Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an allergic disease characterized as (immunoglobulin E)-mediated type I hypersensitivity disorder. The interleukin-13 (IL-13) signaling pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AR. In the present study, we investigated the regulatory role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA Linc00632 in IL-13-induced inflammatory cytokine and mucus production in nasal epithelial cells (NECs) from AR patients. We evaluated the expression of Linc00632 in nasal tissues from AR patients and in IL-13-treated NECs. We explored the role of Linc00632 in granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), eotaxin, and MUAC5AC production in IL-13-treated NECs. We searched for the potential target of Linc00632. Downregulation of Linc00632 was identified in nasal tissues of AR patients and in IL-13-treated NECs. Linc00632 inhibited IL-13-induced GM-CSF, eotaxin, and MUAC5AC production. Linc00632 targeted miR-498 and negatively regulated its expression. MiR-498 targeted IL1RN and inhibition of miR-498 suppressed IL-13-induced GM-CSF, eotaxin, and MUC5AC expression. The regulation of IL-13-induced dysfunction of NECs by Linc00632 depended on miR-498. Linc00632 inhibited IL-13-induced GM-CSF, eotaxin, and MUAC5AC production in IL-13-treated NECs by targeting miR-498.
