Abstrakt: Objective: The micro RNAs (miRNAs) and their target mRNAs are differentially expressed in various immune-mediated cells. Here, we investigated the role of Mir223 and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 ( S1pr1 ) in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Methods: We analyzed miRNA and mRNA profiling data of CD4 + splenic T cells derived from MRL/MpJ- Fas lpr /J mice. We performed 3' untranslated region (UTR) luciferase reporter gene assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We generated the B6- Mir223 -/- Fas lpr/lpr mice and the lupus phenotypes were analyzed.
Results: In CD4 + splenic T cells, we identified upregulation of miR-223-3p and downregulation of the possible target, S1pr1 by RNA sequencing of MRL/MpJ- Fas lpr /J mice. The transfection with miR-223-3p mimic significantly suppressed a luciferase activity in HUVEC treated with a Lentivirus vector containing 3' UTR of S1pr1 . The mRNA levels of S1pr1 were significantly decreased after miR-223-3p overexpression. In B6- Mir223 -/- Fas lpr/lpr mice, the proportion of CD3 + T cells, CD3 + CD4 - CD8 - cells, B cells, plasma cells, and S1PR1 + CD4 + T cells in the spleen was significantly increased compared with that in B6- Mir223 +/+ Fas lpr/lpr mice by flow cytometry. B6- Mir223 -/- Fas lpr/lpr mice demonstrated the elevation of glomerular and renal vascular scores associated with enhanced intraglomerular infiltration of S1PR1 + CD4 + T cells.
Conclusion: Unexpectedly, the deletion of Mir223 exacerbated the lupus phenotypes associated with increased population of S1PR1 + CD4 + T in spleen and the enhanced infiltration of S1PR1 + CD4 + T cells in inflamed kidney tissues, suggesting compensatory role of Mir223 in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis.
