Mice harboring c-Myb hypomorphic mutations display enhanced thrombopoiesis because of increased numbers of megakaryocytes and their progenitors. Thrombopoietin induces these same effects, which lead us to hypothesize that the hormone acts through modulation of c-Myb expression, as c-Myb levels falls during thrombopoietin-induced MK maturation. Micro RNAs (miRs) down-regulate gene expression by binding to the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of specific mRNAs; we noted that the 3′UTR of c-Myb contains four miR-150 binding sites. We used quantitative RT-PCR, western blotting and reporter gene analyses to assess the response of c-Myb to thrombopoietin stimulation and to gain of- and loss of-miR-150 expression. We found that thrombopoietin reduced c-Myb mRNA and protein levels within 7 hr in megakaryocytes and UT7/TPO cells. Using a reporter gene containing the c-Myb 3′UTR region, including its 4 miR150 binding sites, we found that expression of miR150 reduced luciferase expression to 50% of baseline at 24 hr and to 25% at 48 hr in UT7/TPO cells. Quantitative-PCR and western blotting also revealed that miR-150 reduced endogenous c-Myb mRNA and protein to 50% in UT7/TPO cells, and to 65% in mature megakaryocytes. Converse experiments utilizing anti-miR150 increased luciferase activity 2-fold over control anti-miR. Finally, thrombopoietin increased miR150 expression 1.8-fold within 24 hr and 3.4-fold within 48 hr. These findings establish that miR150 down-modulates c-Myb levels, and since thrombopoietin affects miR150 expression, our results indicate that in addition to affecting MK progenitor cell growth, thrombopoietin down-modulates c-Myb expression through the induction of miR-150.
