MicroRNA networks in FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT: MiR-126 and miR-155 are key microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate, respectively, hematopoietic cell quiescence and proliferation. Herein we showed that in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the biogenesis of these two miRNAs is interconnected through a network of regulatory loops driven by the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD). In fact, FLT3-ITD induces the expression of miR-155 through a noncanonical mechanism of miRNA biogenesis that implicates cytoplasmic Drosha ribonuclease III (DROSHA). In turn, miR-155 down-regulates SH2-containing inositol phosphatase 1 (SHIP1), thereby increasing phosphor-protein kinase B (AKT) that in turn serine-phosphorylates, stabilizes, and activates Sprouty related EVH1 domain containing 1 (SPRED1). Activated SPRED1 inhibits the RAN/XPO5
