TLDR
It is shown that claudin‐14 promoter activity and transcript are exclusively localized in the TAL, establishing a key regulatory role for claudIn‐14 in renal Ca++ homeostasis.Abstract:
The paracellular claudin channel of the thick ascending limb (TAL) of Henle is critical for Ca++ reabsorption in the kidney. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified claudin-14 associated with hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis. Here, we show that claudin-14 promoter activity and transcript are exclusively localized in the TAL. Under normal dietary condition, claudin-14 proteins are suppressed by two microRNA molecules (miR-9 and miR-374). Both microRNAs directly target the 3′-UTR of claudin-14 mRNA; induce its mRNA decay and translational repression in a synergistic manner. Through physical interaction, claudin-14 blocks the paracellular cation channel made of claudin-16 and -19, critical for Ca++ reabsorption in the TAL. The transcript and protein levels of claudin-14 are upregulated by high Ca++ diet, while downregulated by low Ca++ diet. Claudin-14 knockout animals develop hypermagnesaemia, hypomagnesiuria, and hypocalciuria under high Ca++ dietary condition. MiR-9 and miR-374 transcript levels are regulated by extracellular Ca++ in a reciprocal manner as claudin-14. The Ca++ sensing receptor (CaSR) acts upstream of the microRNA-claudin-14 axis. Together, these data have established a key regulatory role for claudin-14 in renal Ca++ homeostasis.read more

TL;DR: It is found that all five members of the microRNA-200 family were markedly downregulated in cells that had undergone EMT in response to transforming growth factor (TGF)-β or to ectopic expression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase Pez, suggesting that downregulation of themicroRNAs may be an important step in tumour progression.
