    miR-146a deletion results in increased Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 recruitment to Iα promoter. (A) Human and mouse Iα promoters share five SBEs, three of which are identical and conserved in mouse and human. (B) miR-146a –/– and miR-146a +/+ B cells were stimulated with LPS or CD154 plus IL-4, IL-5, TGF-β, anti-δ mAb and RA for 72 h. The recruitment of Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 to the Iα promoter was analyzed by specific ChIP assays. Data are mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, unpaired t -test. (C) Cartoon depicting the increased availability of Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 in miR-146a –/– B cells and increased recruitment of these transcription factors to the IgH locus Iα promoter.

    Techniques:

    Enforced expression of miR-146a in B cells reduces Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 expression and CSR to IgA. B cells isolated from C57BL/6 mice were transduced with pMSCV-PIG-miR-146a retroviral vector expressing GFP and miR-146a or empty pMSCV-PIG retroviral vector that expression GFP, then stimulated with LPS plus IL-4, IL-5, TGF-β, anti-δ mAb and RA and cultured for 96 h. Proportions of surface IgA + B cells, and intracellular AID, Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 levels among the retroviral vector-transduced (B220 + GFP + ) B cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are from one representative of three independent experiments.

    Epigenetic regulation of CSR to IgA by miR-146a. miR-146a targets the 3’UTRs of Smad2 , Smad3 and Smad4 mRNAs to downregulate the expression of Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4, and reduce germline Iα-Cα transcription leading to a decreased CSR to IgA and IgA production. In B cells stimulation by TGF-β, activated Smad proteins lead to miR-146 reduction, which results in enhancement of expression of Smad proteins themselves. This miR-146a/Smad loop can amplify TGF-β-induced Smads promotion of CSR to IgA.
