MicroRNA-223 suppresses inflammation by down regulating NF-kB activation in epithelial cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: MicroRNA-223, a principal myeloid-specific anti-inflammatory microRNA, is dysregulated in numerous inflammatory conditions and cancers. We found that miR-223 deficient zebrafish displayed augmented neutrophilic inflammation, which was due primarily to elevated activation of the canonical NF-B pathway. To our surprise, the NF-B over-activation was restricted to the basal epithelial cells, a squamous layer permeable to oxygen and chemicals. MiR-223 was expressed in epithelial cells and directly down-regulated multiple components in the NF-B signaling pathway in zebrafish and human. Both phagocytic and epithelial miR-223 suppressed neutrophil wound response and NF-B activation in the basal epithelial cells. Together, our data provide the mechanism of the multifaceted role of miR-223 and highlight the previously overlooked relevance of epithelial cells in miR-223 related diseases.
