Association between the Cytosine Hydroxymethylation and the Expression of microRNA in Multiple Sclerosis in Polish Population
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disorder with an unclear etiology. A key role is thought to be played by Th17 cells and microRNAs associated with Th17, such as miR-155, miR-326 and miR-223. The present study compared the methylation and hydroxymethylation levels of CpG sites within pro...

description | Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disorder with an unclear etiology. A key role is thought to be played by Th17 cells and microRNAs associated with Th17, such as miR-155, miR-326 and miR-223. The present study compared the methylation and hydroxymethylation levels of CpG sites within promoters of these microRNA between MS patients and controls using PBMCs and analyzed their relationship with microRNA expression. Significant intergroup differences were found between the levels of 5-hmC within the CpG-1 miR-155 promoter and CpG within the miR-326 promoter; in addition, miR-155-5p and miR-223-3p expression was elevated in MS patients. Correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between the level of 5-hmC of CpG-2 in the miR-223 promoter and miR-223-3p level. As it is possible to pharmacologically modulate the level of epigenetic modifications, our findings cast light on the etiology of MS and support the development of more effective therapies. |
