Abstract
Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury leads to multiple organ injuries via gut-derived mediators following severe injury. Growing evidence suggests that exosomes secreted from intestinal epithelial cells are heavily involved in the development of systemic inflammation, but a full elucidation of its pathology remains to be completed. To produce an integrated understanding of its pathology, this study aimed to reveal the changes in exosome content after ischemic stimulation. Our result showed (1) the proteins involved in inflammation by catalyzing RNAs were upregulated, (2) hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, and hsa-miR-30d-5p levels were increased while hsa-miR-124-3p level was decreased, (3) the increase in unsaturated lysophosphatidylcholines levels. These results together with those of previous studies, suggest that lysophosphatidylcholines may activate the NK-κB pathway. The proteins and microRNAs jointly act to disrupt negative feedback, thereby increasing inflammation. Thus, our results clarify part of the mechanism of multi-organ failure after intestinal ischemic recanalization, thereby providing a new target for treatment.
