ABSTRACT
A microRNA miR-200c-3p is a regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition to control adhesion and migration of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. However, little is known about whether miR-200c-3p affects lymphocyte adhesion and migration mediated by integrins. Using TK-1 (a T lymphoblast cell) as a model of T cell, here we show that repressed expression of miR-200c-3p upregulated α4 integrin-mediated adhesion to and migration across mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1). Conversely, overexpression of miR-200c-3p downregulated α4 integrin-mediated adhesion and migration. Unlike in epithelial cells, miR-200c-3p did not target talin, a conformation activator of integrin, but, targeted E26-transformation-specific sequence 1 (ETS1), a transcriptional activator of α4 integrin, in T cells. Treatment of the miR-200c-3p-low-expressing TK-1 cells that possessed elevated α4 integrin with ETS1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) resulted in the reversion of the α4 integrin expression, supporting that ETS1 is a target of miR-200c-3p. A potential proinflammatory immune-modulator retinoic acid (RA) treatment of TK-1 cells elicited a significant reduction of miR-200c-3p and simultaneously a marked increase in ETS1 and α4 integrin expression. An anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-ß1 treatment elevated miR-200c-3p, thereby downregulating ETS1 and α4 integrin expression. These results suggest that miR-200c-3p is an important regulator of α4 integrin expression and functions and may be controlled by RA and TGF-ß1 in an opposite way. Overexpression of miR-200c-3p could be a novel therapeutic option for treatment of gut inflammation through suppressing α4 integrin-mediated T cell migration.
