MiRNAs are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. MiRNA
expression is a crucial part of host responses to bacterial infection, however
there is limited knowledge of their impact on the outcome of infections. We
investigated the influence of miR-21 on macrophage responses during infection
with Listeria monocytogenes, which establishes an intracellular niche within
macrophages. MiR-21 is induced following infection of bone marrow-derived
macrophages (BMDMs) with Listeria. MiR-21(-/-) macrophages display an increased
bacterial burden with Listeria at 30 min and 2 h post-infection. This phenotype
was reversed by the addition of synthetic miR-21 mimics to the system. To assess
the immune response of wildtype (WT) and miR-21(-/-) macrophages, BMDMs were
treated with bacterial LPS or infected with Listeria. There was no difference in
IL-10 and IL-6 between WT and miR-21(-/-) BMDMs in response to LPS or Listeria.
TNF-? was increased in miR-21(-/-) BMDMs stimulated with LPS or Listeria compared
to WT macrophages. We next assessed the production of nitric oxide (NO), a key
bactericidal factor in Listeria infection. There was no significant difference in
NO production between WT and miR-21(-/-) cells, indicating that the increased
bacterial burden may not be due to impaired killing. As the increased bacterial
load was observed early following infection (30 min), we questioned whether this
is due to differences in uptake of Listeria by WT and miR-21(-/-) macrophages. We
show that miR-21-deficiency enhances uptake of FITC-dextran and FITC-Escherichia
coli bioparticles by macrophages. The previously observed Listeria burden
phenotype was ablated by pre-treatment of cells with the actin polymerization
inhibitor cytochalasin-D. From analysis of miR-21 targets, we selected the
pro-phagocytic regulators myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS)
and Ras homolog gene family, member B (RhoB) for further investigation. MARCKS
and RhoB are increased in miR-21(-/-) BMDMs, correlating with increased uptake of
Listeria. Finally, intra-peritoneal infection of mice with Listeria led to
increased bacterial burden in livers of miR-21(-/-) mice compared to WT mice.
These findings suggest a possible role for miR-21 in regulation of phagocytosis
during infection, potentially by repression of MARCKS and RhoB, thus serving to
limit the availability of the intracellular niche of pathogens like L.
monocytogenes.
