Th17 cell differentiation is involved in the development and progression of many diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Present study mainly focused on the role of LINC-XIST in Th17 cell differentiation.
The naïve CD4+ T cells were isolated from human whole blood. Cells were cultured under Th17 cell-polarizing condition for 6 days. The expression of LINC-XIST and miR-153-3p was measured by qPCR. The relationship between LINC-XIST, miR-153-3p, and ETS1 was predicted by TargetScan website and authenticated by luciferase reporter assay. ELISA assays were conducted to evaluate the IL-17 concentration. Western blot was utilized to measure the protein expression of ETS1. Th17 cell frequency was examined by flow cytometry.
The expression of XIST markedly decreased and miR-153-3p expression markedly increased with Th17 cell differentiation. The mRNA expression of IL-17, IL-17 concentration, and Th17 cell frequency were observably decreased in overexpressed LINC-XIST group. Luciferase reporter assay authenticated that miR-153-5p was directly regulated by LINC-XIST. miR-153-3p inhibitor observably decreased IL-17 concentration, mRNA expression of IL-17, and Th17 cell frequency while si-XIST reversed this impact. ETS1 was confirmed to be regulated by miR-153-5p via luciferase reporter assay. In addition, ETS1 markedly decreased IL-17 mRNA expression, IL-17 concentration, and Th17 cell frequency while miR-153-5p mimic reversed this impact.
LNCRNA XIST inhibited miR-377-3p to hinder Th17 cell differentiation through upregulating ETS1.
Th17 细胞分化参与许多疾病的发展和进展,如类风湿关节炎和系统性红斑狼疮。本研究主要关注 LINC-XIST 在 Th17 细胞分化中的作用。
从人全血中分离出幼稚 CD4+T 细胞。细胞在 Th17 细胞极化条件下培养 6 天。通过 qPCR 测量 LINC-XIST 和 miR-153-3p 的表达。TargetScan 网站预测 LINC-XIST、miR-153-3p 和 ETS1 之间的关系,并通过荧光素酶报告基因检测进行验证。ELISA 检测试剂盒用于评估 IL-17 浓度。Western blot 用于测量 ETS1 的蛋白表达。流式细胞术用于检测 Th17 细胞频率。
随着 Th17 细胞分化,XIST 的表达显著降低,miR-153-3p 的表达显著增加。过表达 LINC-XIST 组的 IL-17mRNA 表达、IL-17 浓度和 Th17 细胞频率明显降低。荧光素酶报告基因检测证实 miR-153-5p 可直接受 LINC-XIST 调控。miR-153-3p 抑制剂显著降低了 IL-17 浓度、IL-17mRNA 表达和 Th17 细胞频率,而 si-XIST 逆转了这一影响。荧光素酶报告基因检测证实 ETS1 受 miR-153-5p 通过调控。此外,ETS1 显著降低了 IL-17mRNA 表达、IL-17 浓度和 Th17 细胞频率,而 miR-153-5p 模拟物逆转了这一影响。
