T cells are polarized toward regulatory T cells (Tregs) in tumor microenvironment by the shuttling of microRNAs that target T cell-activating signaling pathways. We evaluated the expression of the miR-182 cluster (miR-96, 182, and 183) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with breast cancer (BC), and T cell polarization by the expression of FOXO1, NFATs, ITK, TCR/CD3 complex, and IL-2/IL-2RA. Twenty-six microRNAs overexpressed in tumor tissues and sera of these patients were extracted by a meta-analysis. Then, the expression of the miR-182 cluster was investigated in PBMCs and sera of these patients and correlated with their targets in PBMCs. Finally, miR-182 was cloned into Jurkat cells to evaluate its effects on T cell polarization. FOXO1, CD3d, ITK, NFATc3, NFATc4, and IL-2RA were targeted by miR-182, due to which their expression decreased in PBMCs of patients. Although IL-6, IL-17, and TGF-β increased after miR-182 transduction, IL-2 dramatically decreased. We revealed CD4 FOXP3 T cell differentiation in the miR-182-transduced group. Although miR-182 has inhibitory effects on T cells by the inhibition of FOXO1, TCR/CD3 complex, NFATs, and IL-2/IL-2RA signaling pathways, it increases FOXP3, TGF-β, and IL-17 expression to possibly drive T cell deviation toward the transitional state of IL-17-producing Tregs and Treg formation in the end.
通过靶向T细胞激活信号通路的微小RNA穿梭,肿瘤微环境中的T细胞向调节性T细胞(Tregs)极化。我们评估了乳腺癌(BC)患者外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)中miR-182簇(miR-96、182和183)的表达,以及通过FOXO1、NFATs、ITK、TCR/CD3复合物和IL-2/IL-2RA的表达来评估T细胞极化情况。通过荟萃分析提取了这些患者肿瘤组织和血清中过表达的26种微小RNA。然后,研究了这些患者PBMCs和血清中miR-182簇的表达,并将其与PBMCs中的靶标相关联。最后,将miR-182克隆到Jurkat细胞中以评估其对T细胞极化的影响。miR-182靶向FOXO1、CD3d、ITK、NFATc3、NFATc4和IL-2RA,因此患者PBMCs中它们的表达降低。虽然miR-182转导后IL-6、IL-17和TGF-β增加,但IL-2显著降低。我们揭示了miR-182转导组中CD4 FOXP3 T细胞的分化。虽然miR-182通过抑制FOXO1、TCR/CD3复合物、NFATs和IL-2/IL-2RA信号通路对T细胞具有抑制作用,但它增加了FOXP3、TGF-β和IL-17的表达,最终可能促使T细胞向产生IL-17的Tregs过渡状态和Treg形成方向偏移。
