MicroRNA-204-3p inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokines in familial Mediterranean fever via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ pathway

Objective: We sought to identify the microRNA (miRNA) profile and potential biomarkers in FMF and to clarify their gene targets to elucidate the pathogenesis of FMF.

Methods: We performed an miRNA microarray using serum from FMF patients in attack and in remission. We then examined the expression of miRNAs in macrophages derived from THP-1 cells stimulated with toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. Macrophages derived from THP-1 cells transfected with pre-miRNA were stimulated with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) for the quantification of inflammatory cytokine production. To identify the target genes, we overexpressed their miRNA and performed a complementary DNA microarray. Transfection with reporter construct and the precursor miRNA was performed to confirm the suppression of target mRNA.

Results: We found that miR-204-3p was greatly decreased in the serum from FMF patients in attack. The expression of miR-204-3p was suppressed by LPS stimulation in the macrophages derived from THP-1 cells and the inhibition of miR-204-3p significantly induced the production of TLR4-related cytokines. The bioinformatic analysis showed that miR-204-3p is predicted to target genes implicated in the TLR pathway through the regulation of PI3Kγ signalling. The reporter assay revealed that miR-204-3p directly suppressed the luciferase activity of 3'-UTR of PIK3CG reporter construct. The inhibition of PI3Kγ resulted in decreased amounts of IL-6 and IL-12p40 in monocytes from FMF patients.

Conclusion: These data suggest that serum miR-204-3p has potential as a useful biomarker in FMF patients and that miR-204-3p serves as a suppressor of inflammatory cytokine production in FMF by targeting the PI3Kγ pathway.
