lncRNA-SNHG14 Plays a Role in Acute Lung Injury Induced by Lipopolysaccharide through Regulating Autophagy via miR-223-3p/Foxo3a

Figure 5

lncRNA-SNHG14/miR-223-3p/Foxo3a axis played a role in the LPS-induced ALI mice model. Animals were administered with AAV-SNHG14, AAV-miR-223-3p-OE, AAV-SNHG14 + AAV-Foxo3a-OE, and AAV-miR-223-3p-OE + AAV-Foxo3a-OE 2 weeks before LPS treatment, respectively. After 12 h of LPS instilling. Lung tissue samples were collected; lung injury level was estimated by pathological section ((a) hematoxylin-eosin staining). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected. Neutrophil count (b), IL-6 (c), IL-1β (d), and TNF-α (e) levels in BALF were determined. (f) Lung wet/dry weight ratio was measured. compared with the Sham group; # compared with the mice treated with AAV-SH-SNHG14 or AAV-miR-223-3p-OE alone.
