HspB1 is a small heat shock protein implicated in neuronal survival and neurite growth; mutations in HspB1 have been identified in hereditary motor neuronopathies and Charcot Marie Tooth Type 2 neuropathies. In cortical neurons we found that expression of HspB1 decreased RhoA activity and RhoA-GTP protein, and reversed the inhibition of neurite extension induced by NogoA. HspB1 decreased PDZ-RhoGEF, a RhoA specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor, while other regulators of RhoA activity were unchanged. The decrease in PDZ-RhoGEF was independent of proteasomal or lysosomal degradation pathways and was not associated with changes in PDZ-RhoGEF mRNA. We sequenced the 3’UTR of rat PDZ-RhoGEF and found binding sites for miRNAs miR-20a, miR-128 and miR-132. Expression of these microRNAs was substantially increased in cortical neurons transfected with HspB1. Co-transfection of HspB1 with specific inhibitors of miR-20a or miR-128 prevented the decrease in PDZ-RhoGEF and blocked the neurite growth promoting effects of HspB1. Using the 3'UTR of PDZ-RhoGEF mRNA in a luciferase reporter construct we observed that HspB1, miR-20a and miR-128 each inhibited luciferase expression. We conclude that HspB1 regulates RhoA activity through modulation of PDZ-RhoGEF levels achieved by translational control through enhanced expression of specific miRNAs (miR-20a and miR-128). Regulation of RhoA activity by translational silencing of PDZ-RhoGEF may be the mechanism through which HspB1 is involved in regulation of neurite growth. As RhoA-GTPase plays a regulatory role in the organization and stability of cytoskeletal networks through its downstream effectors, the results suggest a possible mechanism linking HspB1 mutations and axonal cytoskeletal pathology.
