Title MicroRNAs in the miR-106b family regulate p21/CDKN1A and promote cell cycle progression.
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by array
Summary microRNAs in the miR-106b family are overexpressed in multiple tumor types and are correlated with the expression of genes that regulate the cell cycle. Consistent with these observations, miR-106b family gain of function promotes cell cycle progression, whereas loss of function reverses this phenotype. Microarray profiling uncovers multiple targets of the family, including the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21/CDKN1A. We show that p21 is a direct target of miR-106b and that its silencing plays a key role in miR-106b-induced cell cycle phenotypes. We also show that miR-106b overrides a doxorubicin-induced DNA damage checkpoint. Thus, miR-106b family members contribute to tumor cell proliferation in part by regulating cell cycle progression and by modulating checkpoint functions.
 
Overall design HCT116 Dicerex5 cells were transfected with microRNAs in six-well plates, and RNA was isolated 10 h after transfection. Transcripts containing the miR-106b family hexamers in their 3' UTRs were identified. By microarray analysis, 103 transcripts that contained miR-106b family complementary hexamers in their 3' UTRs were down-regulated by miR-106b, miR-106a, miR-20b, and miR-17-5p within 10 h of transfection.
