摘要

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to be essential for retinal maturation and functionality; however, the role of the most abundant miRNAs, the miR-183/96/182 cluster (miR-183 cluster), in photoreceptor cells remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that ablation of two components of the miR-183 cluster, miR-183 and miR-96, significantly affects photoreceptor maturation and maintenance in mice. Morphologically, early-onset dislocated cone nuclei, shortened outer segments and thinned outer nuclear layers are observed in the miR-183/96 double-knockout (DKO) mice. Abnormal photoreceptor responses, including abolished photopic electroretinography (ERG) responses and compromised scotopic ERG responses, reflect the functional changes in the degenerated retina. We further identify Slc6a6 as the cotarget of miR-183 and miR-96. The expression level of Slc6a6 is significantly higher in the DKO mice than in the wild-type mice. In contrast, Slc6a6 is down-regulated by adeno-associated virus-mediated overexpression of either miR-183 or miR96 in wild-typemice. Remarkably, both silencing and overexpression of Slc6a6 in the retina are detrimental to the electrophysiological activity of the photoreceptors in response to dim light stimuli. We demonstrate that miR-183/96-mediated fine-tuning of Slc6a6 expression is indispensable for photoreceptor maturation and maintenance, thereby providing insight into the epigenetic regulation of photoreceptors in mice.
