Background: MicroRNA-133b (miR-133b) has been shown to play a critical role in spinal cord regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the cellular role of miR-133b in neural cells. Methods: PC12 cells and primary cortical neurons (PCNs) were transfected with lenti-miR-133b, lenti-miR-133b inhibitor, plasmid-shRNA-RhoA, plasmid-RhoA and their negative controls. After 48 hours of transfection, the levels of proteins and mRNA or miRNA were evaluated by Western blotting and qRT-PCR, respectively. Moreover, the neurite outgrowth was analyzed by Image J. For pharmacological experiments, inhibitors of MEK1/2 kinase (PD98059), phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) (LY294002) and ROCK (Y27632) were added into the culture medium. Results: Overexpression of miR-133b in PC12 cells enhanced neurite outgrowth. Conversely, inhibition of miR-133b reduced neurite length. We further identified RhoA as a target and mediator of mir-133b for neurite extension by Western blot and knockdown experiment. Moreover, overexpression of RhoA could attenuate the neurite growth effects of miR-133b. Also, we observed that miR-133b activated MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by targeting RhoA. Finally, in PCNs, miR-133b also increased axon growth and attenuated axon growth restrictions from chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG). Conclusions: In summary, our study suggested that miR-133b regulated neurite outgrowth via ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by RhoA suppression.

Seizure-related gene 6 (sez-6) was originally identified in a study of pentylenetetrazoletreated cortical neurons. Further studies on the structure and expression pattern suggested that Sez-6 may play an important role in neuronal development and function. In the present study, PC12 cells were used as a model to investigate the role of Sez-6 in neurite outgrowth. After a period of NGF treatment, the expression of Sez-6 in PC12 cells was increased. When Sez-6 expression was suppressed by the addition of an effective short hairpin RNA ( shRNA) plasmid, the neurite outgrowth was significantly inhibited. In addition, we detected the expression level of protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ), and found that the PKCγ protein level was reduced in the differentiated PC12 cells but increased in PC12 cells lacking Sez-6. Taken together, our results indicate that Sez-6 acts on the neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells likely through the PKCγ signaling pathways
