Indoles (I3C and DIM)-mediated regulation of microRNAs in DTH model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Our laboratory observed that indoles (I3C and DIM) suppressed the development of delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice. Also, we observed differential regulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 cells in mice treated with I3C or DIM. The aim of this experiment was, therefore, to understand the role of I3C or DIM in the regulation of microRNAs (miRs) in immune cells and generation of Tregs and Th17 cells. We also used FICZ, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand to understand the role of various ligands in the regulation of Tregs and Th17 cells. To this end, we used draining (inguinal) lymph nodes (LNs) of mice (C57BL/6) with DTH and treated with Vehicle (corn oil, VEH) or I3C or DIM or FICZ. In brief, total RNA including miRs from inguinal LNs were isolated using miRNeasy kit and the protocol of the company was followed (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). Next, miR arrays were performed at Johns Hopkins University Microarray and Sequencing Core facility using platform.
