The polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) and 2 (PRC2) are two distinct polycomb group (PcG) proteins that maintain the stable silencing of specific sets of genes through chromatin modifications. Although the PRC2 component EZH2 has been known as an epigenetic regulator in promoting the proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), the regulatory network that controls this process remains largely unknown. Here we show that miR-203 is repressed by EZH2 in both embryonic and adult NSPCs. MiR-203 negatively regulates the proliferation of NSPCs. One of PRC1 components, Bmi1, is a downstream target of miR-203 in NSPCs. Conditional knockout of Ezh2 results in decreased proliferation ability of both embryonic and adult NSPCs. Meanwhile, ectopic overexpression of BMI1 rescues the proliferation defects exhibited by miR-203 overexpression or EZH2 deficiency in NSPCs. Therefore, this study provides evidence for coordinated function of the EZH2-miR-203-BMI1 regulatory axis that regulates the proliferation of NSPCs. MiR-203 is repressed by EZH2 in NSPCs MiR-203 negatively regulates the proliferation of NSPCs Bmi1 is a downstream target of miR-203 in NSPCs MiR-203 is a mediator between PRC2 and PRC1 that modulates the proliferation of NSPCs In this article, Chang-Mei Liu and colleagues show that miR-203 is a mediator between EZH2 and BMI1 that modulates the proliferation of NSPCs. As PcG proteins and microRNAs are usually co-expressed in many cell types or cancer tissues, such a complicated regulatory network might lead us to find new therapeutic strategies for diseases.
