Activation of TLR3 and its adaptor TICAM-1 increases miR-21 levels in extracellular vesicles released from human cells.
Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) recognizes viral RNAs and trigger the innate immune responses. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), a PRR, recognizes viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in endolysosomes, whereas cytoplasmic dsRNA is sensed by another PRR, MDA5. TLR3 and MDA5 utilize TICAM-1 and MAVS, respectively, to trigger the signal for inducing innate immune responses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) include the exosomes and microvesicles; an accumulating body of evidence has shown that EVs delivers functional RNA, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), to other cells and thus mediate intercellular communications. Therefore, EVs carrying miRNAs affect innate immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of miRNA levels in EVs remains unclear. To elucidate the mechanism, we sought to reveal the pathway that control miRNA expression levels in EVs. Here, we found that TLR3 stimulation increased miR-21 levels in EVs released from various types of human cells. Ectopic expression of the TLR3 adaptor, TICAM-1, increased miR-21 levels in EVs but not intracellular miR-21 levels, suggesting that TICAM-1 augmented sorting of miR-21 to EVs. In contrast, the MDA5 adaptor, MAVS, did not increase miR-21 levels in EVs. The siRNA for TICAM-1 reduced EV miR-21 levels after stimulation of TLR3. Collectively, our data indicate a novel role of the TLR3-TICAM-1 pathway in controlling miR-21 levels in EVs.
