MicroRNAs are known to regulate developmental processes but their mechanism of regulation remains largely uncharacterized. We show the transcription factor Twist-1 drives the expression of a 7.9-kb noncoding RNA transcript (from the Dynamin-3 gene intron) that encodes a miR-199a and miR-214 cluster. We also show that knocking down Twist-1 with shRNAs decreased miR-199a/214 levels and that Twist-1 bound an E-Box promoter motif to developmentally regulate the expression of these miRNAs. The expression of HIF-1 (known to mediate Twist-1 transcription), miR-199a and miR-214 was maximal at E12.5 and the miRNAs were expressed specifically in mouse cerebellum, midbrain, nasal process and fore- and hindlimb buds. This study shows the expression of the miR199a/214 cluster is controlled by Twist-1 via an E-Box promoter element and supports a role for these miRNAs as novel intermediates in the pathways controlling the development of specific neural cell populations.
