The amino acid-derived polyamines are organic cations that are essential for growth in all mammalian cells, but their exact roles at the molecular level remain largely unknown. Here we provide evidence that polyamines promote the translation of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) by the action of CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1) and microRNA-222 (miR-222) in intestinal epithelial cells. Both CUGBP1 and miR-222 were found to bind the CDK4 mRNA coding region and 3'-untranslated region and repressed CDK4 translation synergistically. Depletion of cellular polyamines increased cytoplasmic CUGBP1 abundance and miR-222 levels, induced their associations with the CDK4 mRNA, and inhibited CDK4 translation, whereas increasing the levels of cellular polyamines decreased CDK4 mRNA interaction with CUGBP1 and miR-222, in turn inducing CDK4 expression. Polyamine-deficient cells exhibited an increased colocalization of tagged CDK4 mRNA with processing bodies; this colocalization was abolished by silencing CUGBP1 and miR-222. Together, our findings indicate that polyamine-regulated CUGBP1 and miR-222 modulate CDK4 translation at least in part by altering the recruitment of CDK4 mRNA to processing bodies. 相似文献

The mammalian intestinal epithelium is one of the most rapidly self-renewing tissues in the body, and its integrity is preserved through strict regulation. The RNA-binding protein (RBP) ELAV-like family member 1 (CELF1), also referred to as CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1), regulates the stability and translation of target mRNAs and is implicated in many aspects of cellular physiology. We show that CELF1 competes with the RBP HuR to modulate MYC translation and regulates intestinal epithelial homeostasis. Growth inhibition of the small intestinal mucosa by fasting in mice was associated with increased CELF1/Myc mRNA association and decreased MYC expression. At the molecular level, CELF1 was found to bind the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of Myc mRNA and repressed MYC translation without affecting total Myc mRNA levels. HuR interacted with the same Myc 3′-UTR element, and increasing the levels of HuR decreased CELF1 binding to Myc mRNA. In contrast, increasing the concentrations of CELF1 inhibited formation of the [HuR/Myc mRNA] complex. Depletion of cellular polyamines also increased CELF1 and enhanced CELF1 association with Myc mRNA, thus suppressing MYC translation. Moreover, ectopic CELF1 overexpression caused G1-phase growth arrest, whereas CELF1 silencing promoted cell proliferation. These results indicate that CELF1 represses MYC translation by decreasing Myc mRNA association with HuR and provide new insight into the molecular functions of RBPs in the regulation of intestinal mucosal growth. 相似文献

miR-148 targets human DNMT3b protein coding region 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules of 20-24 nucleotides that regulate gene expression. In animals, miRNAs form imperfect interactions with sequences in the 3' Untranslated region (3'UTR) of mRNAs, causing translational inhibition and mRNA decay. In contrast, plant miRNAs mostly associate with protein coding regions. Here we show that human miR-148 represses DNA methyltransferase 3b (Dnmt3b) gene expression through a region in its coding sequence. This region is evolutionary conserved and present in the Dnmt3b splice variants Dnmt3b1, Dnmt3b2, and Dnmt3b4, but not in the abundantly expressed Dnmt3b3. Whereas overexpression of miR-148 results in decreased DNMT3b1 expression, short-hairpin RNA-mediated miR-148 repression leads to an increase in DNMT3b1 expression. Interestingly, mutating the putative miR-148 target site in Dnmt3b1 abolishes regulation by miR-148. Moreover, endogenous Dnmt3b3 mRNA, which lacks the putative miR-148 target site, is resistant to miR-148-mediated regulation. Thus, our results demonstrate that the coding sequence of Dnmt3b mediates regulation by the miR-148 family. More generally, we provide evidence that coding regions of human genes can be targeted by miRNAs, and that such a mechanism might play a role in determining the relative abundance of different splice variants. 相似文献

The microRNA miR-519 robustly inhibits cell proliferation, in turn triggering senescence and decreasing tumor growth. However, the molecular mediators of miR-519-elicited growth inhibition are unknown. Here, we systematically investigated the influence of miR-519 on gene expression profiles leading to growth cessation in HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells. By analyzing miR-519-triggered changes in protein and mRNA expression patterns and by identifying mRNAs associated with biotinylated miR-519, we uncovered two prominent subsets of miR-519-regulated mRNAs. One subset of miR-519 target mRNAs encoded DNA maintenance proteins (including DUT1, EXO1, RPA2, and POLE4); miR-519 repressed their expression and increased DNA damage, in turn raising the levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor p21. The other subset of miR-519 target mRNAs encoded proteins that control intracellular calcium levels (notably, ATP2C1 and ORAI1); their downregulation by miR-519 aberrantly elevated levels of cytosolic [Ca(2+)] storage in HeLa cells, similarly increasing p21 levels in a manner dependent on the Ca(2+)-activated kinases CaMKII and GSK3β. The rises in levels of DNA damage, the Ca(2+) concentration, and p21 levels stimulated an autophagic phenotype in HeLa and other human carcinoma cell lines. As a consequence, ATP levels increased, and the level of activity of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) declined, further contributing to the elevation in the abundance of p21. Our results indicate that miR-519 promotes DNA damage, alters Ca(2+) homeostasis, and enhances energy production; together, these processes elevate the expression level of p21, promoting growth inhibition and cell survival. 相似文献

MicroRNAs usually interact with 3' noncoding regions (3'NCRs) of target mRNAs leading to downregulation of mRNA expression. In contrast, liver-specific microRNA miR-122 interacts with the 5' end of the hepatitis C virus RNA genome, resulting in increased viral RNA abundance. We find that inserting the viral miR-122 binding site into the 3' noncoding region of a reporter mRNA leads to downregulation of mRNA expression, indicating that the location of the miR-122 binding site dictates its effect on gene regulation. Furthermore, we discovered an adjacent, second miR-122 binding site, separated from the first by a highly conserved 14-nucleotide sequence. Mutational analysis demonstrates that both miR-122 binding sites in a single viral genome are occupied by the microRNA and function cooperatively to regulate target gene expression. These findings set a paradigm for dual, position-dependent functions of tandem microRNA-binding sites. Targeting an oligomeric microRNA complex offers potential as an antiviral-intervention strategy. 相似文献

Macroautophagy (autophagy) is the major intracellular degradation pathway for long-lived proteins and organelles. It helps the cell to survive a spectrum of stressful conditions including starvation, growth factor deprivation and misfolded protein accumulation. Moreover, abnormalities of autophagy play a role in major health problems including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, mechanisms controlling autophagic activity are not fully understood. Here, we describe hsa-miR-376b (miR-376b) as a new microRNA (miRNA) regulating autophagy. We showed that miR-376b expression attenuated starvation- and rapamycin-induced autophagy in MCF-7 and Huh-7 cells. We discovered autophagy proteins ATG4C and BECN1 (Beclin 1) as cellular targets of miR-376b. Indeed, upon miRNA overexpression, both mRNA and protein levels of ATG4C and BECN1 were decreased. miR-376b target sequences were present in the 3' UTR of ATG4C and BECN1 mRNAs and introduction of mutations abolished their miR-376b responsiveness. Antagomir-mediated inactivation of the endogenous miR-376b led to an increase in ATG4C and BECN1 levels. Therefore, miR-376b controls autophagy by directly regulating intracellular levels of two key autophagy proteins, ATG4C and BECN1. 相似文献
