MicroRNA-155 and MicroRNA-21 Promote the Expansion of Functional Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

MicroRNA-155 and MicroRNA-21 promote the expansion of functional myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are one of the main cell populations that negatively regulate immune responses. However, the mechanism underlying the expansion of MDSC remains unclear. Using miRNA microarray and TaqMan probe-based quantitative RT-PCR assay, we identified microRNA (miR)-155 and miR-21 as the two most upregulated miRNAs during the induction of MDSC from the bone marrow ce...

MicroRNA-155 regulates tumor myeloid-derived suppressive cells

MicroRNA is small non-coding RNA and can lead to translational repression or target degradation by base-pairing with complementary sequences of mRNA molecules. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155), one of the most studied microRNA, is the first one to be reported as oncogenic [1]. miR-155 is over expressed in a long list of both hematological and solid tumors and is of paramount importance in cancer diagnosi...

γδT17 cells promote the accumulation and expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in human colorectal cancer.

Development of cancer has been linked to chronic inflammation, particularly via interleukin-23 (IL-23) and IL-17 signaling pathways. However, the cellular source of IL-17 and underlying mechanisms by which IL-17-producing cells promote human colorectal cancer (CRC) remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that innate γδT (γδT17) cells are the major cellular source of IL-17 in human CRC. Micr...

Cells via Targeting Runx1 and Function of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor MicroRNA-9 Regulates the Differentiation

The role of microRNA in acute/chronic, myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
