Arid5a controls IL-6 mRNA stability, which contributes to elevation of IL-6 level in vivo

Abstract excerpt

Posttranscriptional regulation of IL-6 has been largely uncharacterized, with the exception of the ribonuclease Regnase-1, which prevents autoimmunity by destabilizing IL-6 mRNA. Here, we identified AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 5A (Arid5a) as a unique RNA binding protein, which stabilizes IL-6 but not TNF-α mRNA through binding to the 3' untranslated region of IL-6 mRNA. Arid5a was enhanced in...
