Furthermore, a recent study suggests that the expression of certain miRNAs is differentially regulated by starvation-induced dauer diapause (15). Consistent with these ideas, several recent lines of evidence suggest that miRNA let-7 and the heterochronic genes lin-42 and hbl-1 are required to regulate the starvation-induced dauer diapause (10–12) and that a number of miRNAs including lin-4 and mir-71 are involved in regulating life span (13, 14). Furthermore, worms that are long-lived due to dietary restriction or decreased mitochondrial respiratory rates are short-lived during L1 diapause, suggesting that the mechanisms controlling L1 starvation survival are different at least in some aspects from those controlling aging (3).
It is also worth mentioning that multiple components of the InsR pathway, including age-1, pdk-1, akt-2, and daf-16, are predicted to be targets of the let-7 family miRNAs. Our data provide the experimental evidence that two components of the InsR pathway are likely direct targets of miR-71 in its role in a specific physiological process, L1 diapause (see a model in Fig. S5). Components of the InsR pathway, including age-1, have recently been predicted to be targets of miR-71 in its role in aging (14). These results compelled us to examine specific interactions between individual miRNAs and their targets to gain mechanistic insights. This result suggests that miR-71 likely functions upstream of, or in parallel to, HBL-1 in regulating VPC timing.

  • We found that the reduced survival rate of ain-1 was suppressed by either reduction of age-1 function or loss of unc-31 function (Fig. 1 B and C), suggesting that a significant portion of the overall miRNA functions in L1 diapause is upstream of, or in parallel to, the InsR pathway.
  • We provide evidence that miRNA miR-71 is not required for the animals’ entry into L1 diapause, but plays a critical role in long-term survival by repressing the expression of insulin receptor/PI3K pathway genes and genes acting downstream or in parallel to the pathway.
  • I was wondering if there is anyone who has not spent any money on the game lost their account.
  • Whereas the vulva of wild-type worms developed into the pyramidal stage (81 of 82 worms), the P6.p of mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant worms divided only once (83 of 89 worms).
  • The presented results indicate that interactions between multiple miRNAs and likely a large number of their mRNA targets in multiple pathways regulate the response to starvation-induced L1 diapause.

Intestinal miRNAs Play Critical Roles in L1 Starvation Survival.

(A) The mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant displayed severe reduction in L1 starvation survival rate, and the reduced survival rate of mir-71(lf) was suppressed by a reduction-of-function allele of age-1(hx546). (C) The reduced L1 starvation survival rate of ain-1(lf) mutants was significantly suppressed by a null allele of unc-31. Compromising overall miRNA function dramatically reduces the survival rate of L1 worms in starvation-induced diapause, and the effect can be significantly suppressed by an age-1/PI3K mutation.

  • In contrast, the nuclear-localized GFP expression under the control of the 3′UTR of age-1(Fig. 3 C and D) or unc-31 (Fig. 3 E and F) was strongly repressed in the control worms, but prominently derepressed in mir-71(lf) mutant worms.

Because the InsR pathway was previously shown to play a prominent role in L1 diapause (2, 3), we examined genetic interactions between miR-71 and different components of the InsR pathway.
