ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The differences in the expression profiles of colonic miRNAs between ß-lactoglobulin (ß-Lg) allergic mice and normal mice were analyzed to investigate the important role of the miRNA regulation mechanism in the pathogenesis of cow's milk allergy.METHODS:
The present study performed Illumina sequencing to characterize the miRNA profile changes in mouse colon responding to ß-Lg challenge. Target genes were predicted by TargetScan 50 and miRanda 3.3a algorithms and assessed by GO and KEGG analysis. The expression levels of selected miRNAs and cytokine production were verified by cell transfection and quantitative RT-PCR.RESULTS:
A total of 15 miRNAs were diversely expressed between the colon of the normal and ß-Lg-sensitized mice (Pâ¯<â¯0.05, fold change of >1.50 or <0.67), including six up-regulated miRNAs and nine down-regulated miRNAs, among which seven miRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses further revealed that biological process, protein binding, cytoplasm and the pathways of cancer were significantly enriched, which were closely connected to the allergic inflammation development. Additionally, six key functional interaction pairs in ß-Lg allergy were identified in miRNA prediction algorithms and verified using qRT-PCR.CONCLUSIONS:
We can conclude that our results suggested that the miRNAs regulation network participated in the pathogenesis of cow's milk allergy.Palavras-chave
