Expression profiling of mammalian microRNAs uncovers a subset of brain-expressed microRNAs with possible roles in murine and human neuronal differentiation
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The microRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small noncoding RNAs (18 to 25 nucleotides) with probable roles in the regulation of gene expression. In Caenorhabditis elegans, lin-4 and let-7 miRNAs control the timing of fate specification of neuronal and hypodermal cells during larval development. lin-4, let-7 and other miRNA genes are conserved in mammals, and their potential functions in mammalian development are under active study. RESULTS: In order to identify mammalian miRNAs that might function in development, we characterized the expression of 119 previously reported miRNAs in adult organs from mouse and human using northern blot analysis. Of these, 30 miRNAs were specifically expressed or greatly enriched in a particular organ (brain, lung, liver or skeletal muscle). This suggests organ- or tissue-specific functions for miRNAs. To test if any of the 66 brain-expressed miRNAs were present in neurons, embryonal carcinoma cells were treated with all-trans-retinoic acid to promote neuronal differentiation. A total of 19 brain-expressed miRNAs (including lin-4 and let-7 orthologs) were coordinately upregulated in both human and mouse embryonal carcinoma cells during neuronal differentiation. The mammalian ortholog of C. elegans lin-28, which is downregulated by lin-4 in worms via 3' untranslated region binding, was also repressed during neuronal differentiation of mammalian embryonal carcinoma cells. Mammalian lin-28 messenger RNAs contain conserved predicted binding sites in their 3' untranslated regions for neuron-expressed miR-125b (a lin-4 ortholog), let-7a, and miR-218. CONCLUSIONS: The identification of a subset of brain-expressed miRNAs whose expression behavior is conserved in both mouse and human differentiating neurons implicates these miRNAs in mammalian neuronal development or function.

TL;DR
Northern blot profiling of 119 mammalian microRNAs in adult mouse and human organs identified conserved organ-specific and organ-enriched expression, including a prominent brain-expressed subset. Several brain-expressed miRNAs were induced during retinoic-acid-driven neuronal differentiation of mouse P19 and human NT2/D1 embryonal carcinoma cells, and LIN-28 was downregulated with conserved predicted miRNA binding sites.
Key findings
- Of 119 miRNAs analyzed, 92 were previously cloned and 27 were computationally predicted; 21 of 27 predicted miRNAs were detected by northern blot. Seventeen miRNAs were detected exclusively in one mouse organ, including seven brain-specific miRNAs (miR-9, -124a, -124b, -135, -153, -183, -219), six lung-specific, two spleen-specific, one liver-specific, and one heart-specific miRNA. Among 75 miRNAs detected in two or more mouse organs, 14 were enriched at least two-fold in one organ, including seven brain-enriched miRNAs (miR-9*, -125a, -125b, -128, -132, -137, -139), three skeletal muscle-enriched, two kidney-enriched, and one spleen-enriched miRNA.
- Hierarchical clustering identified at least six major groups of miRNAs with similar expression profiles, including a group of 17 miRNAs expressed in mouse and human brain; about 50% of expressed miRNAs were assigned to a specific or restricted set of organs.
- Retinoic acid treatment induced 19 miRNAs in both P19 and NT2/D1 cells, including four brain-specific, four brain-enriched, and 11 brain-nonenriched miRNAs; induction in P19 cells typically occurred by day four after RA treatment.
- LIN-28 protein levels began to decrease around day five and almost disappeared by day eight in P19 cells; in NT2/D1 cells, LIN-28 decreased slightly by day 14 and was still detectable at day 21. This kinetics paralleled upregulation of miR-125b, let-7a, and miR-218, and mouse and human Lin-28 mRNAs contain conserved predicted binding sites for these miRNAs.
Methods
- Northern analysis of 119 miRNAs using StarFire probes on total RNA from adult mouse organs (six-week-old C57BL/6 mice, pooled organs from two to four mice) and human organs, plus P19 and NT2/D1 embryonal carcinoma cells treated with 1 μM and 10 μM retinoic acid, respectively.
- Northern blot signals were quantified with ImageQuant and clustered with GeneTraffic 6.2 using Pearson hierarchical clustering; western analysis was used to measure LIN-28 protein.
- miRNA::target mRNA predictions were made by testing 20-nucleotide 3′ UTR segments for RNA secondary structure with the RNAfold program of the Vienna RNA package, applying binding, free-energy, and mouse-human conservation filters and a numerical scoring formula.
Limitations
- Stated: some cloned and predicted miRNAs were not detected, possibly because of low expression, expression limited to a small number of cells or a narrow developmental window, or lack of expression in the organs examined; the organ panel did not include all organs and tissues from which miRNAs were cloned, and human kidney, lung, and spleen were not examined.
- Stated: glial expression was not directly examined, so the possibility that RA-induced miRNAs were also expressed in glial cells could not be eliminated; a luciferase reporter fused to the mouse Lin-28 3′ UTR was not downregulated in differentiating P19 cells, and endogenous Lin-28 mRNA decreased, suggesting that repression of native Lin-28 may be largely transcriptional and that miRNA regulation may be auxiliary.
- Evident: the miRNA target predictions are computational and were not experimentally validated by loss-of-function experiments; the paper notes that miRNA loss-of-function experiments in these EC cells could prove useful for understanding their regulatory contribution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
