Then, we used computational methods to predict potential target genes of mmu-miR-1971: we applied TargetScanMouse 6.2 [4] (53) and MirTarget2 [5] (54, 55); we included only those predicted target genes that were identified with both approaches into subsequent GO analysis by employing GenericGeneOntologyTermFinder [6] (56) and REViGO [7] (57) (Table 2). [score:9]
Taken together, target prediction and GO analyses revealed several predicted target genes of mmu-miR-1971 and several validated target genes mmu-miR-33-5p which might possibly be involved inter alia in PTSD pathobiology or fluoxetine -mediated alterations of molecular pathways. [score:7]
Finally, to get an idea of the potential role of mmu-miR-1971 and mmu-miR-33-5p in PTSD and of their general function, we performed an in silico analysis of target genes regulated by these two miRNA candidates: analysis performed with the miRWalk database [3] (52) revealed several validated target genes of mmu-miR-33-5p (Table 3), but none of mmu-miR-1971. [score:6]
However, GO analysis of predicted miR-1971 target genes allude that this above-average small (18nt) miRNA candidate might be involved inter alia in basic metabolic processes like heterocycle and organic substance metabolism (Table 2: p = 2.27E−06 and p = 3.73E−05, respectively); neurotransmitters like serotonin or modulators of the serotonergic tone might belong to the organic substances whose metabolism is targeted by miR-1971, but, however, our GO analysis provided no direct hint for this speculation. [score:6]
Our miRNA target prediction and GO analysis revealed that for miR-1971 no target genes have been validated so far (Table 2). [score:5]
Instead, in the only study reporting expression level changes of miR-1971 demonstrated that, in the bone marrow, miR-1971 was differentially expressed between patients suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and healthy donors (59). [score:5]
Here, we present the first study exploring miRNA expression profiles in a. In summary, we demonstrate that the therapeutic action of fluoxetine in shocked mice (Figure 1) is correlated with a significant reduction in prefrontal cortical mmu-miR-1971 expression levels on day 74 after shock exposure (Figures 1 and 5A). [score:5]
Taken together, microarray analyses revealed that, in shocked mice, on day 74 after subjection of mice to footshock, the therapeutic effect of fluoxetine (Figure 1) went along with a significant decrease in prefrontal cortical rno-miR-3559-3p and mmu-miR-1971 expression as well as with a trend of reduction in prefrontal cortical ebv-miR-BART8-3p and mmu-miR-1947-3p expression (Figure 3A). [score:5]
The molecular functions of predicted mmu-miR-1971 target genes are mainly associated with small molecule and nucleic acid binding (Table 2). [score:3]
Interestingly, we found that traumatic stress per se and fluoxetine treatment per se did not lead to significant alterations of mouse miRNA profiles on day 74 after trauma exposure (Figures 2 and 4) which suggests that fluoxetine interacts with traumatic stress to alter expression levels of mmu-miR-1971 and mmu-miR-33-5p (Figures 5A,C). [score:3]
Figure 5 RT-qPCR analysis confirmed that fluoxetine treatment alters the expression of mmu-miR-1971 and mmu-miR-33-5 in the PFC of shocked mice. [score:3]
Most important, we observed a statistically significant reduction in mmu-miR-1971 expression in the PFC of shock-fluoxetine mice in comparison to shock-vehicle mice (Figure 5A: Bonferroni posttest of shock-vehicle versus shock-fluoxetine: t = 2.509, p < 0.050). [score:3]
In summary, the most important conclusion of this study is that in the studied here, the therapeutic action of fluoxetine (Figure 1) is accompanied by a significant reduction in prefrontal cortical mmu-miR-1971 expression on day 74 after shock exposure (Figures 3A and 5B). [score:3]
RT-qPCR data do not allow the conclusion that fluoxetine rescues the footshock -induced increase in mmu-miR-1971 expression, since the latter failed to survive correction for multiple testing (Figure 5A). [score:3]
RT-qPCR data do not allow the conclusion that fluoxetine rescues the footshock -induced increase in mmu-miR-1971 expression, since the latter failed to survive statistical correction (Figure 5A). [score:3]
RT-qPCR analysis confirmed that fluoxetine treatment alters the expression of mmu-miR-1971 and mmu-miR-33-5p in the PFC of shocked mice. [score:3]
Hence, regulation and function of miR-1971 are largely unexplored yet and await further studies. [score:2]
Depicted are results of the RT-qPCR analysis of the relative expression levels of the candidate microRNAs mmu-miR-1971 (A), mmu-miR-1947-3p (B), and mmu-miR-33-5p (C) compared between the no-shock-vehicle, no-shock-fluoxetine, shock-vehicle, and shock-fluoxetine groups (n = 6 per group). [score:2]

Two out of the five array-identified miRNA candidates (rno-miR-3559-p, mmu-miR-1971, ebv-miR-BART8-3p, mmu-miR-1947-3p, mmu-miR-33-5p) could be validated by miRCURY LNA™ RT-qPCR: calculation of the statistical significance of RT-qPCR results with two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc correction confirmed a statistical trend toward a fluoxetine -mediated increase in prefrontal cortical mmu-miR-33-5p expression in shock-fluoxetine mice comparison to no-shock-fluoxetine mice (Figure 5C: Bonferroni posttest of shock-fluoxetine versus no-shock-fluoxetine: t = 2.205, p = 0.055).

However, to our knowledge, the in that study newly identified miRNA sequence, which was termed hsa-miR-1971 thereby representing it as the human homolog of murine mmu-miR-1971, is not annotated in miRBase 19.0. [score:1]
