Abstract

Background: Growing evidence from studies elsewhere have illustrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in polymyositis and dermatomyositis (PM/DM). However, little has been reported on their relationship with regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha (REG3A) as well as their associative roles in macrophage migration. Therefore, this study sought to establish the association between miR-146a and REG3A as well as investigate their functional roles in macrophage migration and PM/DM pathogenesis. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from PM/DM patients and healthy controls through density centrifugation. Macrophages were obtained from monocytes purified from PBMCs via differentiation before their transfection with miRNA or plasmids to investigate cell migration with transwell assay. An experimental autoimmune myositis murine model was used to investigate PM/DM. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were conducted to determine the expression levels of miR-146a, interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-17A, and REG3A. Results: The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression level of miR-146a markedly decreased, while the mRNA level of REG3A, IFN-γ, and IL-17A expression increased substantially in PBMC...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
