Abstract

Significance: Immune cell activation is accompanied by dynamic changes in expression of genes related to inflammation. Concomitantly, immune reactions are tightly controlled to prevent harmful pathologies due to sustained inflammation. Gene expression is controlled at multiple checkpoints. Among these, the post-transcriptional regulation of the balance between Arid5a and Regnase-1 is important for the induction of inflammation. Our findings provide important insight into the role of the regulation of nucleocytoplasmic localization of Arid5a in the development of inflammation through the induction of a change in the ratio of Arid5a to Regnase-1.

(A–C) qRT-PCR analysis of Arid5a (A), Il6 (B), and Tnf (C) mRNAs in peritoneal macrophages, normalized to the expression of GAPDH. (D and E) Serum levels of IL-6 (D) and TNF (E) in WT and Arid5a TG mice were measured by ELISA. Data show the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between WT and TG values. **P < 0.01, Student’s t test. N.D., not detected.

Fig. 2. Arid5a TG mice were more sensitive to endotoxic shock than WT mice. (A) The 6- to 8-wk-old WT (n = 10) and Arid5a TG mice (n = 10) were injected with E. coli LPS (12.5 mg/kg), and survival was monitored for 96 h. (B and C) WT and Arid5a TG mice (6–8 wk old) were injected with LPS (5 mg/kg). Serum levels of IL-6 (B) or TNF (C) measured by ELISA at the indicated time points after LPS challenge. Data are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between WT and TG values (*P < 0.05, Student’s t test).

Fig. 6. Model of inflammatory response by Arid5a/Regnase-1/UPF1. Regnase-1 localizes to the cytoplasm. Arid5a is imported via an importin-α/β1 pathway. UPF1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In response to inflammation, the Toll-like receptor (TLR) is activated by LPS, and Il6 mRNA is induced by NF-κB. After that, Arid5a interacts with Il6 mRNA. Arid5a is exported to the cytoplasm via CRM1 pathway with UPF1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
