MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-protein coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. The tumor suppressor miRNA let-7a has been reported to be inhibited post-transcriptionally in embryonic stem cells and in human cancers. The microtubule-associated kinase DCAMKL-1 is a putative intestinal stem cell marker that is expressed in ApcMin/+ adenomas. We investigated the role of DCAMKL-1 on expression of let-7a miRNA and the oncogene c-Myc and in tumorigenesis. Immunostaining for DCAMKL-1 was performed on human tissue microarray slides. HCT116 and SW480 cells were transfected with DCAMKL-1 small interfering (si)RNA and analyzed for DCAMKL-1, c-Myc (using immunoblot and real-time RT-PCR) and pri-let-7a miRNA (using real-time RT-PCR) levels. A liposomal preparation of DCAMKL-1 siRNA was administered into HCT116 xenografts in nude mice and tumor volumes were measured. A luciferase reporter assay, with a plasmid containing a let-7a binding site at the 3’ UTR, was utilized to measure let-7a in cell lines. Cells were isolated from normal mouse intestine using DCAMKL-1 and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and subjected to pri-let-7a miRNA analysis. Expression of DCAMKL-1 was increased in human colorectal cancers. siRNA-mediated blockade of DCAMKL-1 resulted in HCT116 tumor xenograft growth arrest, increased levels of pri-let-7a miRNA, a corresponding decrease in luciferase activity, as well as decreased expression of the oncogene c-Myc. DCAMKL-1+ cells isolated by FACS demonstrated a significant decrease in pri-let-7a miRNA, compared to more-differentiated cells. DCAMKL-1 is a negative regulator of let-7a miRNA biogenesis in intestinal stem and colorectal cancer cells; it could represent a novel target for anti-cancer stem cell-based strategies.
