Abstract

miRNAs are short single-stranded noncoding RNAs that participate as epigenetic regulators in inflammatory bowel disease. Most miRNAs detectable in serum are concentrated in exosomes, with relevant cargo for immunobiological processes. We set to evaluate the exosomes miRNAs content in the serum of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and run a prospective observational study on CD patients on biological monotherapy and healthy controls. miRNA cargo was evaluated in peripheral blood-derived exosomes. Serum autophagy and inflammatory substrates were measured. Patients were followed for 6 months. Patients (n = 28) showed an overexpression of miR-376a-3p and a downregulation of miR-20a-5p compared to controls (n = 10), without significant differences between patients according to biologics. Serum autophagy substrates ATG4C (r = .57; p = .001) and ACRV1C (r = .66; p = .001) inversely correlated with miR-376a-3p expression, whereas IGF1R correlated with miR-20a-5p expression (r = .42; p = .02). Th1-related cytokines correlated with miR-376a-3p expression, whereas the Th17-associated cytokines inversely correlated with miR-20a-5p expression. Smoking (β = -2.301 CI 95% -3.790/-0.811, p = .004) remained as independent factor related to the overexpression of miR-376a-3p, whereas diagnosis before 16 years of age (β = 2.044 CI 95% 0.934/3.154, p = .001) and a younger age of patients (β = -.720 CI 95% -0.108/-0.035, p = .001) were related to decreased miR-20a-5p expression. Seven patients (25%) had a flare in the 6-month follow-up. Patients with overexpression of miR-376a-3p at the baseline showed an increased risk of flare during this period (OR 0.475 [0.237-0.950], p = .035). Finally, a comparative miRNA signature between biologic monotherapies was also explored. Targeting miR-376a-3p and miR-20a-5p epigenetic regulators may yield homeostatic effects on relevant biological processes related to disease progression in CD patients.

摘要

miRNAs 是短的单链非编码 RNA,作为炎症性肠病的表观遗传调节剂参与其中。大多数可在血清中检测到的 miRNAs 集中在外泌体中,具有免疫生物学过程的相关货物。我们着手评估克罗恩病 (CD) 患者血清中的外泌体 miRNAs 含量,并对接受生物单药治疗的 CD 患者和健康对照进行前瞻性观察研究。在外周血衍生的外泌体中评估了 miRNA 货物。测量了血清自噬和炎症底物。对患者进行了 6 个月的随访。与对照组 (n = 10) 相比,患者 (n = 28) 表现出 miR-376a-3p 的过表达和 miR-20a-5p 的下调,但根据生物制剂,患者之间没有显著差异。血清自噬底物 ATG4C (r = .57;p = .001) 和 ACRV1C (r = .66;p = .001) 与 miR-376a-3p 表达呈负相关,而 IGF1R 与 miR-20a-5p 表达相关 (r = .42;p = .02)。Th1 相关细胞因子与 miR-376a-3p 表达相关,而 Th17 相关细胞因子与 miR-20a-5p 表达呈负相关。吸烟 (β = -2.301 CI 95% -3.790/-0.811,p = .004) 仍然是与 miR-376a-3p 过表达相关的独立因素,而 16 岁之前的诊断 (β = 2.044 CI 95% 0.934/3.154,p = .001) 和患者的年轻年龄 (β = -.720 CI 95% -0.108/-0.035,p = .001) 与 miR-20a-5p 表达降低有关。在 6 个月的随访中有 7 名患者 (25%) 出现了病情加重。在基线时 miR-376a-3p 过表达的患者在这段时间内出现病情加重的风险增加 (OR 0.475 [0.237-0.950],p = .035)。最后,还探索了生物单药治疗之间的比较 miRNA 特征。靶向 miR-376a-3p 和 miR-20a-5p 的表观遗传调节剂可能对与 CD 患者疾病进展相关的相关生物学过程产生动态平衡效应。
