Sepsis is a fatal syndrome characterized by uncontrolled systemic inflammatory responses. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the modulation of various pathophysiological processes, but their potential role in sepsis has largely been unexplored. In this study, we observed differential expression of circMLH3 between healthy volunteers and septic patients, and revealed the value of circMLH3 for sepsis diagnosis and prognostic prediction. Interestingly, we discovered a correlation between the expression level of circMLH3 and the degree of pyroptosis, a critical mechanism contributing to uncontrolled inflammation in sepsis patients. Knocking down circMLH3 alleviated macrophage pyroptosis whereas overexpressing circMLH3 aggravated pyroptosis. circMLH3 regulated macrophage pyroptosis by sponging miR-590-3p and subsequently modulating TAK1 expression. Furthermore, we found that the miR-590-3p/TAK1 axis inhibited the activation of pro-caspase-1 and the NLRP3 inflammasome. miR-590-3p overexpression had a protective effect by reducing macrophage pyroptosis, thereby alleviating sepsis-induced lung injury and systemic inflammatory responses. In conclusion, our study elucidated the circMLH3/miR-590-3p/TAK1 signaling pathway and identified its role in regulating mononuclear macrophage pyroptosis, thus providing potential novel targets and strategies for sepsis diagnosis and therapy.
