Project description:Pleiotropic functions of miRNAs as transcriptional repressors have been reported for multiple biological processes. One prominent miRNA family is the miR-15 family, which is a well-established tumor-suppressor in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The miR-15 family consists of three bicistronic clusters, miR-15a/16-1, miR-15b/16-2 and miR-497/195, all sharing the same seed sequence suggesting that loss one cluster can be functionally compensated by the remaining miR-15 family members. Thus, a combined deletion may be necessary to reveal its physiological function in vivo. A combined knockout of the most prominent miR-15 clusters, miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 in the hematopoietic system reveals a novel role of the miR-15 family in early B cell development highlighted by an increase of the pro-B cell compartment. Mechanistically, this effect is mediated by enhanced IL-7 receptor expression, which we identified as direct miR-15 target gene. Notably, elevated IL-7 receptor levels were sufficient to trigger increased activation of the STAT5 and PI3K/AKT pathways. Moreover, derepression of directly targeted cell cycle regulators such as Ccne1, Chek1 and Wee1 further facilitates G-to-S transition. Thus, by deregulating a target gene network of cell cycle and signaling mediators, loss of the miR-15 family establishes a pro-proliferative milieu manifesting in an enlarged pro-B cell pool.

Project description:MiR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters have been shown to play very important roles in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting cell cycle proteins and the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 gene. However, the physiological implications of those two clusters are largely elusive. By aligning the primary miR-15a/16-1 sequence among 44 vertebrates, we found that there was a gap in the homologous region of the rat genome. To verify that there was a similar miR-15a/16-1 cluster in rats, we amplified this region from rat genomic DNA using PCR and found that a 697-bp sequence was missing in the current rat genome database, which covers the miR-15a/16-1 cluster. Subsequently, we also investigated the expression pattern of individual miRNAs spliced from miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters, including miR-15a, miR-15a*, miR-15b, miR-15b*, miR-16-1/2, and miR-16-1/2* from various rat tissues, and found that all of those miRNAs were expressed in the investigated tissues. MiR-16 was most expressed in the heart, followed by the brain, lung, kidney, and small intestine, which indicates tissue specificity for individual miRNA expression from both clusters. Our results demonstrated that both miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters are highly conserved among mammalian species. The investigation of the biological functions of those two clusters using transgenic or knockout/knockdown models will provide new clues to understanding their implications in human diseases and finding a new approach for miRNA-based therapy.

Project description:While microRNAs (miRs) have been extensively studied in the context of malignancy and tumor progression, their functions in regulating T cell activation are less clear. We found reduced levels of miR-15a/16 at 3-18 h post-T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation, suggesting a role in shaping T cell activation. An inducible miR15a/16 transgenic mouse model was developed to determine how elevating miR-15a/16 levels during early stages of activation would affect T cell proliferation and to identify TCR signaling pathways regulated by this miR pair. Doxycyclin (DOX) induced expression of miR-15a/16 from 0-18 h post-TCR stimulation decreased ex vivo proliferation as well as in vivo antigen-specific proliferation. Bioinformatic and proteomic approaches were combined to identify MEK1 as a target of miR-15a/16. MEK1 targeting by miR-15a/16 was confirmed using miR mimics that decreased MEK1 containing the 3’-UTR target nucleotide sequence (UGCUGCUA) but did not decrease MEK1 containing a mutated control sequence (AAAAAAAA). Phosphorylation of downstream signaling molecules ERK1/2 and Elk1 were decreased with DOX-induced miR-15a/16 expression. In addition to MEK1, ERK1 was subsequently found to be targeted by miR-15a/16, with DOX induced miR-15a/16 reducing total ERK1 levels in T cells. These findings show that TCR stimulation reduces miR-15a/16 levels at early stages of T cell activation to facilitate increased MEK1 and ERK1, and this promotes sustained MEK1-ERK1/2-Elk1 signaling required for optimal proliferation.

Project description:To have a global picture of the targets of the miR-15 family, we assessed transcriptome changes, by deep-sequencing, of HeLa cells transfected with 3 members of the miR-15 family (miR-15a, miR-16 or miR-503) or a control miRNA (cel-miR-231). We observed a very extensive overlap between the genes down-regulated by these 3 miRNAs, as expected for miRNAs belonging to the same family. transcriptmic profiles of HeLa cells treated miR-15a, miR-16, miR-503 and control-miR were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Project description:MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that have emerged as post-transcriptional regulators involved in development and function of different types of immune cells, and aberrant miRNA expression has often been linked to cancer. One prominent miRNA family in the latter setting is the miR-15 family, consisting of the three clusters miR-15a/16-1, miR-15b/16-2 and miR-497/195, which is best known for its prominent tumor suppressive role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, little is known about the physiological role of the miR-15 family. In this study, we provide a comprehensive in vivo analysis of the physiological functions of miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2, both of which are highly expressed in immune cells, in early B cell development. In particular, we report a previously unrecognized physiological function of the miR-15 family in restraining progenitor B cell expansion, as loss of both clusters induces an increase of the pro-B as well as pre-B cell compartments. Mechanistically, we find that the miR-15 family mediates its function through repression of at least two different types of target genes: First, we confirm that the miR-15 family suppresses several prominent cell cycle regulators such as Ccne1, Ccnd3 and Cdc25a also in vivo, thereby limiting the proliferation of progenitor B cells. Second, this is complemented by direct repression of the Il7r gene, which encodes the alpha chain of the IL-7 receptor (IL7R), one of the most critical growth factor receptors for early B cell development. In consequence, deletion of the miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters stabilizes Il7r transcripts, resulting in enhanced IL7R surface expression. Consistently, our data show an increased activation of PI3K/AKT, a key signaling pathway downstream of the IL7R, which likely drives the progenitor B cell expansion we describe here. Thus, by deregulating a target gene network of cell cycle and signaling mediators, loss of the miR-15 family establishes a pro-proliferative milieu that manifests in an enlarged progenitor B cell pool.
