Abstract
Hematopoiesis is a complex process in which hematopoietic stem cells are differentiated into all mature blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). Different microRNAs (miRNAs) involve in several steps of this process. Indeed, miRNAs are small single-stranded non-coding RNA molecules, which control gene expression by translational inhibition and mRNA destabilization. Previous studies have revealed that increased or decreased expression of some of these miRNAs by targeting several proto-oncogenes could inhibit or stimulate the myeloid and erythroid lineage commitment, proliferation, and differentiation. During the last decades, the development of molecular and bioinformatics techniques has led to a comprehensive understanding of the role of various miRNAs in hematopoiesis. The critical roles of miRNAs in cell processes such as the cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation have been confirmed as well. However, the main contribution of some miRNAs is still unclear. Therefore, it seems undeniable that future studies are required to focus on miRNA activities during various hematopoietic stages and hematological malignancy.

Abstract
Erythropoiesis is a complex, precise, and lifelong process that is essential for maintaining normal body functions. Its strict regulation is necessary to prevent a variety of blood diseases. Normal erythropoiesis is precisely regulated by an intricate network that involves transcription levels, signal transduction, and various epigenetic modifications. In recent years, research on post-transcriptional levels in erythropoiesis has expanded significantly. The dynamic regulation of splicing transitions is responsible for changes in protein isoform expression that add new functions beneficial for erythropoiesis. RNA-binding proteins adapt the translation of transcripts to the protein requirements of the cell, yielding mRNA with dynamic translation efficiency. Noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs and lncRNAs, are indispensable for changing the translational efficiency and/or stability of targeted mRNAs to maintain the normal expression of genes related to erythropoiesis. N6-methyladenosine-dependent regulation of mRNA translation plays an important role in maintaining the expression programs of erythroid-related genes and promoting erythroid lineage determination. This review aims to describe our current understanding of the role of post-transcriptional regulation in erythropoiesis and erythroid-associated diseases, and to shed light on the physiological and pathological implications of the post-transcriptional regulation machinery in erythropoiesis. These may help to further enrich our understanding of the regulatory network of erythropoiesis and provide new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of erythroid-related diseases.

Targeting MicroRNA-144/451-AKT-GSK3β Axis Affects the Proliferation and Differentiation of Radial Glial Cells in the Mouse Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus. ACS Chem Neurosci 2022; 13:897-909.

Abstract
It is well known that aging induces a progressive decline in the proliferation and neural differentiation of radial glial cells (RGCs) in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). The function of miR-144/451 is to activate stress-regulated molecular gene expression switches for cell proliferation and differentiation. We found that the miR-144/451 expression in the hippocampus was significantly reduced in aged mice compared to adult mice. Furthermore, the proliferation and neural differentiation of RGCs in the mouse hippocampal DG was decreased by miR-144/451 knockout (miR-144/451-/-). Antioxidant agents, superoxide dismutases (SODs) and catalase, and the expression of melatonin's receptor in the hippocampus were decreased in the miR-144/451-/- mice. In addition, the (protein kinase B) AKT/(glycogen synthase kinase 3β) GSK3β/(catenin beta-1) β-catenin signaling pathway was weakly activated in the hippocampus of miR-144/451-/- mice, which was related to brain neurogenesis. Melatonin treatment improved the expression of miR-144/451 and antioxidant enzymes and activated the AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway in the hippocampus of miR-144/451-/- mice. When the AKT pathway was inhibited by LY294002, the neurogenerative and antioxidant effects of melatonin were significantly limited in the hippocampus of miR-144/451-/- mice. In brief, our results indicated that miR-144/451 plays crucial roles in the proliferation and neural differentiation of RGCs via the regulation of the antioxidant and AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathways.

[PMID: 33496386 PMCID: PMC7933962 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.16067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 10/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The exact molecular mechanism underlying erythroblast enucleation has been a fundamental biological question for decades. In this study, we found that miR-144/451 critically regulated erythroid differentiation and enucleation. We further identified CAP1, a G-actin-binding protein, as a direct target of miR-144/451 in these processes. During terminal erythropoiesis, CAP1 expression declines along with gradually increased miR-144/451 levels. Enforced CAP1 up-regulation inhibits the formation of contractile actin rings in erythroblasts and prevents their terminal differentiation and enucleation. Our findings reveal a negative regulatory role of CAP1 in miR-144/451-mediated erythropoiesis and thus shed light on how microRNAs fine-tune terminal erythroid development through regulating actin dynamics.
