LncRNA HOTAIRM1 promotes MDSC expansion and suppressive functions through the HOXA1-miR124 axis during HCV infection

Abstract HOXA transcript antisense RNA myeloid-specific 1 (HOTAIRM1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that plays a pivotal role in regulating myeloid cell development via targeting HOXA1 gene expression. We and others have previously shown that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), a heterogene...

In this study, we demonstrate that the expressions of HOTAIRM1 and its target HOXA1 are substantially upregulated to promote the expressions of immunosuppressive molecules, including arginase 1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, and reactive oxygen species, in CD33+ myeloid cells derived from hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients.
