Description:

To identify essential target(s) of miR-17-92 in lymphomagenesis, we first transfected miR-17-92 into two genetically distinct B-cell lymphoma cell lines: Raji cells, which overexpress c-Myc, and SUDHL4 cells, which overexpress Bcl2. Raji cells transfected with miR-17-19b-1 exhibited downregulated expression Bim and a slight upregulation in Bcl2 expression. On the other hand, SUDHL4 cell transfectants showed aggressive cell growth reflecting facilitated cell cycle progression at the G1-S transition and decreased expression of CDKN1A mRNA and p21 protein (CDKN1A/p21) that was independent of p53 expression. Conversely, transfection of antisense oligonucleotides against miR-17 and miR-20a into Jeko-1 cells led to upregulation of CDKN1A/p21, resulting in decreased cell growth with G1-S arrest. Thus, CDKN1A/p21 appears to be an essential target of miR-17-92 during B-cell lymphomagenesis, which suggests the miR-17-92 polycistron has distinct targets in different B-cell lymphoma subtypes.
