BackgroundRetinoic acid-inducible gene-I (Rig-I) is an intracellular viral RNA receptor, which specifically recognizes double-stranded viral RNA initiating antiviral innate immunity. Increasing evidences showed that Rig-I had broader roles in antibacterial immunity and cancer protection. However, the potential roles and mechanisms of Rig-I in gut flora regulation and colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remain unclear.MethodsImmunohistochemistry was performed to detect Rig-I protein in 38 pairs of CRC tissue and matched adjacent mucosa, and immunofluorescence and western blot were also used to detect Rig-I protein expression in AOM/DSS-induced mice CRC samples. High-throughput sequencing was conducted to evaluate gut microbiota changes inRig-I-deficient mice. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were used to detect IgA expression. Additionally, real-time quantitative PCR was performed to detect RNA expression in mouse intestines and cultured cells, and western blot was used to detect phosphorylation of STAT3 in IL-6-stimulated B cell line.ResultsRig-I was downregulated in human and mouse CRC samples andRig-I-deficient mice were more susceptible to AOM/DSS-induced colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Furthermore,Rig-I-deficient mice displayed gut microbiota disturbance compared to wild type mice. IgA, Reg3γ and Pdcd1 levels were decreased in intestines ofRig-I-deficient mice. Phosphorylation of STAT3 in IL-6-stimulated 1B4B6 was decreased.ConclusionRig-I could regulate gut microbiota through regulating IgA and IL6-STAT3-dependent Reg3γ expression. Besides, Rig-I could inhibit CRC progression.
