MiRNA let-7e modulates the Wnt pathway and early nephrogenic markers in mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation.


ABSTRACT: This study indicates that embryonic stem cells [ESCs] cultured with retinoic acid and activin A significantly upregulate the miRNA let-7e. This specific miRNA modulates the Wnt pathway and the expression of early nephrogenic markers under these differentiation conditions. The differentiation markers WT1, Pax2 and Wnt4 were downregulated when miRNA let-7e was silenced, thus indicating the role of miRNA let-7e in the differentiation process. PKC?, GSK3? phosphorylation (GSK3?(P)) and ?-catenin expression was reduced in differentiated cells and reversed by miRNA let-7e silencing. Addition of a PKC? inhibitor to the miRNA let-7e silenced cells abolished let-7e-derived effects in differentiation markers, and reversed the increase in GSK3?(P) and ?-catenin, thus indicating that miRNA let-7e is involved in differentiation via the modulation of GSK3? phosphorylation and ?-catenin production.
