Compelling evidence has demonstrated that Th17 cells play an essential role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been confirmed as vital regulators of immune cell differentiation and other functions. However, whether and how lncRNAs influence Th17 cell differentiation and functional behaviors remain largely unclear. Here, we identified that a lncRNA, namely Gm15575, is specifically enriched in Th17 cells and spleen tissues of EAE mice. Functionally, knockdown of Gm15575 in Th17 cells suppressed the secretion of IL17A. Mechanistically, Gm15575 served as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to block the function of miR-686, positively regulating the expression of CCL7, a pro-inflammatory chemokine with high expression in Th17 cells, and Th17 differentiation. Taken together, our study revealed that Gm15575-miR-686 axis promoted the progression of EAE by regulating Th17 differentiation and expression of CCL7 which elucidated the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases at genetic level. Gm15575 can be involved in the course of Th17-related autoimmune diseases.
