MiR-205 is a critical regulator of lacrimal gland development


ABSTRACT: Tears are essential for the maintenance of the terrestrial animal ocular surface and the lacrimal gland is the source of the aqueous layer of the tear film. Despite the importance of the lacrimal gland in ocular health, molecular aspects of its development remain poorly understood. We have identified a noncoding RNA (miR-205) as an essential gene for lacrimal gland development. Knockout mice lacking miR-205 fail to develop lacrimal glands, establishing this noncoding RNA as a key regulator of lacrimal bud initiation. RNA-seq analysis uncovered several up-regulated miR-205 targets, including Inppl1, a negative regulator of Akt signaling. Data indicate that Akt signaling is required within lacrimal gland epithelia and is activated by Fgf10. Furthermore, combinatorial epistatic deletion of Fgf10 and miR-205 in mice exacerbates the lacrimal gland phenotype. We develop a molecular rheostat model where miR-205 modulates signaling pathways downstream of Fgf10 to regulate glandular development. These data show that a single microRNA is a key regulator for lacrimal gland initiation in mice and highlights the important role of microRNAs during organogenesis.
