Abstract EN
Objective.
This study was to screen for the miRNAs differently expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of RA, to further identify the expression of miR-155 in RA PBMC and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), and to evaluate the function of miR-155 in RA-FLS.
Methods.
Microarray was used to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in RA PBMC.
miR-155 expression in PBMC and FLS of RA were identified by real-time PCR.
Enforced overexpression and downexpression of miR-155 were used to investigate the function of miR-155 in RA-FLS.
Expression of IKBKE which was previously identified as the actual target of miR-155 was examined by Western blot and real-time PCR in RA-FLS.
Results.
miR-155 levels were increased in both PBMC and FLS of RA and could be induced by TNF-α.
Upregulation of miR-155 decreased MMP-3 levels and suppressed proliferation and invasion of RA-FLS.
Inverse relationship between the expressions of miR-155 and the MMPs production-related protein IKBKE was found.
Conclusion.
An inflammatory milieu may alter miRNA expression profiles in rheumatoid arthritis.
miR-155 is upregulated in RA-FLS, and it may be a protective factor against the inflammatory effect in part by attenuating expression of IKBKE.
