Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA 2020 AugPrevious studies reported perturbed expressing of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) under lead (Pb) exposure. However, researches on XIAP expression mainly focused on its transcriptional and post-translational regulation, rarely involving post-transcriptional mechanism manipulated by certain indispensable microRNAs (miRNAs). Interestingly, we unveiled that miR-106b-5p, a widely expressed miRNA in various tissues, is up-regulated by Pb2+-induced stress. Moreover, we found a binding site for miR-106b-5p in the 3'-UTR of xiap mRNA using bioinformatics analysis, and provided the evidences that miR-106b-5p can interact and function with this regulatory region via luciferase reporter assay. Our results further showed that miR-106b-5p down-regulates XIAP protein level, and suppression of miR-106b-5p reverses the decrease in both XIAP level and cell viability in Pb2+-treated HT-22 and PC12 cells. In brief, we identified a novel function of miR-106b-5p in the post-transcriptional regulation of XIAP expression associated with Pb neurotoxicity. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
