Abstract

Background: Neural tube (NT) morphogenesis is reliant on the proper temporospatial expression of numerous genes and synchronized crosstalk between diverse signaling cascades and gene regulatory networks governing key cellular processes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a group of small non-coding regulatory RNAs, execute defining roles in directing key canonical pathways during embryogenesis.

Objective: In order to comprehend the mechanistic underpinnings of miRNA regulation of NT morphogenesis, we have identified in the current study various miRNAs and their target mRNAs associated with BMP signaling during critical stages of neurulation.

Methods: We previously demonstrated the expression of several miRNAs during the critical stages of neurulation (gestational days (GD) 8.5, 9.0, and 9.5) employing high-sensitivity, high-coverage microarrays. In the present study, bioinformatic analyses were used to identify miRNAs differentially expressed (DE) in the embryonic NT that target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) associated with the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway. RNAs extracted from the developing NT were hybridized to both miRNA and mRNA arrays to evaluate miRNA-mRNA interactions.

Results: Bioinformatic analysis identified several DE miRNAs that targeted mRNAs encoding members of (and proteins associated with) the BMP signaling pathway – a signaling cascade central to normal NT development.

Conclusion: Identification of the miRNAs and their mRNA targets associated with BMP signaling facilitates a better understanding of the crucial epigenetic mechanisms underlying normal NT development as well as the pathogenesis of NT defects. The current study supports the notion that miRNAs function as key regulators of neural tube morphogenesis via modulation of the BMP signaling cascade. Altered expression of these miRNAs during neurulation may therefore result in NT defects.
