The Mir-26 Family Regulates Neural Differentiation-Associated Micrornas And Mrnas By Directly Targeting Rest
JOURNAL OF CELL SCIENCE(2021)
摘要
Repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) plays a crucial role in the differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). C-terminal domain small phosphatases (CTDSPs) are REST effector proteins that reduce RNA polymerase II activity on genes required for neurogenesis. miR-26b regulates neurogenesis in zebrafish by targeting ctdsp2 mRNA, but the molecular events triggered by this microRNA (miR) remain unknown. Here, we show in a murine embryonic stem cell differentiation paradigm that inactivation of miR26 family members disrupts the formation of neurons and astroglia and arrests neurogenesis at the neural progenitor level. Furthermore, we show that miR-26 directly targets Rest, thereby inducing the expression of a large set of REST complex-repressed neuronal genes, including miRs required for induction of the neuronal gene expression program. Our data identify the miR-26 family as the trigger of a self-amplifying system required for neural differentiation that acts upstream of REST-controlled miRs.
