This study sought to elucidate the effect and the underlying target of miR-29c-3p in ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods: The levels of miR-29c-3p and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) were measured in inflamed lesions of UC patients and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. MiR-29c-3p was predicted to target LIF by bioinformatics software, which was verified via luciferase reporter assay and transfection of miR-29c-3p mimics or inhibitor. The role of miR-29c-3p/LIF axis in intestinal inflammation was explored in experimental colitis mice and Caco-2 cells.Results: MiR-29c-3p was markedly downregulated while LIF was upregulated in colon tissues of UC patients and DSS-challenged colitis mice as well as in primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and LPS-treated Caco-2 cells. MiR-29c-3p inhibited LIF expression at the transcriptional level via binding to LIF 3ʹ-untranslated region (UTR) in Caco-2 cells. Targeting miR-29c-3p/LIF axis regulated inflammatory cytokines production, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-29c-3p aggravated mice experimental colitis via suppressing LIF.Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that the upregulation of miR-29c-3p promotes gut inflammation and the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators via suppressing LIF, thereby modulating the pathogenesis of UC.Keywords: ulcerative colitis, microRNA-29c-3p, leukemia inhibitory factor, inflammation, apoptosisGuo JZhang RZhao YWang JDove Medical Pressarticleulcerative colitismicrorna-29c-3pleukemia inhibitory factorinflammationapoptosisPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
