Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification of pre-mRNA catalysed by an RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR). A-to-I RNA editing has been previously reported in the pre-mRNAs of brain glutamate and serotonin receptors and in lung tissue during inflammation. Here we report that systemic inflammation markedly induces inosine-containing mRNA to approximately 5% of adenosine in total mRNA. Induction was the result of up-regulation of A-to-I RNA editing as both dsRNA editing activity and ADAR1 expression were increased in the spleen, thymus and peripheral lymphocytes from endotoxin-treated mice. Up-regulation of ADAR1 was confirmed in vitro in T lymphocytes and macrophages stimulated with a variety of inflammatory mediators including tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma. A late induction of RNA editing was detected in concanavalin A-activated splenocytes stimulated with interleukin-2 in vitro. Taken together, these data suggest that a large number of inosine-containing mRNAs are produced during acute inflammation via up-regulation of ADAR1-mediated RNA editing. These events may affect the inflammatory and immune response through modulation of protein production.
