MicroRNA profiles of meningiomas


ABSTRACT: Meningiomas, one of the most common human brain tumors, are derived from arachnoidal cells associated with brain meninges, usually benign and frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2. Here we define a human meningioma-typical miRNA profile and characterize effects of one down-regulated miRNA, miR-200a, on tumor growth. Elevated levels of miR-200a inhibited meningioma cell growth in culture and in a tumor model in vivo. Up-regulation of miR-200a decreased expression of transcription factors, ZEB1 and SIP1, with consequently increased expression of E-cadherin, an adhesion protein associated with cell differentiation. Down-regulation of miR-200a in meningiomas and arachnoidal cells resulted in increased expression of β -catenin and cyclin D1 involved in cell proliferation. miR-200a was found to directly target β -catenin mRNA, thereby inhibiting its translation and blocking β -catenin-Wnt signaling, frequently involved in cancer. A direct correlation was found between down-regulation of miR-200a and up-regulation of β-catenin in human meningioma samples. Thus, miR-200a appears to act as a multi-functional tumor suppressor miRNA in meningiomas through effects on the E-cadherin and β -catenin-Wnt signaling pathways. This reveals a previously unrecognized signaling cascade involved in meningioma tumor development and highlights a novel molecular interaction between miR-200a and Wnt signaling, thereby providing insights into novel therapies for meningiomas.
