Abstract

ABSTRACTMiRNA repertoire of T cells undergoes extensive changes in response to activation. Whereas global miRNA downregulation occurs few hours after activation, some individual miRNAs are specifically up- or down-regulated. In this study, we have assessed miRNA expression and post-transcriptional modification kinetics in human primary CD4+ T cells upon short-term stimulation with αCD3αCD28 or IFN I using Next Generation Sequencing. Multiple miRNAs not related before with T cell activation profile have been identified as differentially expressed. Downregulated miRNAs presented higher 3’ uridylation. Dis3L2 and Eri1 (3’ to 5’ exoribonucleases that prefer uridylated RNA as substrates) increased their expression upon TCR stimulation, probably generating an adverse environment for miRNAs. Remarkably, non-templated cytosine additions to 3’ end, previously unknown to be a relevant post-transcriptional modification mechanism, were overrepresented in upregulated miRNAs, together with high levels of adenylation. In the midst of an increasing presence of exoribonucleases, miRNAs multiplying their levels may successfully escape degradation due to 3’ cytosine and adenine addition. These protective signals open a new avenue to improve miRNA stability for therapy in T cells.
