Sputum exosomal microRNAs profiling reveals critical pathways modulated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in bronchiectasis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Our findings have clinical implications. Identification of sputum exosomal miRNA helps explore the important biological pathways underlying the pathogenesis of bronchiectasis, thus unraveling candidate targets for future interventions of PA colonization. Apart from canonical inflammatory pathways, we have unraveled the modulation of longevity regulation pathway which opens a new avenue for exploring how PA colonization interacts with the airway epithelium. The significant correlation between sputum inflammatory biomarkers and miR-92b-5p and miR-223-3p provided further evidence on the unresolved inflammation in the PA-colonized microenvironment. However, causality cannot be inferred based on the current study design.
