In molecular biology mir-203 microRNA is a short non-coding RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms, such as translational repression and Argonaute-catalyzed mRNA cleavage[1][2]. miR-203 has been identified as a skin-specific miRNA, and it forms an expression gradient that defines the boundary between proliferative epidermal basal progenitors and terminally differentiating suprabasal cells[3]. It has also been found upregulated in psoriasis[4] and differentially expressed in some types of cancer[5][6].

Introduction

MicroRNAs are short (20-22nt), non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by pairing with their 3’ UTR and affecting their stability[4] or directing their silencing or degradation[1]. MicroRNAs are likely to play roles in most cellular processes, including proliferation, development, differentiation and apoptosis[5]. They are located in intergenic and intragenic regions, and are transcribed as pri-miRNA by Pol II or Pol III[4]. They then undergo extensive post-transcriptional modifications, starting with the processing of the pri-miRNA in the nucleus to generate a 70-100 nt long pre-miRNA by ribonucleases Drosha and DGCR8. This pre-miRNA is then transported out of the nucleus by Exportin-5, and is then further processed by Dicer into a mature 18-25 nt long double stranded microRNA[7]. The guide strand of the miRNA is then loaded into RISC (RNA-inducing silencing complex)[7] and is then able to pair with its target. The passenger strand, denoted by a star, is commonly degraded, though this is not always the case[8].

miR-203 is a microRNA that is specifically expressed in keratinocytes (the most abundant cell type in the epidermis) and in normal conditions promotes epidermal differentiation by restricting proliferative potential and inducing cell-cycle exit[3]. It does so by repressing p63, an essential regulator of stem cell maintenance in epithelial stratified tissues[3].


Localization

In humans, miR-203 is located in an intergenic region in 14q32.33. In mouse, it is found in chromosome 12[Ensemble].


Evidence

This miRNA was predicted using computational tools by comparison to mouse and tiger blowfish sequences. It has been validated in zebrafish and its expression confirmed in humans[9] [7].


Targets

miR-203 has one validated target, p63, conserved across vertebrate lineages. p63 is an essential regulator of stem cell maintenance in stratified epithelial tissues. Yi R et al.[3] confirmed p63 as a target of miR-203. They showed that miR-203 expression is conspicuous in terminally differentiating epithelial cells, but is not present on their proliferative progenitor compartments, and shows a mutually exclusive pattern of expression with p63. They also report downregulation of proteins downstream of p63, suggesting a mechanistic method for inhibition of proliferative potential of epidermal stem cells.

There is some controversy as to whether SOCS3 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 3) is also targeted by miR-203. In their study, AM Lena et al. (2008)[10] showed that, despite bioinformatic alignment of miR-203 with SOCS3 3'UTR, the levels of SOCS3 transcripts increased in keratinocytes stimulated to differentiate in vitro, in parallel with miR-203. Then they exogenously expressed miR-203 in mouse keratinocytes and showed that SOCS3 is not repressed by miR-203.

In contrast, T Wei et al. (2010)[11] validated SOCS3 as a target for miR-203. In their study, they introduced the SOCS3 3'UTR fragment encompassing the putative target site in a luciferase reporter vector, and they observed a significant decrease in luciferase activity when miR-203 was introduced compared to controls. They also generated a mutation in the binding site and reported restoration of luciferase activity, as well as mutually exclusive localization with miR-203. They concluded that SOCS3 is targeted by miR-203, and hypothesize that miR-203 regulation of SOCS3 and thus of Stat3 could have implications in keratinocyte functions.

Another putative target is ABL1, which is found activated in hematopoietic malignancies where miR-203 is epigenetically silenced by hypermethylation[12].


Foetal skin development

Yi R et al. showed that in mice, the expression of miR-203 is significantly upregulated between E13.5 and E15.5, suggesting that it may be absent from multipotent progenitors of single-layered epidermis, but is induced upon stratification and differentiation[3]. It also was expressed at high levels in differentiating cells such as hair follicles, epidermis and sebaceous glands.

Wei T et al.[11] demonstrated that in humans, miR-203 expression is first detectable at 17 weeks gestation in the suprabasal layers of epidermis, and this localization was conserved in the adult skin. When miR-203 is expressed prematurely, basal cells diminish their proliferative potential; and when it is absent, proliferation is no longer restricted to the basal layer of epidermis[13].


Role in carcinogenesis

miR-203 has been found overexpressed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and shows correlation with poor prognosis in patients that had underwent pancreatectomy, and has been suggested as a new prognostic marker for this disease [5][14]. Also, miR-203 has been identified as target of human papillomavirus (HPV) protein E7[6], which causes its downregulation and thus de-repression of p63 and its downstream targets, ensuring proliferative potential on the host cell, required for the virus to replicate. High levels of miR-203 are inhibitory of HPV amplification[6].

miR-203 has also been proposed as a tumour-suppresive microRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hematopoietic malignancies. In their study, Furuta M et al.[15] found miR-203, along with miR-124, epigenetically silenced in primary HCC tumours compared with non-tumorous liver tissues. Also, expression of miR-203 in HCC cells lacking their expression inhibited cell growth and downregulated a set of other possible targets. Bueno MJ et al.[12] also found silencing of miR-203 in some leukemias, as well as an inverse correlation between miR-203 and ABL1 levels (sometimes expressed as the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein). Supporting its role as a tumour suppresor, it has also been found upregulated upon UVC irradiation in the squamous cell carcinoma lines, suggesting a connection between miR-203 and the activation of the apoptotic program[10].


Role in psoriasis

Sonkoly E et al.[16] identified miR-203 as a psoriasis-specific microRNA when compared with healthy human skin or atopic eczema, and observed downregulation of SOCS3 concurrently with upregulation of miR-203 in psoriatic plaques, potentially having an effect in inflammatory responses.
