The miR-17∼92 family microRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in germinal center (GC) reaction through promoting T follicular helper (T) cell differentiation. It remains unclear whether they also have intrinsic functions in B cell differentiation and function. Here we show that mice with B cell-specific deletion of the miR-17∼92 family exhibit impaired GC reaction, plasma cell differentiation, and antibody production in response to protein antigen immunization and chronic viral infection. Employing CRISPR-mediated functional screening, we identify as a key functional target of miR-17∼92 in regulating plasma cell differentiation. Mechanistically, SOCS3, whose expression is elevated in miR-17∼92 family-deficient B cells, interacts with NIK and promotes its ubiquitination and degradation, thereby impairing NF-κB signaling and plasma cell differentiation. This moderate increase in SOCS3 expression has little effect on IL-21-STAT3 signaling. Our study demonstrates differential sensitivity of two key signaling pathways to alterations in the protein level of an miRNA target gene.

miR-17∼92 miRNA通过抑制SOCS3介导的NIK降解促进浆细胞分化
miR-17∼92 家族 microRNA (miRNA) 通过促进滤泡辅助 (T) 细胞分化,在生发中心 (GC) 反应中发挥关键作用。目前尚不清楚它们是否在 B 细胞分化和功能中也具有内在功能。在这里,我们发现,B 细胞特异性删除 miR-17∼92 家族的小鼠在蛋白质抗原免疫和慢性病毒感染时表现出 GC 反应、浆细胞分化和抗体产生受损。采用 CRISPR 介导的功能筛选,我们确定了 miR-17∼92 是调节浆细胞分化的关键功能靶点。从机制上讲,SOCS3在miR-17∼92家族缺陷的B细胞中表达升高,与NIK相互作用并促进其泛素化和降解,从而损害NF-κB信号传导和浆细胞分化。 SOCS3 表达的适度增加对 IL-21-STAT3 信号传导影响很小。我们的研究证明了两个关键信号通路对 miRNA 靶基因蛋白质水平变化的不同敏感性。
