Intracellular Modulation, Extracellular Disposal and Serum Increase of MiR-150 Mark Lymphocyte Activation

Abstract: Activated lymphocytes release nano-sized vesicles (exosomes) containing microRNAs that can be monitored in the bloodstream. We asked whether elicitation of immune responses is followed by release of lymphocyte-specific microRNAs. We found that, upon activation in vitro, human and mouse lymphocytes down-modulate intracellular miR-150 and accumulate it in exosomes. In vivo, miR-150 levels increased significantly in serum of humans immunized with flu vaccines and in mice immunized with ovalbumin, and this increas… Show more

“…Finally, it maybe resulted from the selective package and secretion process of circulating miRNA. Previous reports showed that the expression pattern of some miRNAs in intracellular was contrary to that in extracellular owing to the selective disposal363738.…”

“…In line with these findings, in vivo studies show that miR-150 is released in the external environment after T cell activation, and this may cause an increase of its blood levels during immune system stimulation. 38 Further experiments aimed at clarifying the precise role of miR-150 in human melanoma immunity are warranted.…”

“…It is, therefore, plausible that cellular export serves an auxiliary route to efficient elimination of undesired miRNAs. In line with this, selective exosomal disposal of miR150 was recently proposed as a rapid means to regulate gene expression during lymphocyte activation (43). Thus, a balance of "intracellular active" versus "exocytosis inactive" miRNAs is likely influencing the transcriptome as a whole.…”
