MicroRNA regulation in human CD8+ T cell subsets--cytokine exposure alone drives miR-146a expression.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of the immune system, but their role in CD8+ T cell differentiation is not well explored. Some evidence suggests that signals from cell surface receptors influence the expression of miRNAs in CD8+ T cells, and may have consequent effects on cell phenotype and function. We set out to investigate whether common gamma chain cytokines modulated human CD8+...
