The conserved microRNA miR-34 regulates synaptogenesis via coordination of distinct mechanisms in presynaptic and postsynaptic cells

Abstract: Micro(mi)RNA-based post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms have been broadly implicated in the assembly and modulation of synaptic connections required to shape neural circuits, however, relatively few specific miRNAs have been identified that control synapse formation. Using a conditional transgenic toolkit for competitive inhibition of miRNA function in Drosophila, we performed an unbiased screen for novel regulators of synapse morphogenesis at the larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ). From a set of ten ne… Show more

“…Of note is the robust association of CAF22 with plasma miRs levels. All the miRs investigated by us have some degree of contribution in NMJ regulation and maintenance [ 42 , 43 , 44 ]. For example, miR-206 is involved in NMJ repair following nerve injury, and this action is either mediated alone or in combination with miR-133 [ 42 ].…”

“…For example, miR-206 is involved in NMJ repair following nerve injury, and this action is either mediated alone or in combination with miR-133 [ 42 ]. Similarly, miR-34a regulated synaptogenesis by mediating the interaction between presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals [ 44 ]. The association of these miRs with CAF22 shows that they likely share signaling pathways involved in NMJ disruption in aging and respiratory diseases.…”
