Down-Regulation of LOC645166 in T Cells of Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients Promotes the NF-κB Signaling via Decreasingly Blocking Recruitment of the IKK Complex to K63-Linked Polyubiquitin Chains.

ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the spine. AS is highly associated with the expression of HLA-B27. Up to 95% AS patients are HLA-B27-positive. However, only 1%-2% of the HLA-B27-positive carriers suffer from AS, implying that other factors may also govern the development of AS. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the immune response via their binding proteins. In the present study, we have identified that the levels of lncRNA, LOC645166, in T cells of AS patients were reduced. Overexpression of LOC645166 in Jurkat cells down-regulated the IL-23p19 expression and suppressed the JAK2/STAT3 signaling in response to stimulation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Suppression of STAT3 activation by LOC645166 was also observed when Jurkat cells or T cells of AS patient were treated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. In order to explore the role of LOC645166 in the pathogenesis of AS, RNA pull-down assay plus proteomic approach and western blotting were performed and identified that LOC645166 prefers binding the K63-linked polyubiquitin chains. LOC645166 can suppress recruitment of the IKK complex to K63-linked polyubiquitin chains and diminish IKK2 activation, leading to down-regulation of NF-κB activation. Down-regulation of LOC645166 expression in T cells of AS patients up-regulates NF-kB activation via decreasingly impeding recruitment of the IKK complex to K63-linked polyubiquitin chains, allowing AS patients to exhibit more sensitivity to stimulation by the proinflammatory cytokines or by TLR ligands.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating eukaryotic gene expression. Recent studies indicated that aberrantly expressed miRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Indeed, hsa-miR-495-3p (miR-495) has been reported as an anti-oncogene in different cancers. However, the role of miR-495 in AS is still unknown.MethodsIn this study, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-495 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), whole blood, and serum of patients with AS. Bisulfite-specific PCR sequencing and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation were used to detect the methylation in the promoter region of miR-495. To determine the influence of miR-495 expression on the target gene, programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10), dual luciferase reporter assays together with an adenoviral vector containing the miR-495 locus were used. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of miR-495 as a diagnostic biomarker of AS. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, and western blotting were used to explore the potential role of miR-495 in AS pathogenesis and the mechanism by which it facilitates AS pathogenesis.ResultsmiR-495 is down-regulated and the promoter region of miR-495 is highly methylated in AS. The expression of miR-495 is negatively associated with PDCD10 expression in both patients with AS and healthy controls. Further experiments showed that PDCD10 can be targeted by miR-495. The ROC curves of miR-495 suggested that it is a very specific and sensitive biomarker for AS diagnosis. Bioinformatics analysis and signal pathway studies indicated that miR-495 can down-regulate β-catenin and transforming growth factor-β1.ConclusionsOur studies indicated that down-regulation of miR-495 can be used as a potential molecular marker for the diagnosis and treatment of AS, thus providing new insights into the role of miRNAs in AS pathology.
