A microRNA array reveals extensive regulation of microRNAs during brain development
Open accessAbstract
Several hundred microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been cloned from a wide range of organisms across phylogeny. Despite the high degree of conservation of miRNAs, their functions in general, and in mammals particularly, are just beginning to be defined. Here we show that an oligonucleotide DNA array can be successfully used for the simultaneous analysis of miRNA expression profiles from tissues or cells. From a subset of miRNAs expressed in the brain we designed an oligonucleotide array spotted with probes specific for 44 mature miRNAs. These arrays demonstrated precise regulation of miRNA expression at mammalian brain developmental epochs. About 20% of the probed miRNAs changed significantly in their expression during normal brain development, and two of them, miR-9 and miR-131, were dysregulated in presenilin-1 null mice exhibiting severe brain developmental defects. Transcripts with regulated expression patterns on the arrays were validated by Northern blots. Additionally, a bioinformatic analysis of developmentally regulated miRNAs suggested potential mRNA targets. The arrays also revealed miRNAs distributed to translating polyribosomes in primary neurons where they are likely to modulate translation. Therefore, oligonucleotide arrays provide a new tool for studying miRNA expression in a variety of biological and pathobiological settings. Creating clusters of coexpressed miRNAs will contribute to understanding their regulation, functions, and discovery of mRNA targets.

TL;DR
An oligonucleotide array for 44 mature microRNAs revealed that miRNA expression is extensively and precisely regulated across rat brain development, with about 20% of probed miRNAs changing significantly. The array also detected dysregulation of miR-9 and miR-131 in presenilin-1 null mice and differential miRNA association with translating polyribosomes in primary neurons.
Key findings
- Nine candidate miRNAs were differentially expressed during rat forebrain development with more than a twofold change (p < 0.05); Northern blots validated all nine. Examples include miR-131 increasing 4.2-fold from E12 to E13 and 4.7-fold from E13 to E21, miR-124a increasing more than 13-fold from E12 to E21, and miR-128 increasing 12-fold from E12 to adult.
- In E17.5 PS1-deficient mouse forebrains, miR-9 and miR-131 were reduced more than twofold compared with PS1(+/-) littermates; the difference was less evident at E13.5 and enhanced over development. No differences in other miRNAs were detected in PS1-deficient mice.
- miRNAs cosedimented with translating polyribosomes in primary cerebrocortical neurons; miR-9 was more associated with polyribosomes than miR-131 (20%–25% of miR-9 versus 8%–9% of miR-131).
- Bioinformatic analysis suggested putative mRNA targets, including calcineurin A beta for miR-131 (19 nt of 21 in human, 18 nt of 21 in rodent complementarity), Id2 for miR-9 (20 nt of 23), and SMBP2 and Otx1 for miR-103.
Methods
- A nylon-membrane oligonucleotide array was spotted with antisense probes for 44 mature miRNAs (54–72 nt tri-mers at 7 µM), plus mismatch controls. Low-molecular-weight RNA (<70 nt) from rat forebrain at E12, E13, E21, P5, and adult stages, PS1 mouse forebrains, and cultured primary cerebrocortical neurons was labeled and hybridized.
- Hybridization signals were quantified by phosphorimaging; typically three independent RNA samples per developmental time point were used, with duplicate or triplicate hybridizations, normalization, and two-tailed t-tests for developmental comparisons. Northern blots validated regulated miRNAs.
- For polyribosome studies, cytosolic lysates from primary neurons were fractionated on 15%–45% sucrose gradients into mRNP, ribosomal subunit/free ribosome, polyribosome, and RNA granule fractions; RNA from fractions was analyzed by array and Northern blot. Bioinformatic FASTA/BLAST searches identified mRNAs with complementarity to regulated miRNAs.
Limitations
- The paper does not include a dedicated limitations section.
- Evident from the text: the array covered only 44 selected miRNAs, so it could not survey all vertebrate miRNAs; putative mRNA targets were identified bioinformatically and were not experimentally validated.
- The erratum revises miRNA nomenclature and notes that miR-271 does not fulfill stringent miRNA criteria and was deleted from the array list; some PS1 array data are described as “data not shown.”

The Introduction reports that PS1-deficient mice die shortly after birth and have CNS developmental abnormalities. The Discussion compares their skeletal defects—not their CNS defects—with those of Notch1-deficient mice, and says death is likely due to ribcage deformities rather than CNS hemorrhages. It also leaves PS1’s interaction with Notch signaling unresolved; this paper does not establish the sentence’s substrate-based explanation. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The paper’s opening passage distinguishes the SMN complex from a separate, miRNA-containing complex formed by Gemin3, Gemin4, and eIF2C2. The ∼15S section identifies those proteins and miRNAs in the large RNP, not SMN; it describes SMN complexes as larger particles that sediment separately. The source therefore does not place SMN in the miRNA-containing complex. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The paper reports cloning miRNAs from adult mouse cortex, cerebellum, and midbrain, and describes several as predominantly brain-specific (Abstract; page not given in our copy).

The Identification and characterization of miRNAs section reports many miRNAs from mouse and human neuronal cell lines and identifies miR-124a as neuronal-specific.

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.
