Endometritis is one of the important reasons for the low fecundity of dairy cows, which has brought huge economic losses to the dairy industry. Emerging evidence suggests that miR-92b is a novel therapeutic molecule that plays a crucial role in many inflammatory diseases. However, its mechanism in lipoteichoic acid (LTA) induced endometritis remains unclear. In the present study, we explored the mechanism of miR-92b on LTA-induced endometritis in vivo and in vitro. The result displayed that the expression of miR-92b was reduced in LTA induced mouse endometritis and bovine endometrial epithelial cell lines (BEND). Overexpression miR-92b significantly alleviated mouse uterine injury and reduced the protein levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and the MPO activity. The reporter assay of luciferase showed that miR-92b directly targeted the transmembrane receptor Frizzled-10 (FZD10), a transmembrane-type Wnt receptor. Molecular experiments were further performed to explore the mechanism of miR-92b in protecting LTA induced endometritis. The results of in vitro suggested that miR-92b mimic decreased the protein levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin in LTA stimulated BEND, which were abolished by overexpression of FZD10. As expected, miR-92b mimic decreased the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, while overexpression of FZD10 promoted the production of these pro-inflammatory cytokines. Collectively, the above findings indicated that miR-92b might be an effective strategy for treatment of LTA induced endometritis.
