miR-22 has a potent anti-tumour role with therapeutic potential in acute myeloid leukaemia
MicroRNAs are subject to precise regulation and have key roles in tumorigenesis. In contrast to the oncogenic role of miR-22 reported in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and breast cancer, here we show that miR-22 is an essential anti-tumour gatekeeper in de novo acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) where it...

| Zusammenfassung: | MicroRNAs are subject to precise regulation and have key roles in tumorigenesis. In contrast to the oncogenic role of miR-22 reported in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and breast cancer, here we show that miR-22 is an essential anti-tumour gatekeeper in
de novo
acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) where it is significantly downregulated. Forced expression of miR-22 significantly suppresses leukaemic cell viability and growth
in vitro
, and substantially inhibits leukaemia development and maintenance
in vivo
. Mechanistically, miR-22 targets multiple oncogenes, including
CRTC1
,
FLT3
and
MYCBP
, and thus represses the CREB and MYC pathways. The downregulation of miR-22 in AML is caused by TET1/GFI1/EZH2/SIN3A-mediated epigenetic repression and/or DNA copy-number loss. Furthermore, nanoparticles carrying miR-22 oligos significantly inhibit leukaemia progression
in vivo
. Together, our study uncovers a TET1/GFI1/EZH2/SIN3A/miR-22/CREB-MYC signalling circuit and thereby provides insights into epigenetic/genetic mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AML, and also highlights the clinical potential of miR-22-based AML therapy.
Mir-22 has been shown to be an oncogenic microRNA in breast cancer and myelodysplastic syndrome. Here, the authors show that mir-22 functions as a tumour suppressor in
de novo
acute myeloid leukaemia by inhibiting the expression of several oncogenes and that restoring mir-22 expression suppresses AML progression. |
