ABSTRACT: The objective of the study is to evaluate the protective effects of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) modified with miR-138-5p inhibitor against the allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (ARAS). MiR-138-5p or negative control was transfected into hMSCs, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to evaluate hMSC surface markers. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate miR-138-5p, SIRT1, caspase-3, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels after TNF-α and IL-6 stimulations. hMSCs with or without miR-138-5p inhibition was intranasally administered into ARAS mice (n = 10 each group), followed by monitoring sneezing and nasal rubbing events to evaluate the allergic symptoms. Histamine, ovalbumin-specific IgE, IgG2a, IgG1 and LTC4 release were monitored in the serum and nasal lavage fluid using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of SIRT1 and HMGB1/TLR4 pathway in nasal mucosa was assessed. After miR-138-5p inhibitor transfection, the hMSC lineage was preserved. Binding between SIRT1 and miR-138-4p was observed, and miR-138-5p inhibition led to upregulation of SIRT1. Inhibition of miR-138-5p led to attenuated inflammatory responses of hMSCs upon TNF-α and IL-6 stimulation, and allergic symptoms in mice, as well as histamine and ovalbumin-specific IgG release. hMSCs with miR-138-5p inhibition showed characteristics of activated SIRT1 and inhibited HMGB1/TLR4 pathway. Inhibition of miR-138-5p in hMSCs enhanced its effects in attenuating inflammatory responses and allergic reaction in the ARAS model, which is presumably regulated by SIRT1 and the HMGB1/TLR4 pathway.
