apoptosis; increased expression of NLRP3, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 and caspase-1; and decreased miR-495 expression. MiR-495 was confirmed to target NLRP3. Moreover, miR-495 reduced the mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 and caspase-1, inhibited cell apoptosis and decreased cells at the G₀/G₁ phase while improving cell proliferation and increasing cells at the S phase. However, the effects of NLRP4 were proved to be reciprocal. Conclusion: In conclusion, the current study indicated that miR-495 improved CMEC injury and inflammation by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

“…Furthermore, employing NLRP3 targeting miRNA might serve as a successful therapeutic approach for the treatment of thrombotic features (Huang et al, 2017;Neudecker et al, 2017). Huang et al (2017), demonstrated the effect of miR-22 in lowering the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, which suppresses coronary arterial ECs apoptosis in rats with coronary heart disease. miRNA regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome is very well documented.…”

Inflammasome complex is a multimeric protein comprising of upstream sensor protein of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family. It has an adaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like protein and downstream effector cysteine protease procaspase-1. Activation of inflammasome complex is body's innate response to pathogen attack but its abnormal activation results in many inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders including thrombosis. It has displayed a prominent role in the clot formation advocating an interplay between inflammation and coagulation cascades. Therefore, elucidation of inflammasome and its molecular mechanisms in the manifestation of prothrombotic phenotypes becomes pertinent. Thrombosis is the formation and propagation of blood clot in the arterial or venous system due to several interactions of vascular and immune factors. It is a prevalent pathology underlying disorders like venous thromboembolism, stroke and acute coronary syndrome; thus, making thrombosis, a major contributor to the global disease burden. Recently studies have established a strong connection of inflammatory processes with this blood coagulation disorder. The hemostatic balance in thrombosis gets altered by the inflammatory mechanisms resulting in endothelial and platelet activation that subsequently increases secretion of several prothrombotic and antifibrinolytic factors. The upregulation of these factors is the critical event in the pathogenesis of thrombosis. Among various inflammasome, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-richcontaining family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is one of the best-studied sterile inflammasome strengthening a link between inflammation and coagulation in thrombosis. NLRP3 activation results in the catalytic conversion of procaspase-1 to active caspase-1, which facilitate the maturation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18. These cytokines are responsible for immune cells activation critical for immune responses. These responses further results in endothelial and platelet activation and aggregation. However, the exact molecular mechanism related to the pathogenesis of thrombosis is still elusive. There have been several reports that demonstrate Tissue factor (TF)-mediated signaling in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines enhancing inflammation by activating protease-activated receptors on various cells,

“…NLRP3 is also a direct target of miR-20b-5p, upregulation of which alleviates Mycobacterium tuberculosis-induced inflammation in murine lung tissue (54). Additionally, miR-22-3p downregulates NLRP3 expression, and this miRNA is decreased in injured coronary arterial endothelial cells in a rat model of high-fat diet-induced coronary heart disease, whereas upregulation of miR-22-3p exerts a protective effect on cell survival (55). The expression of miR-133b-3p, which also targets NLRP3, is reduced in the nasal mucosa of a mouse model of allergic rhinitis (56).…”

Inflammasomes are protein complexes that respond to a wide range of pathogens and cellular damage signals. Their activation prompts the caspase-1–mediated cleavage of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Inflammasome dysregulation has been demonstrated to play a role in a range of diseases involving the adaptive immune system like multiple sclerosis, rheumatic diseases, and type 1 diabetes. Priming and activation of inflammasomes can be modulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally. miRNAs, such as miR-223-3p, have been demonstrated to directly target the inflammasome components NLRP3, caspase-1, and caspase-8. Other miRNAs like miR-155-5p modulate TLR-, IL-1R–, TNFR-, and IFNAR-mediated signaling pathways upstream of the inflammasomes. In this study, we discuss how a more detailed elucidation of miRNA-driven inflammasome regulation helps in understanding the molecular processes underlying immune-mediated human diseases, holds potential for the identification of biomarkers and may offer novel targets for the development of future therapeutics.
