Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive cancer that occurs in both children and adults. Starting from an integrated analysis of miRNA/mRNA expression profiles in 20 ALL patients, we identify a negative correlation between miR-181a and EGR1. Coherently, miR-181a over-expression in Jurkat T-ALL cells decreases EGR1 expression, increasing cell proliferation and enhancing the cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase. We show that EGR1 is a new direct target of miR-181a. Our findings suggest that miR-181a behaves as an onco-miRNA in ALL by down-regulating EGR1.

Abstract

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive cancer that occurs in both children and adults. Starting from an integrated analysis of miRNA/mRNA expression profiles in 20 ALL patients, we identify a negative correlation between miR-181a and EGR1. Coherently, miR-181a over-expression in Jurkat T-ALL cells decreases EGR1 expression, increasing cell proliferation and enhancing the cell-cycle progression from G1 to S phase. We show that EGR1 is a new direct target of miR-181a. Our findings suggest that miR-181a behaves as an onco-miRNA in ALL by down-regulating EGR1.
