Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of motor neurons. A fundamental pathogenesis of ALS is the prolonged cell stress in neurons, which is caused by either accumulation of protein aggregates or reactive oxygen species. However, the mechanistic link between stress sensing and cell death is unsettled. Here, we identify thatmiR-183-5p, a neuron-enriched miRNA, couples stress sensing and cell death programming in ALS.miR-183-5pis immediately induced by hydrogen peroxide, tunicamycin or TNF-alpha in neurons. The overexpression ofmiR-183-5pincreases neuron survival under stress conditions, whereas its knockdown causes neuron death.miR-183-5pcoordinates apoptosis and necroptosis pathways by directly targetingPDCD4andRIPK3, and thus protects neurons against cell death under stress conditions. The consistent reduction ofmiR-183-5pin ALS patients and mouse models enhances the notion thatmiR-183-5pis a central regulator of motor neuron survival under stress conditions. Our study supplements current understanding of the mechanistic link between cell stress and death/survival, and provides novel targets for clinical interventions of ALS.
