PG - 529-544 LID - 10.2147/JAA.S341742 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) comprise a valuable target for immune-modulation in food allergy (FA). Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has immunomodulatory capacities and may influence the outcome of DC antigen presentation. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the implication of MALAT1 in FA remain unclear. METHODS: BALB/c mice were sensitized to ovalbumin in accordance with a model of FA protocol and injected with adenovirus. After modeling, immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the jejunal tissues of FA mice and hematoxylin-eosin staining and toluidine blue staining were performed to detect inflammation and mast cell numbers. Ovalbumin-sensitized mice were monitored for symptoms of diarrhea and rectal temperature. Immature DCs were stimulated by oxidized low density lipoprotein to trigger their maturation. RESULTS: MALAT1 was found highly expressed in mice with FA, and its silencing relieved allergic reactions with reduction in intestinal inflammatory cells and mast cells in FA mice. MALAT1 aggravated symptoms by downregulating zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36). MALAT1 also downregulated ZFP36 expression to promote interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion by DCs and maturation of DCs, with increased serum-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgG1 levels. CONCLUSION: Together, these data suggested that therapeutically blocking MALAT1 in FA could reduce the severity of FA by decreasing secretion of IL-6 by DCs and suppressing the immunomodulation of Tregs.
