Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study demonstrated that miR103a-3p was highly expressed in exosomes released by mast cells. These exosomes reduced the expression levels of PRMT5 in group 2 innate lymphoid cells and skewed methylated GATA3 to demethylated GATA3 in ILC2, leading to enhancement of IL-5 produciton, contributing to eosinophilia, from ILC2. Together, these might suggest that miR103a-3p in exosoomes from mast cells contributed to the exacerbation of eosinophil-mediated allergic inflammation.
