Our laboratory has investigated the role of an evolutionarily conserved RNA species called microRNAs (miRs) in regulation of anti-chlamydial protective immunity. MiRs including miR-155 expressed in specific immune effector cells are critical for antigen specific protective immunity and IFN-γ production. Using miR-155 deficient mice, and a murine pulmonary model for chlamydial infection, we report here 1) the effect of host miR-155 on bacterial burden, and 2) identify probable immune genes regulated by miR-155.
我们实验室研究了一种进化上保守的 RNA 物种——microRNAs（miRs）在调节抗衣原体保护性免疫中的作用。在特定的免疫效应细胞中表达的 miR-155 等 miR 对于抗原特异性保护性免疫和 IFN-γ 的产生至关重要。使用 miR-155 缺陷小鼠和衣原体感染的小鼠肺部模型，我们在此报告 1）宿主 miR-155 对细菌负荷的影响，以及 2）鉴定可能受 miR-155 调控的免疫基因。
