The imbalance of Th17/Treg cell populations has been suggested to be involved in the regulation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis; however, the mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unclear. Recent studies have shown how microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of immune responses and are involved in the development of a variety of inflammatory diseases, including RA. In this study, we demonstrated that the frequencies of CD3+CD4+IL‐17+Th17 cells were significantly higher, and CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells significantly lower in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from RA patients. Detection of cytokines from RA patients revealed an elevated panel of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, including IL‐17, IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α and IL‐22, which carry the inflammatory signature of RA and are crucial in the differentiation and maintenance of pathogenic Th17 cells and dysfunction of Treg cells. However, the level of miR‐21 was significantly lower in RA patients, accompanied by the increase in STAT3 expression and activation, and decrease in STAT5/pSTAT5 protein and Foxp3 mRNA levels. Furthermore, lipopolysaccharide stimulation up‐regulated miR‐21 expression from healthy controls, but down‐regulated miR‐21 expression from RA patients. Therefore, we speculate that miR‐21 may be part of a negative feedback loop in the normal setting. However, miR‐21 levels decrease significantly in RA patients, suggesting that this feedback loop is dysregulated and may contribute to the imbalance of Th17 and Treg cells. MiR‐21 may thus serve as a novel regulator in T‐cell differentiation and homoeostasis, and provides a new therapeutic target for the treatment of RA. 相似文献

High Mobility Group AT‐hook 1 (HMGA1) was identified as a target of miR‐214 in human cervical and colorectal cancers (CaCx and CRC) in a previous study. While the expression of miR‐214 remains suppressed, HMGA1 behaves as a potent oncogene and plays crucial roles in several aberrant signalling pathways by interacting with intermediates like RELA, CTNNB1, STAT3, and TP53 in CaCx and CRC. Hypothetically, miR‐214 should be able to regulate the stabilization of some of these intermediates through the regulation of HMGA1. This was assessed by ectopically expressing miR‐214 or complementarily, by inhibiting the expression of HMGA1. In promoter luciferase assays, miR‐214 inhibited NF‐κB and Wnt activities but elevated TP53 activity in cancer cells. Further, miR‐214 suppressed the expression of HMGA1, RELA, CTNNB1, and STAT3 while elevating TP53 levels, similar to when small interfering RNA (siRNA) against HMGA1 was used, as revealed by Western blotting. It is suggested that poor expression of miR‐214, commonly reported in CaCx and CRC tissues, may not only result in the sustained expression of HMGA1 but also that of RELA, CTNNB1, and STAT3, and a congruent suppression of TP53 during cancer initiation/progression. These several states are, however, reversed when miR‐214 is reintroduced and could explain the tumour suppressive functions observed in earlier studies. Further studies are, however, required to reveal how microRNA‐mediated regulation of HMGA1 expression may affect individual signalling pathways in CaCx and CRC. Current results reveal that miR‐214 is not only able to regulate the expression of its direct target, HMGA1, but also that of a few signalling intermediates like TP53, RELA, CTNNB1, and STAT3, with which HMGA1 interacts. These intermediates play crucial roles in signalling pathways commonly deregulated in human CaCx and CRC. Hence, it is proposed that miR‐214 might act as a tumour suppressor by regulating several aberrant signalling pathways through HMGA1. This knowledge has the potential to help design novel therapeutic strategies in CaCx and CRC. 相似文献

This study was implemented to figure out whether lncRNA HOTAIR/miR‐17‐5p/PTEN axis played a role that was opposite to Shenqifuzheng (SQFZ) injection in regulating the chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells. The gastric cancer tissues were gathered and four gastric cancer cell lines were prepared, including BGC‐823, MGC‐803, SGC‐7901, and MKN28. Moreover, cisplatin, adriamycin, mitomycin, and 5‐fluoroura were managed as the chemo‐therapeutics, and SQFZ was prepared as a Chinese medicine. Striking distinctions of HOTAIR, miR‐17‐5p, and PTEN expressions were observed between gastric cancer tissues and para‐carcinoma normal tissues (P < 0.05). MKN28 was associated with the highest resistance to cisplatin, adriamycin, mitomycin, and 5‐fluoroura among all the cell types, and SQFZ significantly improved the MKN28 cells’ sensitivity to the drugs (P < 0.05). The over‐expressed HOTAIR and miR‐17‐5p, as well as under‐expressed PTEN tended to significantly facilitate the viability, EMT process and proliferation of MKN28 cells that were subject to treatment of chemo‐therapies (P < 0.05). SQFZ could amplify the effects of si‐HOTAIR, miR‐17‐5p inhibitor, and pcDNA‐PTEN on boosting the chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells (P < 0.05). In addition, HOTAIR was also found to directly target miR‐17‐5p, and PTEN appeared to be subject to the modification of HOTAIR and miR‐17‐5p in its acting on the viability, proliferation, EMT process, and apoptosis of gastric cancer cells. The HOTAIR/miR‐17‐5p/PTEN axis could be regarded as the potential treatment targets for gastric cancer, and adjuvant therapy of SQFZ injection could assist in further improving the treatment efficacy of chemo‐therapies for gastric cancer. 相似文献
