MicroRNA Expression Profile in TSC Cell Lines and the Impact of mTOR Inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to assess the potential implication of microRNA on tuberous sclerosis (TSC) pathogenesis by performing microRNA profiling on cell lines silencing TSC1 or TSC2 genes using qPCR panels, before and after incubation with rapamycin. Significant differences in expression were observed between samples before and after rapamycin treatment in nineteen miRNAs in TSC1, five miRNAs in TSC2 and seven miRNAs in controls. Of miRNAs dysregulated before rapamycin treatment, three normalized after treatment in the TSC1 group (miR-21-3p, miR-433-3p, let-7g-3p) and one normalized in the TSC2 group (miR-1224-3p). Of the miRNAs dysregulated before rapamycin treatment in the TSC1 and TSC2 groups, two did not normalize after treatment (miR-33a-3p, miR-29a-3p).
