MAPK-induced miR-29 targets MAFG and suppresses melanoma progression


ABSTRACT: The tumor suppressive miR-29 family of microRNAs is encoded by two clusters, miR-29b1~a and miR-29b2~c, and is regulated by several oncogenic and tumor suppressive stimuli. Here we investigated whether oncogenic MAPK hyperactivation regulates miR-29 abundance and how this signaling axis impacts melanoma development. Using mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human melanocytes, we found that oncogenic MAPK signaling stimulates p53-independent and p53-dependent transcription of pri-miR-29b1~a and pri-miR-29b2~c, respectively. Expression analyses revealed that while pri-miR-29a~b1 remains elevated, pri-miR-29b2~c levels decrease during melanoma progression. Using a rapid mouse modeling platform, we showed that inactivation of miR-29 in vivo accelerates the development of frank melanomas and decreases overall survival. We identified MAFG as a relevant miR-29 target that has oncogenic potential in melanocytes and is required for growth of melanoma cells. Our findings suggest that MAPK-driven miR-29 induction constitutes a tumor suppressive barrier by targeting MAFG, which is overcome by attenuation of miR-29b2~c expression.
