MicroRNAs (miRNAs and miRs) play a key role in modulating gene expression, and their dysregulation has been implicated in multiple myeloma (MM). This study focused on the interaction between MYC and the TP53-miR34 axis in MM and found that MYC participates in the suppression of p53-dependent miRNA expressions. The inhibition of miRNA expression leads to MM development and malignant transformation.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs and miRs) are small (19-25 base pairs) non-coding RNAs with the ability to modulate gene expression. Previously, we showed that the miR-34 family is downregulated in multiple myeloma (MM) as the cancer progressed. In this study, we aimed to clarify the mechanism of miRNA dysregulation in MM. We focused particularly on the interaction between MYC and the TP53-miR34 axis because there is a discrepancy between increased TP53 and decreased miR-34 expressions in MM. Using the nutlin-3 or Tet-on systems, we caused wild-type (WT) p53 protein accumulation in human MM cell lines (HMCLs) and observed upregulated miR-34 expression. Next, we found that treatment with an Myc inhibitor alone did not affect miR-34 expression levels, but when it was coupled with p53 accumulation, miR-34 expression increased. In contrast, forced MYC activation by the MYC-ER system reduced nutlin-3-induced miR-34 expression. We also observed that TP53 and MYC were negatively correlated with mature miR-34 expressions in the plasma cells of patients with MM. Our results suggest that MYC participates in the suppression of p53-dependent miRNA expressions. Because miRNA expression suppresses tumors, its inhibition leads to MM development and malignant transformation.
