Glucocorticoid-induced microRNA-511 protects against TNF by down-regulating TNFR1
نویسندگان
چکیده
TNF is a central actor during inflammation and a well-recognized drug target for inflammatory diseases. We found that the mouse strain SPRET/Ei, known for extreme and dominant resistance against TNF-induced shock, displays weak expression of TNF receptor 1 protein (TNFR1) but normal mRNA expression, a trait genetically linked to the major TNFR1 coding gene Tnfrsf1a and to a locus harbouring the predicted TNFR1-regulating miR-511. This miRNA is a genuine TNFR1 regulator in cells. In mice, overexpression of miR-511 down-regulates TNFR1 and protects against TNF, while anti-miR-511 up-regulates TNFR1 and sensitizes for TNF, breaking the resistance of SPRET/Ei. We found that miR-511 inhibits endotoxemia and experimental hepatitis and that this miR is strongly induced by glucocorticoids and is a true TNFR1 modulator and thus an anti-inflammatory miR. Since minimal reductions of TNFR1 have considerable effects on TNF sensitivity, we believe that at least part of the anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorti-coids are mediated by induction of this miR, resulting in reduced TNFR1 expression.

The fiendish behavior of TNF can be counteracted by microRNA
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a fascinating anti‐tumoral cytokine, which plays a key role in orchestrating the fight of innate immunity against infection. Concomitantly, TNF is a major player of the inflammatory response, as illustrated by successful therapeutic strategies targeting TNF in patho logies such as Crohn's diseases, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. In mice, TNF is able to induce ...

Objective(s): Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by degradation of articular cartilage, is a leading cause of disability. As the only cell type present in cartilage, chondrocytes play curial roles in the progression of OA. In our study, we aimed to explore the roles of miR-23b in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury. Materials and Methods: LPS-induced cell injury of ATDC5 ce...

Protein kinase C (PKC) triggers cellular signals that regulate proliferation or death in a cell- and stimulus-specific manner. Although previous studies have demonstrated that activation of PKC with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) protects cells from apoptosis induced by a number of mechanisms, including death receptor ligation, little is known about the effect or mechanism of PMA in the ...
