Role of miR-15/16 in CLL.

ABSTRACT: B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia. The most common chromosomal abnormalities detectable by cytogenetics include deletion at 13q (55%), 11q (18%), trisomy 12 (12-16%) and 17p (8%). In 2002, we discovered that a microRNA cluster miR-15a/miR-16-1 (miR-15/16) is the target of 13q deletions in CLL. MicroRNAs encoded by the miR-15/16 locus (miR-15 and miR-16) function as tumor suppressors. Expression of these miRNAs downregulated in CLL, melanoma, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer and other solid tumors. miR-15/16 cluster targets multiple oncogenes, including BCL2, Cyclin D1, MCL1 and others. The most important target of miR-15/16 in CLL is arguably BCL2, as BCL2 is overexpressed in almost all CLLs. In this review, we discuss the discovery, functions, clinical relevance and treatment opportunities related to miR-15/16.

An essential role for miR-15/16 in Treg suppression and restriction of proliferation

Project description:The miR-15/16 family is a highly expressed group of tumor suppressor miRNAs that target a large network of genes in T cells to restrict their cell cycle, memory formation and survival. Upon T cell activation, miR-15/16 are downregulated, allowing rapid expansion of differentiated effector T cells to mediate a sustained immune response. Here, using conditional deletion of miR-15/16 in immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express FOXP3, we identify new functions of the miR-15/16 family in T cell immunity. miR-15/16 are indispensable to maintain peripheral tolerance by securing efficient suppression by a limited number of Tregs. miR-15/16-deficiency alters Treg expression of critical functional proteins including FOXP3, IL2Rα/CD25, CTLA4, PD-1 and IL7Rα/CD127, and results in accumulation of functionally impaired FOXP3loCD25loCD127hi Tregs. Excessive proliferation in the absence of miR-15/16 inhibition of cell cycle programs shifts Treg diversity and produces an effector Treg phenotype characterized by low expression of TCF1, CD25 and CD62L, and high expression of CD44. These Tregs fail to control immune activation of CD4+ effector T cells, leading to spontaneous multi-organ inflammation and increased allergic airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Together, our results demonstrate that miR-15/16 expression in Tregs is essential to maintain immune tolerance.

miR-15/16 clusters restrict effector Treg cell differentiation and function

Project description:Effector regulatory T cells (eTregs) exhibit distinct homeostatic properties and superior suppressor capacities pivotal for controlling immune responses mediated by their conventional T cell counterpart. While the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Tregs has been well-established, how miRNAs regulate eTregs remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that miR-15/16 clusters act as key regulators in limiting eTreg responses. Loss of miR-15/16 clusters leads to increased eTreg frequencies with enhanced suppressor function. Consequently, mice with Treg-specific ablation of miR-15/16 clusters display attenuated immune responses during neuroinflammation and upon both infectious and non-infectious challenges. Mechanistically, miR-15/16 clusters exert their regulatory effect in part through repressing IRF4, a transcription factor essential for eTreg differentiation and function. Moreover, miR-15/16 clusters also directly target neuritin, an IRF4-dependent molecule, known for its role in Treg-mediated regulation of plasma cell responses. Together, we identify an miRNA family that controls an important Treg subset and further demonstrate that eTreg responses are tightly regulated at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels.

miR-15/16 restrain cell cycle and memory T cell accumulation

Project description:Coordinate control of T cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation are essential for host protection from pathogens and cancer. Long-lived memory cells, whose precursors are formed during the initial immunological insult, provide protection in future encounters and their generation is the goal of many vaccination strategies. microRNAs are key nodes in regulatory networks that shape effective T cell responses through the fine-tuning of thousands of genes. Here, using new compound conditional mutant mice to eliminate miR-15/16 family miRNAs in T cells, we show that miR-15/16 restrict T cell cycle and memory T cell accumulation. High throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by cross-linking immunoprecipitation of AGO2 combined with gene expression analysis in miR-15/16 deficient T cells indicated that these effects are mediated through direct inhibition of an extensive network of known and novel target genes within pathways critical to cell cycle and memory.
