In molecular biology mir-132 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms, generally reducing protein levels though the cleavage of mRNAs or the repression of their translation. Several targets for miR-132 have been described, including mediators of inflammation and synaptic transmission.
Expression
miR-132 arises from the miR-212/132 cluster located in the intron of a non-coding gene on mouse chromosome 11. The transcription of this cluster was found to be enhanced by the transcription factor CREB (cAMP-response element binding protein). In neuronal cells BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) is known to induce the transcription of this cluster; the pathway is thought to involve the BDNF-mediated activation of ERK1/2, which in turn activates MSK, another kinase enzyme. MSK-mediated phosphorylation of a serine residue on CREB may then enhance production of miR-132. MSK knockout mice still produce miR-132 in response to BDNF, but at a significantly lower level, indicating that there may be an alternative pathway operating. Activators of CREB phosphorylation, for instance forskolin, can also enhance miR-132 production in vitro. Neuronal stimulation is thought to increase the levels of miR-132 in the brain. One example is in the superchiasmatic nucleus, where miR-132 is thought be involved in resetting the circadian clock in response to light. miR-132 levels are increased post-seizure, which strongly suggests a link with neuronal activation.
