Project description:MicroRNA ablation prevents multiciliogenesis via cell cycle deregulation MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in various biological processes but have been most frequently described to inhibit proliferation and tumorigenesis. Here we describe an essential function of the miR-34/449 family during differentiation of multiciliated cells that is mediated by their well-described suppression of cell cycle progression. Constitutive deletion of all six members of this miRNA family triggers a derepression of multiple cell cycle-promoting proteins, thereby preventing epithelial cells from exiting the cell cycle and to maintain in a quiescent state. As a result, formation of motile multicilia is strongly inhibited in several tissues including the respiratory epithelium and the fallopian tube. Consequently, mice lacking miR-34/449 genes display infertility as well as severe chronic airway disease leading to postnatal death. These results show how miRNA-mediated repression of the cell cycle is required to allow multiciliogenesis to proceed during epithelial differentiation.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression that occurs in response to miR-449 or miR-34 overexpression in proliferating HAECs.

Each donors were transfected with pre-miR-Negative control, pre-miR-449a and pre-miR-449b. The donors 3 and 4 were morever transfected with pre-miRs-34 (34a, 34b-5p, 34c-5p).
Project description:We collected whole genome testis expression data from hybrid zone mice. We integrated GWAS mapping of testis expression traits and low testis weight to gain insight into the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility.
