Session Title: Innate Immunity and Rheumatic Disease

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose: MicroRNA 155 (miR155) has been demonstrated to be essential for the development of collagen induced arthritis by controlling the generation of autoreactive T and B cells. However, the contribution of miR155 in innate immune cells is not known.

Methods: We analyzed activation and cytokine production of macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro and in vivo. We analyzed T-cells stimulatory capacity of DCs. We crossed miR155 deficient mice into hTNFtg mice and analyzed arthritis development clinically as well as histologically.

Results: MiR155 deficiency did not alter the expression of costimulatory molecules or MHCII expression after stimulation of macrophages and DCs in vitro and in vivo. We also Facs-sorted DCs after stimulation with LPS in vivo and determined the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-23, IL-6 as well as TNF. We did not detect differences between wt and miR155-/- mice. In addition, the T cell stimulatory capacity of wt and miR155-/- was identical. When we analyzed hTNFtg/ miR155-/- mice compared to wt mice, we did not detect differences in the clinical signs and symptoms of arthritis. Histologically, we even found slightly increased synovial inflammation in hTNFtg/ miR155-/- mice compared to wt mice.

Conclusion: In contrast to the pivotal role of miR155 in autoimmunity requiring the adaptive immune system, the role of miR155 in innate immunity seems to be limited. This is emphasized by the fact that miR155 hardly influences the course of TNF-driven arthritis, which is mainly dependent on components of the innate immune system.
