To examine the roles of microRNAs in the development of colitis, we conducted the RNA-sequencing studies using RNA derived from normal and colitogenic CD4+ T cells. Colitogenic CD4 T cells demonstrated the increased expression of miR-150. We focused on the involvement of miR-150 in the colitis.
We crossed miR-150 knockout mice and T-cell-specific Rap1KO mice, which is colitis model mice and spontaneously develop the colitis with tubular adenomas in microbiota-dependent manner.
MiR-150 silencing completely inhibited the expansion of pathogenic Th17 cells and the development of colitis.
MiR-150 is a potential therapeutic target of inflammatory bowel diseases.
为研究微小RNA在结肠炎发展中的作用,我们使用来自正常和致结肠炎CD4 + T细胞的RNA进行了RNA测序研究。致结肠炎CD4 T细胞显示出miR-150表达增加。我们重点研究了miR-150在结肠炎中的作用。
我们将miR-150基因敲除小鼠与T细胞特异性Rap1基因敲除小鼠进行杂交,后者是结肠炎模型小鼠,以微生物群依赖的方式自发发展为伴有管状腺瘤的结肠炎。
miR-150沉默完全抑制了致病性Th17细胞的扩增和结肠炎的发展。
miR-150是炎症性肠病的潜在治疗靶点。
