Abstract:
The inflammatory response, a protective process to clear detrimental stimuli, constitutes the defense against infectious pathogens. However, excessive inflammation disrupts immune homeostasis, which may induce autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we report that microRNA (miR)-3570 plays a negative role in the bacteria-induced inflammatory response of miiuy croaker. Upregulation of miR-3570 by Vibrio anguillarum and LPS inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine production, thus avoiding an excessive inflammation response. Evidence showed that miR-3570 targets MyD88 and posttranscriptionally downregulates its expression. Overexpression of miR-3570 in macrophages suppresses the expression of MyD88, as well as its downstream signaling of IL-1R-associated kinases 1 and 4 and TNFR-associated factor 6. These results suggest that miR-3570 plays a regulatory in the bacteria-induced inflammatory response through the MyD88-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting MyD88.
