“…This miRNA is commonly considered to be liver specific, and increased serum concentrations have been reported in cases of liver injury and hepatotoxicity [63]. Increased serum levels of miR-122-5p were also reported in sepsis patients, correlating with liver damage, coagulation disorders and mortality [53,64,65]. A more recent publication by Roderburg et al, however, demonstrated that miR-122-5p expression in critically ill patients was dysregulated by hepatic injury alone, independent of an infectious state [66].…”

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are intercellular communicators with key functions in physiological and pathological processes and have recently garnered interest because of their diagnostic and therapeutic potential. The past decade has brought about the development and commercialization of a wide array of methods to isolate EVs from serum. Which subpopulations of EVs are captured strongly depends on the isolation method, which in turn determines how suitable resulting samples are for various downstream applications. To help clinicians and scientists choose the most appropriate approach for their experiments, isolation methods need to be comparatively characterized. Few attempts have been made to comprehensively analyse vesicular microRNAs (miRNAs) in patient biofluids for biomarker studies. To address this discrepancy, we set out to benchmark the performance of several isolation principles for serum EVs in healthy individuals and critically ill patients. Here, we compared five different methods of EV isolation in combination with two RNA extraction methods regarding their suitability for biomarker discovery-focused miRNA sequencing as well as biological characteristics of captured vesicles. Our findings reveal striking method-specific differences in both the properties of isolated vesicles and the ability of associated miRNAs to serve in biomarker research. While isolation by precipitation and membrane affinity was highly suitable for miRNA-based biomarker discovery, methods based on size-exclusion chromatography failed to separate patients from healthy volunteers. Isolated vesicles differed in size, quantity, purity and composition, indicating that each method captured distinctive populations of EVs as well as additional contaminants. Even though the focus of this work was on transcriptomic profiling of EV-miRNAs, our insights also apply to additional areas of research. We provide guidance for navigating the multitude of EV isolation methods available today and help researchers and clinicians make an informed choice about which strategy to use for experiments involving critically ill patients.

“…Compared with severe sepsis patients with normal platelet counts, the expression of miR-130a in peripheral blood monocytic cells was significantly lower in septic patients with thrombocytopenia [86]. Longitudinal samples of sepsis patients revealed a sustainable increase of miR-122 up to 14 days after admission to the intensive care unit and showed a strong correlation with antithrombin III ( R = 0.913, p < 0.001) [87]. To determine direct or indirect effects of miRNAs on coagulation, further mechanistic studies are required to identify crosstalk, if any, between cytokines, thrombocyte synthesis/apoptosis, and deregulation of miRNAs.…”

BackgroundSepsis coincides with altered gene expression in different tissues. Accumulating evidence has suggested that microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs are important molecules involved in the crosstalk with various pathways pertinent to innate immunity, mitochondrial functions, and apoptosis.MethodsWe searched articles indexed in PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Europe PubMed Central databases using the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) or Title/Abstract words (“microRNA”, “long non-coding RNA”, “circular RNA”, “sepsis” and/or “septic shock”) from inception to Sep 2016. Studies investigating the role of host-derived microRNA, long non-coding RNA, and circular RNA in the pathogenesis of and as biomarkers or therapeutics in sepsis were included. Data were extracted in terms of the role of non-coding RNAs in pathogenesis, and their applicability for use as biomarkers or therapeutics in sepsis. Two independent researchers assessed the quality of studies using a modified guideline from the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory animal Experimentation (SYRCLE), a tool based on the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias tool.ResultsObservational studies revealed dysregulation of non-coding RNAs in septic patients. Experimental studies confirmed their crosstalk with JNK/NF-κB and other cellular pathways pertinent to innate immunity, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis. Of the included studies, the SYRCLE scores ranged from 3 to 7 (average score of 4.55). This suggests a moderate risk of bias. Of the 10 articles investigating non-coding RNAs as biomarkers, none of them included a validation cohort. Selective reporting of sensitivity, specificity, and receiver operating curve was common.ConclusionsAlthough non-coding RNAs appear to be good candidates as biomarkers and therapeutics for sepsis, their differential expression across tissues complicated the process. Further investigation on organ-specific delivery of these regulatory molecules may be useful.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13054-016-1555-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…miR-147b represents an endothelial barrier of protection against endotoxin-mediated inflammation by decreasing ADAM metallopeptidase domain 15 (ADAM15) expression and attenuating LPS-induced barrier dysfunction during septic challenge by bacterial LPS in endothelial cells (12). Serum levels of miR-122 have been shown to be increased in patietns with sepsis with clotting abnormalities (13). miR-133a levels have also been shown to correlate with the severity of sepsis and, at significantly higher levels, predicted an unfavorable prognosis of critically ill patients (14).…”

Inflammatory cytokines belonging to high mobility group box (HMGB)1 play a key role in sepsis through yet unknown mechanisms. The inflammatory response is modulated by microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) at multiple levels and is poorly understood. In this study, the regulation of HMGB1 by miRNAs was evaluated using 3-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)anabaseine (GTS-21) to activate the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) and decrease HMGB1 expression in RAW264.7 cells. Microarray-based miRNA expression profiling of RAW264.7 cells was used to screen target miRNAs through genetic screening, GO analysis and hierarchical clustering. The expression of miRNA targets in the serum, colon, spleen, livers and lungs of BALB/c mice was quantified by RT-qPCR. Serum protein levels were quantified by ELISA. Western blot analysis and RT-qPCR were used for verification in vitro. Using miRNA array analysis, we screened 3 miRNAs (miR‑205‑5b, miR‑196a and miR‑193b). Animal experiments with miR‑205‑5b indicated its high degree of expression in the serum, colon, spleen, liver and lungs following the downregulation of HMGB1 in the tissues. RAW264.7 cells transfected with miR‑205‑5b mimics downregulated HMGB1 protein expression, suggesting translational regulation. HMGB1 expression negatively correlated with miR‑205‑5b expression in LPS-induced sepsis. By contrast, HMGB1 expression in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells was increased following transfection with miR‑205‑5b inhibitor. miR‑205‑5b is a critical mediator of cholinergic anti-inflammatory activity in late sepsis. The upregulation of miR‑205‑5b as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases is a possible novel therapeutic strategy against late sepsis. The mechanisms involved include the by post-transcriptional suppression of HMGB1 in cells and tissues.
