MicroRNA-99b Regulates Bacillus Calmette-Guerin-Infected Immature Dendritic Cell-Induced CD4+ T Cell Differentiation by Targeting mTOR Signaling.
This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which microRNA-99b (miR-99b) regulates CD4+ T cell differentiation induced by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-infected immature dendritic cells (imDCs). Levels of miR-99b, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), Foxp3, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, IL-23, and ROR-γt were assessed. Effects of miR-99b inhibition and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) agonist on Th17/Treg cell ratio and cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-17, IL-23) were studied. Expression of mTOR, S6K1, and 4E-BP1 related to miR-99b was analyzed. BCG-infected imDCs led to CD4+ T cell differentiation and altered levels of IFN-γ, Foxp3, IL-10, miR-99b, IL-17, IL-23, and ROR-γt. Inhibition of miR-99b increased the Th17/Treg cell ratio in CD4+ T cells co-cultured with BCG-infected imDCs, and this effect was further enhanced by the mTOR agonist. Additionally, the miR-99b inhibitor elevated the levels of IL-6, IL-17, and IL-23 when CD4+ T cells were co-cultured with BCG-infected imDCs, and the mTOR agonist further amplified this increase. Notably, miR-99b negatively regulated mTOR signaling, as the miR-99b inhibitor upregulated the expression levels of mTOR, S6K1, and 4E-BP1 while decreasing miR-99b. It was concluded that miR-99b modulates CD4+ T cell differentiation via mTOR pathway in response to BCG-infected im-DCs. Inhibiting miR-99b affects Th17/Treg ratio and pro-inflammatory cytokines, potentially impacting tuberculosis immunotherapies.
