ABSTRACT Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) secretes a 20-kDa metalloprotease toxin termed B. fragilis toxin (BFT). ETBF disease in animals is associated with an acute inflammatory response in the intestinal mucosa, and lethal hemorrhagic colitis may occur in rabbits. In this study, we confirmed recent reports (J. M. Kim, Y. K. Oh, Y. J. Kim, H. B. Oh, and Y. J. Cho, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 123:421-427, 2001; L. Sanfilippo, C. K. Li, R. Seth, T. J. Balwin, M. J. Menozzi, and Y. R. Mahida, Clin. Exp. Immunol. 119:456-463, 2000) that purified BFT stimulates interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion by human intestinal epithelial cells (HT29/C1 cells) and demonstrate that stimulation of IL-8 production is dependent on biologically active BFT and independent of serum. Induction of IL-8 mRNA expression occurs rapidly and ceases by 6 h after BFT treatment, whereas IL-8 secretion continues to increase for at least 18 h. Our data suggest that BFT-stimulated IL-8 secretion involves tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) as well as activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), p38 and extracellular signal-related kinase. Simultaneous activation of NF-κB and MAPKs appears necessary for secretion of IL-8 by HT29/C1 cells treated with BFT.

ABSTRACT Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease worldwide. Long noncoding RNAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pneumonia. However, the effect and mechanism of long intergenic nonprotein-coding RNA (LINC00707) on pneumonia pathogenesis were still unclear. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) reduced cell viability and promoted apoptosis and inflammation in MRC-5 cells. LINC00707 was increased, and miR-223-5p was decreased in LPS-treated MRC-5 cells. LINC00707 knockdown relieved LPS-triggered injury in MRC-5 cells. LINC00707 directly interacted with miR-223-5p through acting as a miR-223-5p sponge. Moreover, miR-223-5p mediated the regulation of LINC00707 silencing on LPS-stimulated cytotoxicity in MRC-5 cells. p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways were modulated by the LINC00707/miR-223-5p axis in LPS-induced MRC-5 cells. Our present study indicated that LINC00707 depletion alleviated LPS-induced injury in MRC-5 cells at least partly by acting as a sponge of miR-223-5p, highlighting a new potential therapeutic avenue for pneumonia treatment.
