The effect of the Autoimmune regulator (Aire) gene on microRNA transcriptional profile of 3.10 mTEC cell line
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) contribute to self-tolerance through the ectopic expression of peripheral tissue antigens (PTAs) in the thymus. Autoimmune regulator (Aire) is to date the best characterized transcriptional regulator known to at least partially coordinate PTA expression in mTECs. Furthermore the expression of Aire-dependent and -independent genes is also modulated by microRNAs. Given the transcriptional regulation exerted by Aire in mTEC cells and the role of miRNAs in post-transcriptional control, we used a Mus musculus mTEC cell line (3.10) which constitutively express Aire in culture) to knockdown Aire gene by means of siRNA transfection and then observe the effect of Aire knockdown in the transcriptional profile of miRNAs by means of oligomicroarrays. The Agilent oligomicroarrays were used to determine the large scale the miRNA transcriptional profiles of control or Aire-knockdown 3.10 mTECs.
