Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are evolutionarily conserved epigenetic regulators that mediate histone modifications and suppress target gene expression, therefore establish and maintain cellular memory during development1-3. Deregulation of PcG genes is associated with various human cancers, but the mechanisms are incompletely understood4. Polyhomeotic (Ph), one of the Drosophila PcG proteins, can act as a tumor suppressor in larval imaginal discs5, 6. Cells mutant for ph overgrow and give rise to neoplastic tumors during larval development6. Here we report an intrinsic tumor-suppression mechanism mediated by the steroid hormone ecdysone in Drosophila. During metamorphosis, ecdysone transforms tumorigenic ph mutant cells into non-tumorigenic cells, thereby suppressing the malignant growth in adult flies. We demonstrate ecdysone exerts its function by inducing the expression of microRNA lethal-7 (let-7), which suppresses its target gene chinmo, to inhibit the tumorigenic growth of ph mutant cells. Furthermore, we show let-7 can also suppress the overgrowth of brain tumors in brain tumor (brat) mutant flies, indicating this intrinsic mechanism is functional in different tissues to suppress neoplastic growth. As let-7 is highly conserved among metazoans, our findings will be relevant for mechanistic studies and therapeutic applications in human cancers.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE24992: Drosophila brain microRNA expression with age: miRNA profiling GSE25007: Drosophila brain gene expression with age: mRNA profiling GSE25008: Drosophila brain gene expression between wildtype and miR-34 null flies Refer to individual Series. Aging is the most prominent risk factor for human neurodegenerative disease, but underlying mechanisms that connect two processes are less well characterized. With age, the brain undergoes functional decline and perhaps degeneration. Such decline may not just contribute to normal aging, but also enhance susceptibility to and progression of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, defining intrinsic factors and pathways that underline the normal integrity of the adult nervous system may lead to insights that potentially link aging and neurodegeneration. Here, we report a highly conserved microRNA (miRNA), miR-34, as a modulator of aging and neurodegeneration. Using Drosophila, we show that fly miR-34 expression is brain-enriched and strikingly upregulated with age. Functional studies reveal that, whereas animals without miR-34 are normal as young adults, upon aging, they gradually show late-onset deficits characteristic of accelerated brain aging; these include a transcriptional signature of aged animals, coupled with rapid functional decline, loss of brain integrity, followed by a catastrophic decline in adult viability. Moreover, upregulation of miR-34 protects against neurodegeneration induced by pathogenic human polyglutamine (polyQ) disease protein. We next reveal a dramatic effect of miR-34 to silence the Eip74EF gene of steroid hormone pathways in the adult, which is crucial to maintain the normal aging. Collectively, these data define a miR-34-mediated mechanism that specifically affects long-term integrity of the adult nervous system. miR-34 function in Drosophila may thus present a link that functionally connects aging and neurodegeneration. Our studies implicate essential roles of miRNA- dependent pathways in maintenance of the adult brain, disease pathogenesis and healthy aging.
