Autoinflammation is the standard mechanism seen in systemic autoinflammatory disease (SAID) patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a candidate miRNA, miR-30e-3p, which was identified in our previous study, on the autoinflammation phenotype seen in SAID patients and to analyze its expression in a larger group of European SAID patients. We examined the potential anti-inflammatory effect of miR-30e-3p, which we had defined as one of the differentially expressed miRNAs in microarray analysis involved in inflammation-related pathways. This study validated our previous microarray results of miR-30e-3p in a cohort involving European SAID patients. We performed cell culture transfection assays for miR-30e-3p. Then, in transfected cells, we analyzed expression levels of pro-inflammatory genes; IL-1β, TNF-α, TGF-β, and MEFV. We also performed functional experiments, caspase-1 activation by fluorometric assay kit, apoptosis assay by flow cytometry, and cell migration assays by wound healing and filter system to understand the possible effect of miR-30e-3p on inflammation. Following these functional assays, 3'UTR luciferase activity assay and western blotting were carried out to identify the target gene of the aforementioned miRNA. MiR-30e-3p was decreased in severe European SAID patients like the Turkish patients. The functional assays associated with inflammation suggested that miR-30e-3p has an anti-inflammatory effect. 3'UTR luciferase activity assay demonstrated that miR-30e-3p directly binds to interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β), one of the critical molecules of inflammatory pathways, and reduces both RNA and protein levels of IL-1β. miR-30e-3p, which has been associated with IL-1β, a principal component of inflammation, might be of potential diagnostic and therapeutic value for SAIDs. KEY MESSAGES: miR-30e-3p, which targets IL-1β, could have a role in the pathogenesis of SAID patients. miR-30e-3p has a role in regulating inflammatory pathways like migration, caspase-1 activation. miR-30e-3p has the potential to be used for future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
