Imprinted MicroRNA Gene Clusters in the Evolution, Development, and Functions of Mammalian Placenta

Abstract: In mammals, the expression of a subset of microRNA (miRNA) genes is governed by genomic imprinting, an epigenetic mechanism that confers monoallelic expression in a parent-of-origin manner. Three evolutionarily distinct genomic intervals contain the vast majority of imprinted miRNA genes: the rodent-specific, paternally expressed C2MC located in intron 10 of the Sfmbt2 gene, the primate-specific, paternally expressed C19MC positioned at human Chr.19q13.4 and the eutherian-specific, maternally expressed miRNAs … Show more

“…In addition to the identi cation of population and SON effects, our data allowed us to examine a wellcharacterized phenomenon of imprinted miRNA expression in the human placenta [31]. Previously reported imprinted expression of the miRNA cluster located on chromosome 19 (C19MC) [31,32] was also evident in our data. Previous work further linked the amplitude of the imprinting effect with the mother's BMI [48].…”

“…One of the characteristic features of placental miRNA is the prevalence of imprinted expression, a term referring to complete or partial suppression of one of the parental alleles [31]. To assess the extent of miRNA expression imprinting in our data, we focused on the largest characterized imprinted miRNA cluster, located on chromosome 19 (C19MC) and expressed almost exclusively in the placenta [32].…”

“…Considering the well-established role of C19MC in placental physiology regulating trophoblast differentiation and antiviral response [17], our results suggest a causal role of C19MC in the expressional perturbations noted.…”

“…In adult tissues, C19MC miRNAs are only expressed in the placenta [16], and therefore at least theoretically make an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. In the placenta, C19MC plays a pivotal role in trophoblast differentiation and migration as well as in providing resistance to viral infection [17].…”

“…The C19MC cluster, which encodes microRNAs, is paternally expressed in the trophoblast. Although these miRNAs are expressed in hESCs, expression is much higher in the trophoblast (Lee et al, 2016a;Malnou et al, 2019;Noguer-Dance et al, 2010). Apart from the C19MC cluster, several other genes that are involved in reproduction are located on chromosome 19q13.4 (Moffett and Colucci, 2015).…”
