Abstract: Macrophages, an important type of immune cells, are generally polarized to classically activated macrophage (M1) or alternatively activated macrophage (M2) to respond to environmental stimuli. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), a very important transcription factor, can promote M1 macrophage polarization. However, the mechanisms of regulating STAT1 in macrophage polarization remain unclear. In the present study, STAT1 was markedly elevated, however, miR-19a-3p was down-regulated in interferon (IFN)-γ and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated RAW264.7 cells, and dual-luciferase reporter assay identified that miR-19a-3p directly targeted STAT1 by binding to its 3′UTR. Up-regulated miR-19a-3p inhibited M1 polarization by targeting STAT1/interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) and vice versa in vitro . Consistently, overexpression of miR-19a-3p in LPS treated mice by systemically administering agomiR-19a-3p effectively reduced the inflammation in mouse lung tissues, and inhibited M1 macrophage polarization via suppressing STAT1/IRF1 pathway. In summary, our study confirmed that miR-19a-3p, as a direct regulator of STAT1, inhibited M1 macrophages polarization. The miR-19a-3p/STAT1/IRF1 pathway can potentially be used to design novel immunotherapy for modulating macrophage polarization.
