Analysis of High Molecular Weight RNA-induced silencing complex (HMW-RISC) in CD8+ T cells identifies miR-7 as a modulator of T cell activation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To identify the miRNAs expected to be potent in suppressing targets, we followed HMW RISC formation upon activation of CD8+ T cells. We show that while most miRNAs distribute between HMW and LMW RISC in activated T cells, several miRNAs were dominant in one complex over the other. Among these, miR-7 is enriched in HMW RISC and inhibition of miR-7 upon T cell activation leads to increased production of IL-2 and expression of IL-2-regulated proteins including the α-subunit of the IL-2 receptor, CD25; transferrin receptor, CD71; and amino acid transporter, CD98, which are direct miR-7 targets. Our data support a model where recruitment of miR-7 to HMW RISC restrains IL-2 signalling and the metabolic processes regulated by IL-2 and thus modulates T cell activation.
