MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which direct post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) and function in a vast range of biological events including cancer development. Most miRNAs pair to the target sites through seed region near the 5’ end, leading to mRNA cleavage and/or translation repression. Here, we demonstrated a miRNA-induced dual regulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) via seed region and non-seed region, consequently inhibited tumor growth of NSCLC. We identified miR-1254 as a negative regulator inhibiting HO-1 translation by directly targeting HO-1 3’UTR via its seed region, and suppressing HO-1 transcription via non-seed region-dependent inhibition of transcriptional factor AP-2 alpha (TFAP2A), a transcriptional activator of HO-1. MiR-1254 induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells by inhibiting the expression of HO-1, consequently suppressed NSCLC cell growth. Consistently with the in vitro studies, mouse xenograft studies validated that miR-1254 suppressed NSCLC tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, we found that HO-1 expression was inversely correlated with miR-1254 level in human NSCLC tumor samples and cell lines. Overall, these findings identify the dual inhibition of HO-1 by miR-1254 as a novel functional mechanism of miRNA, which results in a more effective inhibition of oncogenic mRNA, and leads to a tumor suppressive effect. It is generally accepted that miRNAs bind to 3`UTR of target mRNAs and direct post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) via its seed sequence. Here we report a new dual regulatory mechanism of miRNA. We described that miR-1254 repressed HO-1 at post-transcriptional level by directly targeting HO-1 3’UTR via its seed sequence and also inhibited HO-1 transcription by suppressing the transcriptional factor AP-2 alpha (TFAP2A) via its non-seed sequence. MiR-1254 induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells by inhibiting the expression of HO-1, consequently suppressed NSCLC cell growth. Moreover, in vivo mouse xenograft studies also supported the inhibitory effect of miR-1254 on NSCLC growth. These findings identify the dual regulation of miR-1254 on HO-1 as a novel functional mechanism of miRNA, which results in a more effective inhibition on the oncogenic mRNA, and leads to a suppressive effect on NSCLC growth, thus significantly advance our understanding of miRNA-directed gene regulation.
