  • 摘要:Abstract Individuals carrying anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are considered at high risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The altered expression of miRNAs contributes to the pathogenesis of RA. We aimed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in the peripheral blood of ACPA-positive individuals with arthralgia at risk of RA compared to healthy controls (HC) and to determine their implications in the preclinical phase of RA. A comprehensive analysis of miRNAs revealed the dysregulation of miR-451 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma from RA-risk individuals. Higher miR-451 expression in PBMC from RA-risk individuals was further validated. Notably, miR-451 was previously shown to regulate CXCL16, a protein involved in RA pathogenesis. The expression of miR-451 in PBMC positively correlated with the CXCL16 mRNA, which could be secondary to the inflammation-induced expression of miR-451. Transfection of monocytes with pre-miR-451 in vitro resulted in the downregulation of CXCL16. Moreover, flow cytometry revealed a lower count of CXCL16-positive monocytes in RA-risk individuals. We propose that the constitutive or inflammation-induced upregulation of miR-451 in PBMC downregulates the expression of CXCL16, reduces the inflammatory milieu and thereby strives to delay the shift from the preclinical phase to the clinical manifestation of RA. This hypothesis warrants further investigation.
