Aberrant micro RNA (miRNA) expression has been described in human malignancies including B-cell lymphomas. We here report BCR-ABL and c-MYC dependent regulation of miRNA expression in CML using microarray analysis (miCHIP) and miRNA-specific quantitative real-time RT-PCR. In three bcr-abl positive cell lines, expression of miRNAs encoded within the polycistronic miR-17-92 cluster is specifically down-regulated (2- 5-fold) by both imatinib treatment and anti-bcr-abl RNAi. In addition, anti-c-myc-RNAi reduces miR-17-92 expression in K562 cells in which miRNAs can specifically repress reporter gene expression as demonstrated by specific miRNA inhibition with antagomirs. Furthermore, lentivirus-mediated over-expression of polycistronic miRNAs in K562 cells confers increased proliferation, partial resistance against anti-c-myc-RNAi, and enhanced sensitivity to imatinib induced cell death. Finally, we determined miR-17-92 expression in purified normal (n=4), early chronic phase (n=24) and blast crisis (n=7) CML CD34+ cells and found up-regulation of polycistronic pri-miRNA transcripts and mature miRNAs in chronic phase but not in blast crisis CML. This data are in accordance with a BCR-ABL - c-MYC - miR-17-92 pathway which mediates enhanced miRNA expression in chronic phase but not blast crisis CML CD34+ cells. Altered miRNA expression may contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease and may provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
