MiRNA array for LPS-activated tnc+/+ and tnc-/- macrophages
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Endogenous molecules generated upon pathogen invasion or tissue damage serve as danger signals that activate host defence, however their precise immunological role remains unclear. Tenascin-C is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is specifically induced upon injury and infection. We have shown that its expression is required to generate an effective immune response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during experimental sepsis in vivo. Tenascin-C enables macrophage translation of pro-inflammatory cytokines upon LPS activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and suppresses the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines. It mediates post-transcriptional control of a specific subset of inflammatory mediators via induction of the microRNA miR-155. Thus tenascin-C plays a key role in regulating the inflammatory axis during pathogenic activation of TLR signaling. The data deposited here include the analysis of miRNA profile of tnc+/+ and tnc-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) following stimulation with LPS for 8 hours.
