Popis: | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to circulate in the blood in a highly stable and cell-free form. Dysregulated expression of miRNAs has been detected in various pathological conditions including atopic dermatitis. In our study, human blood plasma miRNAs were identified by high-throughput sequencing and compared among patients of atopic dermatitis and healthy controls. We found that miR-151a was differentially expressed in the plasma of atopic dermatitis patients. MiR-151a regulates the expression of IL12RB2 by targeting two loci in the 3' untranslated region of the Il12rb2 gene. Moreover, IL12RB2 was remarkably downregulated in Jurkat cells overexpressing miR-151a. Jurkat cells treated with phytohemagglutinin also showed reduced expression of IFN-γ, interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-12. Together, these results suggest that miR-151a is involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis by regulating IL12RB2. |
