Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that play important regulatory roles in many cellular pathways. MiRNAs associate with members of the Argonaute (Ago) protein family and bind to partially complementary sequences on mRNAs and induce translational repression or mRNA decay. MiRNA expression can be controlled by transcription factors and can therefore be cell type- or tissue-specific. Here we have analyzed miRNA expression profiles in murine monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages upon stimulation with LPS, LDL, eLDL and oxLDL to identify not only stimuli-specific miRNA, but also to identify a hierarchical miRNA system involving miR-155. For this, miR-155 knockout dendritic cells and macrophages were also sequenced using the same stimuli. Sequencing of murine monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages (each wild type and miR-155 knock out cells) matured and stimulated, respectively, by LPS, oxLDL, eLDL or LDL.

Project description:In response to inflammatory stimulation, dendritic cells (DCs) have a remarkable pattern of differentiation (maturation) that exhibits specific mechanisms to control immunity. Here, we show that in response to Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), several microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulated in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Among these miRNAs, miR-155 is highly up-regulated during maturation. Using LNA silencing combined to microarray technology, we have identified the Toll-like receptor / interleukin-1 (TLR/IL-1) inflammatory pathway as a general target of miR-155. We further demonstrate that miR-155 directly controls the level of important signal transduction molecules. Our observations suggest, therefore, that in mature human DCs, miR-155 is part of a negative feedback loop, which down-modulates inflammatory cytokine production in response to microbial stimuli.

Our observations suggest, therefore, that in mature human DCs, miR-155 is part of a negative feedback loop, which down-modulates inflammatory cytokine production in response to microbial stimuli. We devised a strategy to functionally inhibit the mature form of miR-155 with the aim of identifying the signaling pathways controlled by miR-155 during DC maturation. A LNA-modified oligonucleotide, specifically designed for miR-155 knockdown (anti-miR-155 LNA) was introduced in moDCs by nucleofection prior LPS stimulation. 24h after transfection, a reduction in miR-155 levels of 8- and 32-fold was observed by qPCR in immature and mature moDCs respectively. A comparative microarray analysis (Affymetrix U133 2.0 chip) was performed among miR-155 silenced (anti-miR-155 LNA) and control transfected (scramble LNA) moDCs, exposed or not to LPS. Thus, four samples were totally analyzed. As expected from the limited expression of miR-155 in non-activated DCs, little variation in mRNA expression (177 probe sets differentially expressed employing a cut-off of 1.5) was detected upon miR-155 silencing. Conversely, in LPS-activated cells many mRNAs (1324 probe sets, 770 up-regulated and 554 down-regulated) were affected by miR-155 inhibition.

Project description:The pro-inflammatory microRNA-155 (miR-155) is highly expressed in the serum and CNS lesions of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The whole-body deletion of miR-155 in mice confers resistance to a mouse model of MS, EAE, by reducing the encephalogenic potential of CNS-infiltrating Th17 T cells. However, cell intrinsic roles for miR-155 during EAE have not been formally determined. Here we utilize single-cell RNA sequencing and cell-specific conditional miR-155 knockouts to determine the importance of miR-155 expression in distinct immune cell populations. Time course single-cell sequencing revealed reductions in T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells in whole-body miR-155 knockout mice compared with wild-type controls at day 21. Deletion of miR-155 in T cells, driven by CD4 cre, reduced disease severity similar to whole-body miR-155 knockouts. CD11c cre-driven deletion of miR-155 in dendritic cells also significantly reduced EAE disease score, with both T cell and dendritic cell-specific knockouts showing a reduction in Th17 T cell infiltration into the CNS. Although miR-155 is highly expressed in infiltrating macrophages during EAE, deletion of miR-155 using LysM cre did not affect disease severity. Taken together, these data show that while miR-155 is highly expressed in most infiltrating immune cells, miR-155 has distinct roles and requirements depending on the cell type. This provides insights into which functionally relevant cell types should be targeted by the next generation of miRNA therapeutics.

Project description:How the complex interaction between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and the host is regulated during infection is still not well understood. Using a systems biology approach, we demonstrate here that miR-155 is one of several microRNAs that regulate host gene expression over the first 48 hours of Mtb infection in macrophages. miR-155 regulates the cell survival of Mtb-infected macrophages through SHIP1/AKT signaling. Using timecourse gene expression data, we constructed a miRNA regulatory network for the innate immune response to Mtb infection by WT macrophages. The network suggested a role for seven miRNAs in regulating the host response to Mtb, with miR-155 being one of them. We then validated a role for miR-155 by comparing the response between WT and miR-155-/- macrophages.

Project description:Classically activated (M1) macrophages protect from infection but can cause inflammatory disease and tissue damage while alternatively activated (M2) macrophages reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Modulation of macrophage phenotype may be therapeutically beneficial and requires further understanding of the molecular programs that control macrophage differentiation. A potential mechanism by which macrophages differentiate may be through microRNA (miRNA), which bind to messenger RNA and post-transcriptionally modify gene expression, cell phenotype and function. The inflammation-associated miRNA, miR-155, was rapidly up-regulated over 100-fold in M1, but not M2, macrophages. Inflammatory M1 genes and proteins iNOS, IL-1b and TNF-a were reduced up to 72% in miR-155 knockout mouse macrophages, but miR-155 deficiency did not affect expression of genes associated with M2 macrophages (e.g., Arginase-1). Additionally, a miR-155 oligonucleotide inhibitor efficiently suppressed iNOS and TNF-a gene expression in wild-type M1 macrophages. Comparative transcriptional profiling of unactivated (M0) and M1 macrophages derived from wild-type and miR-155 knockout (KO) mice revealed an M1 signature of approximately 1300 genes, half of which were dependent on miR-155. Real-Time PCR of independent datasets validated miR-155's contribution to induction of iNOS, IL-1b, TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-12, as well as suppression of miR-155 targets Inpp5d, Tspan14, Ptprj and Mafb. Overall, these data indicate that miR-155 plays an essential role in driving the differentiation and effector potential of inflammatory M1 macrophages.

Total RNA was prepared from bone marrow-derived macrophages of miR-155 knockout mice (n=2 independent mice) treated in M0, M1 or M2 conditions (n=2 replicates per condition originating from different mice)

Project description:MYC regulates the expression of multiple microRNA (miRNA) genes and defines the Burkitt lymphoma (BL) miRNA signature. Here, we investigate the role of the MYC-regulated miRNAs by gain- and loss-of-function analysis. Overexpression of 5 miRNAs that were significantly downregulated by MYC resulted in strong (miR-150, miR-26a, miR-26b) and mild (miR-29a, let-7a) impaired cell growth. Overexpression of miR-155 increased proliferation of BL cells. By RNA immunoprecipitation of Argonaute 2 in BL cells with and without miR-155 we identified 54 miR-155 target genes. Using an shRNA approach we identified TBRG1 (NIAM1) as a miR-155 target gene that copied the miR-155-induced phenotype upon its inhibition. Analysis of TBRG1 protein expression and miR-155 levels in primary cases of B-cell lymphoma revealed that miR-155 levels are significantly lower in TBRG1 positive cases suggesting that TBRG1 is also regulated by miR-155 in primary B-cell lymphoma. Our data demonstrate that overexpression of individual MYC-repressed miRNAs has a strong suppressive effect on BL cell growth, whereas overexpression of miR-155 enhances B-cell lymphoma growth by targeting the tumor suppressor gene TBRG1. Gene expression profile was performed in ST486 Burkitt lymphoma cell line in 4 samples: ST486 EV (empty MXW-PGK-IRES-GFP vector) total cell lysate, ST486 EV Ago2-IP, ST486 miR-155 (ST486 with ectopic miR-155) total cell lysate, ST486 miR-155 Ago2-IP.

Project description:Numerous microRNAs and their target mRNAs are co-expressed across diverse cell types. However, it is unknown whether they are regulated in a cellular context-independent or -dependent manner. Here, we explored transcriptome-wide targeting and gene regulation by miR-155, whose activation-induced expression plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Through mapping of miR-155 targets using differential Argonaute iCLIP, mRNA quantification with RNA-Seq, and 3’UTR usage analysis using polyadenylation (polyA)-Seq in activated miR-155-sufficient and deficient macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, we identified numerous targets differentially bound by miR-155. While alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) contributed to differential miR-155 binding to some transcripts, in a majority of cases identical 3’UTR isoforms were differentially regulated across cell types, suggesting ApA-independent and cellular context-dependent miR-155-mediated gene regulation reminiscent of sequence-specific transcription factors. Our study provides comprehensive maps of miR-155 regulatory RNA networks and offers a valuable resource for dissecting context-dependent and -independent miRNA-mediated gene regulation in key cell types of the adaptive and innate immune systems.
