| Abstract | The present study aimed to explore the potential roles and mechanism of microRNA-4485 (miR-4485) in severe influenza pneumonia. miR-4485 expression was detected in patients with severe H1N1 pneumonia using quantitative PCR. Furthermore, the effects of aberrantly expressed miR-4485 on H1N1-infected A549 cells were investigated using Cell Counting Kit-8, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, western blotting and (ELISA) assays. Furthermore, the regulatory relationships between miR-4485 and the STAT3-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway were explored using a luciferase reporter and rescue assay. MiR-4485 expression was downregulated following H1N1 infection and in patients with H1N1 pneumonia. In addition, miR-4485 alleviated H1N1-induced A549 cell injury by promoting cell viability and the production of cytokines, as well as reducing apoptosis in A549 cells. Furthermore, STAT3 was revealed to be a target gene of miR-4485. Additionally, STAT3 silencing reversed the protective effects of miR-4485 knockdown on H1N1-induced cell injury via inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-4485 inhibited H1N1-induced severe pneumonia in A549 cells by targeting STAT3 via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. |
