MicroRNAs work to.... control patterns of alternative splicing increase rates of transcription decrease the binding of ribosomes to the 5' cap destroy mRNA or block its translation For KO versus wild-type analysis, a linear model was used for each condition in limma and significant changes in stability are based on the interaction term. Furthermore, experiments using miRNA reporters to examine the kinetics of miRNA repression suggest that translational repression precedes mRNA destabilization (Béthune et al., 2012; Djuranovic et al., 2012). false. We have revisited these papers and have expanded our discussion to better discuss the previous literature regarding the role of DDX6 in the translational repression of miRNA reporters and the interaction of DDX6 with the CCR4-NOT complex. Although not directly measured, protein levels of miRNA targets are likely higher in Dgcr8 KO cells than in Ddx6 KO cells as the former leads to both mRNA stabilization and translational derepression of miRNA targets, while the later only influences translation (Figure 5D). These data show that the loss of DDX6 can separate the two canonical functions of microRNAs: translational repression and transcript destabilization. miRNAs repress target gene expression in two main manners, mRNA degradation and translation inhibition. n = 6 for wild-type cells, n = 12 for Ddx6 KO (six replicates of each Ddx6 KO line). 2006;71:523-30. doi: 10.1101/sqb.2006.71.013. We thank the following people for critical reading of the manuscript: Marco Conti, Stephen Floor, Raga Krishnakumar, Brian DeVeale, and Deniz Goekbuget. However, within self-renewing ESCs there was a wide range of mRNA stabilities. Unlike its yeast homolog, DDX6 did not appear to play a general role in linking the two. We found a positive correlation between mRNA stability and translation levels/efficiency in ESCs, similar to what other groups have observed recently in yeast (Chan and Mugler, 2017; Heyer and Moore, 2016; Presnyak et al., 2015). Our results suggest that cohesin mutations could progress oncogenesis by enhancing Wnt signaling, and that targeting the Wnt pathway may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for cohesin-mutant cancers. Conversely, treatment with cycloheximide, which blocks ribosome elongation, stabilizes mRNAs (Beelman and Parker, 1994; Chan and Mugler, 2017; Huch and Nissan, 2014). Mammalian mRNAs display a wide range of half-lives ranging from minutes to over a day (Schwanhäusser et al., 2011). It has been suggested that translational repression of miRNA targets is the cause of mRNA destabilization or is at least a prerequisite (Radhakrishnan and Green, 2016). Cells were collected in RIPA buffer with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche). n = 3 for wild-type, n = 4 for Ddx6 KO (2 replicates of each Ddx6 KO line) (C) Expression of pluripotency genes in Ddx6 KO ESCs based on RNA-Seq. See also Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Therefore, the loss of DDX6 is able to separate the two central functions of miRNAs: translational repression and mRNA destabilization. Combined, these features explained 25% of the variation in mRNA stability. Until recently, it was believed this mechanism operated almost exclusively at a step in translation. miRNAs function posttranscriptionally by usually base-pairing to the mRNA 3′-untranslated regions to repress protein synthesis by mechanisms that are not fully understood. Therefore, DDX6 likely interacts with additional unknown factors to inhibit translation initiation. DDX6 has been implicated as an effector of miRNA activity (Chen et al., 2014; Chu and Rana, 2006; Mathys et al., 2014; Rouya et al., 2014). Unfortunately, tRNA abundance data does not exist for ESCs making it impossible to definitively assign codons/tRNA as rare or not in ESCs. The impact of miRNAs on the translation of endogenous transcripts has been measured using ribosome profiling, which measures the ratio of ribosome protected fragments to input mRNA (this ratio is termed translational efficiency). 2020 Nov;57(11):4856-4877. doi: 10.1007/s12035-020-02074-2. Whether translational repression or mRNA destabilization is the predominant effect of miRNAs is controversial as it is difficult to separate the two (Iwakawa and Tomari, 2015; Jonas and Izaurralde, 2015). Using RNA-Seq, metabolic labeling (4sU-Seq), and ribosome profiling, we found that most changes during ESC differentiation are driven at the level of transcription. Using this system, we characterized the changes in mRNA expression, mRNA stability, and translation that occur during the transition. Or, give some information about which codons/tRNA are rare and which are not. miRNAs function posttranscriptionally by usually base-pairing to the mRNA 3′-untranslated regions to repress protein synthesis by mechanisms that are not fully understood. Indeed, fold changes in total mRNA levels correlated extremely well with fold changes in 4sU-labeled nascent transcripts (Spearman’s rho 0.88; p<2.22*10−16) (Figure 1D). These studies found that the DDX6 RecA domain directly interacts with the CNOT1 MIF4G domain (Chen et al., 2014; Mathys et al., 2014; Rouya et al., 2014). It has been suggested that up to 70% of the molecular changes during mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation are due to post-transcriptional regulation (Lu et al., 2009). A lightly edited version of the letter sent to the authors after peer review is shown, indicating the most substantive concerns; minor comments are not usually included. The regulation occurs posttranscriptionally and involves the approximately 21-nucleotide miRNA interacting with a target site in the mRNA that generally has imperfect complementarity to the miRNA. We thank the reviewers for their interest and helpful suggestions. Two different knockout clones were picked and used for all subsequent analysis. MicroRNAs form a class of short, non-coding RNA molecules which are essential for proper development in tissue-based plants and animals. We also acknowledge Indiana University for access to their Mason cluster of computers, supported by the National Science Foundation (DBI #1458641). MicroRNAs have emerged as important post-transcriptional regulators of lipid metabolism, ... By altering mRNA stability and/or repressing mRNA translation, microRNAs represent an additional layer above transcriptional control for both fine-tuning and dramatically altering cell ... and an increase in the rate of fatty acid β-oxidation . Together, these data show an important role for DDX6 in the formation and/or maintenance of P-bodies and in retaining normal cell morphology and proliferation. The wide range of mRNA stabilities are regulated by both intrinsic sequence features as well as the binding of regulatory factors such as microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (Cheng et al., 2017; Hasan et al., 2014; Wu and Brewer, 2012). ... b. the action of RNA-protein complexes that inhibit translation by altering the three dimensional configuration of rRNA molecules. However, the identity and how such features and regulatory factors impact mRNA stability are not well understood. The loss of DGCR8 also resulted in an increase in the translation levels of ESCC miRNA targets independent of its effect on stability, consistent with miRNAs both inhibiting translation and destabilizing transcripts (Figure 4C). Adapters were trimmed using cutadapt version 1.14 with the following settings: --minimum-length 26 --maximum-length 32 for the ribosome protected fragments or --minimum-length 32 for the total RNA. RNA was extracted from gradient fractions with TRIzol LS (Invitrogen) and concentrated with the Zymo Clean and Concentrator-5 kit (Zymo) prior to library preparation with the QuantSeq 3’ FWD kit (Lexogen). Arthritis Res Ther. * indicates p<0.05 using a t-test, error bars are standard deviation. Tabatabaeian H, Rao A, Ramos A, Chu T, Sudol M, Lim YP. We are not aware of complications of the interpretation of our translational efficiency data; if the reviewers think we are missing something we would be happy to take it into account. They were not (Figure 4—figure supplement 1B). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that extensively regulate gene expression in animals, plants, and protozoa. Function and localization of microRNAs in mammalian cells. We calculated translation using the ratio of RPF/mRNA, also known as translational efficiency (Ingolia et al., 2011). Each of these features and mRNA stability were used in a multiple linear regression using the lm function in R version 3.4.2. To validate these findings, a subset of genes spanning a range of stabilities were measured using an alternative method where transcription was blocked with actinomycin D and mRNA levels followed over a time course by RT-qPCR (Figure 1—figure supplement 1B and C). Although there were minimal changes in mRNA stability during the ESC to EpiLC transition, there was a wide range of mRNA stabilities within ESCs. In addition, miRNAs generally induce a smaller degree of repression (around two to three times) compared with site-specific RNAi-based cleavage. microRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21 nucleotide (nt) small RNAs that impact numerous biological processes in diverse eukaryotes. This increased rate of deadenylation does not result from the diminished frequency of translation caused by miRNA binding. That is, the number of protein molecules made per target transcript is increased, while the transcript stability remains the same. The stAI metric takes into account tRNA copy number and a tRNA’s ability to wobble base pair with different codons (Radhakrishnan et al., 2016; Sabi and Tuller, 2014). (G) Growth curves of wild-type and Ddx6 KO ESCs in ESC maintenance conditions (LIF/2i). In order to generate EpiLCs, 400,000 ESCs were plated in a 15 cm plate; 24 hr later LIF/2i media was removed, cells were washed with PBS, and EpiLCs were collected ~56 hr later (Krishnakumar et al., 2016). Moreover, Wnt activity is enhanced in zebrafish mutant for cohesin subunits stag2b and rad21. As expected, the ESCC targets are stabilized relative to all genes in the Dgcr8 KO cells (Figure 4A). (A) The distribution of mRNA stabilities in ESCs. These data suggest that, while miRNAs are strong destabilizers, they can only explain a small portion of the large range of mRNA stabilities seen in the cells. While both ribosome profiling and polysome profiling measure global levels of translation, polysome profiling can be a more sensitive measure of translational regulation (Heyer and Moore, 2016). 2) There is a confusing aspect in that the authors report upregulation in translation of miRNA targets without an increase in mRNA stability; this is mechanistically counterintuitive. QuantSeq 3’ end counting was used for polysome profiling samples as well as matched wild-type, Ddx6 KO, and Dgcr8 KO mRNA samples (Figure 5C). (A–D) mRNA stability or translation level changes of ESCC miRNA targets versus all mRNAs. Repressed target mRNAs as well as miRNAs themselves accumulate in cytoplasmic foci known as P-bodies, where many enzymes involved in mRNA degradation are concentrated. These findings suggested a direct link between translation level and mRNA stability. RFP/GFP ratios were standardized between days to accounts for differences in laser power. MiRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that bind to the 3’ UTR of their target transcripts to inhibit translation and/or induce mRNA destabilization (Fabian and Sonenberg, 2012; Jonas and Izaurralde, 2015). (2013). It was recently shown that DDX6 interacts with 4E-T, which competes with eIF4G for binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E and leads to translational repression (Kamenska et al., 2016; Ozgur et al., 2015). Flow cytometry analysis of cells expressing the reporter showed that the RFP/GFP ratio correlated well with the mRNA stability of the matching endogenous genes as measured by 4sU-Seq (Figure 2D). Ribosome profiling libraries were generated using the TruSeq Ribosome Profiling kit (Illumina) and sequenced with single-end 50 bp reads. Conversely, although poly (A) removal appears to be a key step in miRNA-mediated mRNA decay, a poly (A) tail is not required for translational repression by miRNAs. Therefore, we measured and analyzed changes in mRNA stability and translational efficiency during ESC differentiation. an activator exerting positive control. Transcripts showed a wide range of stabilities, which correlated with their relative translation levels and that did not change during early ESC differentiation. They generally bind to the 3'-UTR (untranslated region) of their target mRNAs and repress protein production by destabilizing the mRNA and translational silencing. 3’ UTR length had the greatest impact and was negatively correlated with mRNA stability (Spearman’s rho −0.3; p<2.22*10−16) (Figure 2C). Epub 2010 Apr 21. 2005 Nov 22;102(47):16961-6. doi: 10.1073/pnas.0506482102. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that extensively regulate gene expression in animals, plants, and protozoa. We have now clarified this issue in the text. The need to locate first one and then another tRNA for that amino acid slows down the rate of translation. The exact mechanism of … Therefore, DDX6 does not appear to play a major role in transcript destabilization downstream of miRNAs. One process that is intimately linked to mRNA stability is translation (Roy and Jacobson, 2013). This data provides very strong support to the notion that translational repression by miRNAs may represent a decisive factor explaining their biological function (at least in ESCs), and that DDX6 is a major mediator of the translational repression by miRNAs. Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol. The mammalian homolog of DHH1, DDX6, has been shown to associate with both the mRNA decapping and deadenylation complex, also consistent with a potential link between mRNA stability and translation (Chen et al., 2014; Mathys et al., 2014; Rouya et al., 2014). These conditions are associated with a heterogeneous population of cells (Ivanova et al., 2006). A/B) mRNA stability changes in Dgcr8 KO (A) or Ddx6 KO (B) cells. NLM This is in contrast to endogenous miRNA targets that can be deadenylated and degraded. Indeed, Dgcr8 KO and Ddx6 KO affected the translation levels of individual targets to a similar extent (Figure 4E). A comparison of the predictive performance of eighteen in … Behm-Ansmant I, Rehwinkel J, Izaurralde E. Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol. Reporters were transfected into ESCs using Fugene 6 (Promega). Significant changes are shown as red dots (Adjusted p value < 0.05 and |log2 fold change| > 1) in B, C, E. Dashed lines indicated a twofold change. The Ddx6 knockout cells were phenotypically and molecularly similar to cells lacking all microRNAs (Dgcr8 knockout ESCs). To validate the impact of 3’ UTRs on mRNA stability, we used a dual reporter system that contains a control GFP for normalization and a RFP with a cloned endogenous 3’ UTR from 12 representative genes (Figure 2D) (Chaudhury et al., 2014). Strikingly, while there was little correlation in changes in mRNA stability, changes in both mRNA and translation levels were well correlated (Figure 5). Given that the Ddx6 KO cells retained mRNA destabilization, while losing translational repression of miRNA targets, we asked how well derepression of translation matches the downstream consequences of losing all miRNAs. Ian G. Cannell1,YiWenKong1 and Martin Bushell2 School of Pharmacy, Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD, U.K. Abstract miRNAs (microRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Quality control mechanisms such as nonsense mediated decay, no go decay, and non-stop decay sense aberrant translation and lead to mRNA degradation (Parker, 2012; Shoemaker and Green, 2012). Furthermore, DDX6 binds to components of the decapping complex, but exactly how this impacts translation and mRNA stability is unclear (Ayache et al., 2015; Nissan et al., 2010; Tritschler et al., 2009). All downstream analyses were performed in R version 3.4.2 and plotted with ggplot2 version 2.2.1. All duplicate references have been removed. Cells were incubated with goat 488 secondary for 1 hr at room temperature. (2014). What type of regulatory transcription factor binds DNA and increases the transcription of a gene? RNA-Seq showed 1890 genes significantly upregulated and 1532 genes significantly downregulated during the ESC to EpiLC transition (Figure 1B and F). Significant differences in codon frequency were calculated using the Mann–Whitney test followed by Bonferroni correction. The ESCC family of miRNAs represent a predominant fraction of all miRNAs in ESCs (Greve et al., 2013; Houbaviy et al., 2003; Marson et al., 2008; Melton et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2008). Changes in translation level alone in Ddx6 KO cells produce similar phenotypes and global molecular changes to Dgcr8 KO cells. This project was funded by the National Institutes of Health (R01 GM101180, R01 GM122439) to RB, and a Genentech Predoctoral Research Fellowship to JWF. As expected, ESCC miRNA targets as a group were significantly less stable than all genes (p<2.22*10−16, Mann-Whitney test) (Figure 2—figure supplement 1A). We measured translational efficiency, but not post-translational events; therefore, it remains plausible that protein degradation rates or protein localization are dynamic during ESC differentiation. This section now reads: “This situation has been observed for synthetic miRNA reporters that cannot undergo deadenylation and subsequent degradation but can still be translationally repressed (Kuzuoğlu-Öztürk et al., 2016). USA.gov. In yeast, the protein DHH1 has been shown to link translation to mRNA stability through codon optimality (Radhakrishnan et al., 2016). n = 3 for wild-type, n = 4 for Ddx6 KO (2 replicates of each Ddx6 KO line), n = 3 for Dgcr8 KO. In this study, we sought to uncover how mRNA stability and translation are regulated within the ESC state and during differentiation. Interestingly, analysis of the 4sU-Seq data showed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were significantly less stable than protein coding genes (p<2.22*10−16, Mann-Whitney test) (Figure 2E). RNA is transcribed, but must be processed into a mature form before translation can begin. (D) Brightfield images of wild-type and Ddx6 KO ESCs. Later in 1987, the same group found that a mutation in lin-4 had an opposite phenotype to a mutation in another gene, … Therefore, we next asked whether DDX6 may provide a mechanistic link for the relationship between translation and mRNA stability in ESCs. Cells were blocked with 2% BSA and 1% goat serum in PBST. However, its loss did lead to the translational upregulation of miRNA targets with little associated changes in mRNA stability. For example, between the 25th and 75th percentile of mRNA stability, there was a 3.2-fold difference in stability and between the top and bottom 1% of mRNA stability there was over a 64-fold difference (Figure 2A). Years before, lin-4 was characterized by the Horvitz's lab as one of the genes that regulate temporal development of C. elegans larvae (3, 4). Future studies will likely identify factors that can decouple translational repression and mRNA destabilization in the other direction so that miRNA targets are translationally repressed without inducing mRNA destabilization. These studies raise the question of whether translational repression is the direct mode of miRNA-driven suppression with mRNA destabilization being a secondary consequence. These proteins have been implicated in both translational repression and mRNA destabilization, suggesting that they may link these two processes (Coller and Parker, 2005; Presnyak and Coller, 2013). Metazoan miRNAs were previously thought to down-regulate protein expression by inhibiting target mRNA translation at some stage after the translation initiation step, without much effect on mRNA abundance. This result suggested a strong role for translation in regulating RNA stability in ESCs. 4sU versus total RNA) and cell type (e.g. Previous work suggested that up to 70% of the molecular changes that occur during early ESC differentiation are due to post-transcriptional events (Lu et al., 2009). The transfection of miR-34c mimics in H9c2 showed a statistically significant decrease of Sipa1 mRNA, as the transfection of miR-34c hairpin inhibitor (HI) showed a statistically significant increase of Sipa1 mRNA ( Figure 5C ). A two-part list of links to download the article, or parts of the article, in various formats. How can an mRNA that is being destabilized have higher rates of translation? We have added statistical significance for differences in codon frequency using the Mann–Whitney test followed by Bonferroni correction. The difference may be explained by the different approaches used and the fact that Lemischka and colleagues focused their analysis on nuclear protein changes. KO versus wild-type); significant changes in stability or translation are based on the interaction term. (E) MA plot of translational efficiency (TE) changes during the ESC to EpiLC transition. Protein was run on a 4–15% gel (Bio-Rad) then transferred onto a PVDF membrane. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is the predominant pathway that repairs DNA double-strand breaks in vertebrates. However, in other studies, it has been suggested that miRNAs primarily inhibit translation. Solving for this equation, degradation rates can be calculated using a production rate (in this case nascent RNA transcription as measured by 4sU incorporation) and the concentration of total mRNA in the cell (as measured by total RNA-Seq). Direct tethering of DDX6 represses translation of a reporter and this repression is only mildly disrupted by mutations that prevent DDX6 from interacting with CNOT1 suggesting that DDX6 acts downstream of the CCR4-NOT complex (Kuzuoğlu-Öztürk et al., 2016).

RNA-Seq libraries were generated using the QuantSeq 3’ FWD kit (Lexogen) and sequenced with single-end 50 bp reads. At the start of translation, two or more of a set of synonymous codons (e.g., the 6 codons that incorporate leucine in the growing protein) are used alternately. 4) Subsection “There is a wide range of RNA stabilities which are positively correlated with translation in ESCs”. Genes were cloned into the pBUTR (piggyBac-based 3′ UnTranslated Region reporter) using gateway cloning as outlined in Chaudhury et al. Log10(3’ UTR length) was then compared to log2 relative mRNA stability. We apologize for this oversight. For samples with multiple comparisons, a linear model was used for each condition in limma taking into account assay type (e.g. To analyze differences in codon usage between stable and unstable genes, codon usage frequency was calculated for genes in the top 20% (stable) and bottom 20% (unstable) in terms of wild-type mRNA stability. Bhatti JS, Bhatti GK, Khullar N, Reddy AP, Reddy PH. ... All of the choices are correct. Reads were mapped with STAR version 2.5.3a to the mm10/Gencode M14 genome with the following settings: --outFilterMultimapNmax 1 --outFilterMismatchNoverReadLmax 0.05 --seedSearchStartLmax 13 --winAnchorMultimapNmax 200. To identify which features had the greatest impact on stability, we analyzed the correlation between each individual feature and mRNA stability (Figure 2B). Additionally, the authors find that during ESC differentiation transcriptional changes drive gene expression changes, which contrasts with conclusions from previous studies performed in Lemischa's lab. To revisit this question, we turned to a reporter system and an optimized differentiation protocol that enables the homogenous differentiation of naive ESCs to formative epiblast like cells (EpiLC), which is representative of the transition from the pre- to post-implantation epiblast in vivo (Chen et al., 2018; Krishnakumar et al., 2016; Parchem et al., 2014) (Figure 1A). COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. Although the underlying sequence of the tail can be varied, a minimal tail length is required for NHEJ. As expected, RPFs showed a strong three nucleotide phasing of reads that was not present in the mRNA samples, confirming the quality of the data (Figure 1—figure supplement 1E). The relative stabilities predicted by the two approaches were highly correlated. This may aid in keeping ribosomes from bumping into each other on the polysome. Nascent transcriptional changes between Ddx6 KO and Dgcr8 KO measured by 4sU-Seq are also well correlated (Figure 5—figure supplement 1A) showing that the correlation in mRNA changes is due to transcriptional changes, likely secondary to the direct effects of Ddx6 and Dgcr8 loss on the translation of transcriptional regulators. The accession number for the sequencing data reported in this paper is GEO: GSE112767. Yet, both knockout lines lead to similar morphology and proliferation defects as well as similar downstream molecular changes. (B) Ddx6 counts per million (CPM) in nascent mRNA (4sU) or mRNA in wild-type (WT) and Ddx6 KO cells. We demonstrate that the XLF tail along with the Ku-binding motif (KBM) at the extreme C-terminus are required for end joining. Therefore, we next asked whether Ddx6 KO cells have similar downstream molecular consequences as Dgcr8 KO cells. The target sites are almost invariably in the 3'-untranslated region of the messenger RNA (mRNA), often in multiple copies. We have clarified these points in the text. They some stage after the translation initiation step, with-out much effect on mRNA abundance. The emergence of small RNA-mediated gene silencing preceded the onset of multicellularity and was followed by a drastic expansion of the miRNA repertoire in conjunction with the evolution of complexity in the plant and animal kingdoms. However, there was minimal correlation between mRNA stability changes in Ddx6 KO ESCs and wild-type translation levels (Spearman’s rho −0.11; p<2.22*10−16) (Figure 4—figure supplement 1A). For each gene, the APPRIS principle isoform was used to calculate codon usage frequency. It is not fully understood how DDX6 directly represses translation of miRNA targets or if it recruits additional effector molecules. These data show that DDX6 is an essential effector for miRNA-driven translational repression, but not mRNA destabilization. HHS This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Therefore, codon optimality may in part explain the link between translation levels and mRNA stability. There has been extensive debate about whether miRNAs primarily inhibit translation or induce destabilization of their target transcripts (Iwakawa and Tomari, 2015; Jonas and Izaurralde, 2015). Reads were mapped with STAR version 2.5.3a (Dobin et al., 2013) to the mm10/Gencode M14 genome with the following settings: --outFilterMultimapNmax 1 --outFilterMismatchNoverReadLmax 0.05 --seedSearchStartLmax 25 --winAnchorMultimapNmax 100. However, these same targets showed little change in mRNA stability in the Ddx6 KO cells (Figure 4B). The paper would be strengthened by additional work and better explanation some of the data as follows: 1) The authors frequently note that lower mRNA stability is related to the lower translation efficiency. These stability differences correlated with translation levels. 6) Subsection “Translational repression alone underlies many of the downstream molecular changes associated with miRNA loss”. Recent reports suggest that differential codon usage is a central mechanism in linking translation to mRNA stability (Bazzini et al., 2016; Chan and Mugler, 2017; Cheng et al., 2017; Mishima and Tomari, 2016; Presnyak et al., 2015). Recent progress on the role of miR-140 in cartilage matrix remodelling and its implications for osteoarthritis treatment. See also Figure 4—figure supplement 1. Here, we studied these mechanisms in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In ESCs, the embryonic stem-cell-enriched cell cycle (ESCC) family of miRNAs represent a predominant fraction of all miRNAs in ESCs (Greve et al., 2013; Houbaviy et al., 2003; Marson et al., 2008).
