The miR-15a/16-1 and miR-15b/16-2 clusters regulate early B cell development by limiting IL-7 receptor expression

ABSTRACT: 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.

Defective Drosha Processing Contributes to Downregulation of MiR-15/-16 in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Project description:MIR15A and MIR16-1, located in chromosomal band 13q14, are tumor suppressor miRNAs often deleted and downregulated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This downregulation is not only due to loss of 13q, as it occurs also in 13q+/+ CLL patients. We found that a subgroup of CLL patients has a dysregulation of miR-15 /-16 processing intermediates due to defective processing by Drosha. These patients have reduced levels of miR-15a, miR-16 and miR-15b (another member of the miR-15 family), but not of most other miRNAs. Thus, we show that modulation of miRNA maturation leads to specific downregulation of a family of tumor suppressor miRNAs in leukemic cells.

Transcriptomic profiling of HeLa cells treated with miR-15a, miR-16, miR-503 and control-miR

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.

T cell activation decreases microRNA-15a/16 levels as a mechanism to promote MEK1-ERK1/2-Elk1 signaling for optimal proliferative capacity

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.

MicroRNA-15/16 Antagonizes c-Myb to Control Natural Killer Cell Maturation

Project description:NK cells develop in the bone marrow and complete their maturation in peripheral organs, but the molecular events controlling maturation are incompletely understood. Utilizing an NK cell-specific miR-15/16 deficient genetic model (15aKO), we identified a critical role for miR-15/16 family microRNAs in the normal maturation of NK cells in vivo, with a specific reduction in mature CD11b+CD27- NK cells in multiple tissues. The mechanism responsible was a block in differentiation, since accelerated NK cell death was not evident, and earlier intermediates of NK cell maturation were expanded. Further, we identified Myb as a direct target of miR-15/16 in NK cells, with Myb expression increased in immature 15aKO NK cells. Following adoptive transfer, immature 15aKO NK cells exhibited defective maturation, which was rescued by ectopic miR-15/16 expression or Myb knockdown. Moreover, Myb overexpression resulted in defective NK cell maturation. Thus, miR-15/16 regulation of Myb controls the normal NK cell maturation program. 3 technical replicates each of CD27+ 15a/16-1FKO NK cells, and CD27+ Ctrl NK cells

Effects of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of Safb1 and Safb2 genes on the mature miRNA transcriptome

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-25 nucleotides (nt) RNAs that are predicted to post-transcriptionally silence expression of >60% of all protein coding genes in mammals. As such, they form an additional layer of gene regulation that controls most if not all biological processes. MiRNAs are generated from primary transcripts containing single or multiple clustered stem-loop structures that are thought to be recognized and cleaved by the DGCR8/DROSHA Microprocessor complex as independent entities. Contrasting this view, we find that the primary miR-15a stem-loop within the bicistronic miR-15a-16-1 cluster is a poor Microprocessor substrate and is consequently not processed on its own, but that the presence of the neighboring primary miR-16-1 stem-loop on the same transcript can compensate for this deficiency in cis. Using a CRISPR/Cas9 screen, we identify SAFB2 (scaffold attachment factor B2) as an essential co-factor in this miR-16-1-assisted primary miR-15 cleavage. Small RNA sequencing further revealed that deletion of Safb1 and 2 genes reduces not only miR-15a levels, but also affects other clustered miRNAs, among them miR-15b, miR-181b and miR-92a. We therefore postulate a model in which SAFB2 enables processing of suboptimal substrates in a subset of clustered pri-miRNA transcripts.

An essential role for miR-15/16 in Treg suppression and restriction of proliferation

Project description:The miR-15/16 family is a highly expressed group of tumor suppressor miRNAs that target a large network of genes in T cells to restrict their cell cycle, memory formation and survival. Upon T cell activation, miR-15/16 are downregulated, allowing rapid expansion of differentiated effector T cells to mediate a sustained immune response. Here, using conditional deletion of miR-15/16 in immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express FOXP3, we identify new functions of the miR-15/16 family in T cell immunity. miR-15/16 are indispensable to maintain peripheral tolerance by securing efficient suppression by a limited number of Tregs. miR-15/16-deficiency alters Treg expression of critical functional proteins including FOXP3, IL2Rα/CD25, CTLA4, PD-1 and IL7Rα/CD127, and results in accumulation of functionally impaired FOXP3loCD25loCD127hi Tregs. Excessive proliferation in the absence of miR-15/16 inhibition of cell cycle programs shifts Treg diversity and produces an effector Treg phenotype characterized by low expression of TCF1, CD25 and CD62L, and high expression of CD44. These Tregs fail to control immune activation of CD4+ effector T cells, leading to spontaneous multi-organ inflammation and increased allergic airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Together, our results demonstrate that miR-15/16 expression in Tregs is essential to maintain immune tolerance.
