    Techniques Used:

    The miR-466-669 cluster share sequence similarities. Sequences of mature miRNA from the miR-466-669 cluster were aligned using Clustal Omega. All mature sequences were initially aligned together and then were subdivided into 4 major groups which have high similarity. The highlighted nucleotides were used to derive the 4 consensus sequences (as light blue). An asterisk indicates the sequence identity among all miRNAs within the group.

    Expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) between control and arsenic exposure in differentiating P19 cells. P19 cells were induced to differentiate with or without 0.5 µM of arsenic for 9 days. MicroRNA expression was detected via a miRNA microarray and plotted as a heat map using CIM Miner (NIH). Darker shading indicates increased expression. Only statistically different miRNAs are listed in the map (Student’s t test; P value < .05).

    Validation of miRNA transcript levels by qPCR. Day 9 differentiated P19 cells were used to confirm miRNA expression by qPCR (n = 3 per treatment). Significantly changed miRNAs with known roles in development were examined, including miR-92a (A), miR-291a (B), miR-709 (C), miR-199a (D), and miR-9 (E). Expression values were normalized with U6 snRNA and fold differences calculated from control cells using the delta Ct method. Values are expressed as mean ± SD and statistical differences were determined by Student’s t test (*P < .05).

    Arsenic exposure induces members of the miR-466-669 cluster along with its host gene, Sfmbt2. P19 cells were differentiated and RNA was extracted from cells exposed to 0 or 0.5 μM arsenite on days 0, 2, 5, and 9 (n = 3 per treatment per day). MicroRNA or mRNA expression was determined by qPCR. Day 9 samples were used to determine the expression of miRNA-466-669 cluster genes (A) and the host gene Sfmbt2 (B). Samples from days 0, 2, 5, to 9 were used to determine the expression of miR-467d (C), miR-669p (D), and Sfmbt2 (E). Expression values were normalized with U6 snRNA for the miRNAs, and Gapdh for Sfmbt2. Fold changes were compared with unexposed cells, and time-dependent qPCR expression fold changes were compared with day 0 unexposed cells. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Statistical differences were determined by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test or by Student’s t test (*P < .05).

    Inhibiting the miR-466-669 cluster during differentiation rescues the morphological loss of neurons following arsenic exposure. P19 cells were transfected with 100 nM anti-miRNA oligonucleotides which target 4 consensus sequences of the miRNA-466-467-669 cluster. Cells were coexposed to 0 or 0.5 μM arsenic for the 5 days of embryoid body formation. Only the arsenic exposure was maintained for the entire 9 days of differentiation, after which cell morphology was observed. Transfections include oligonucleotides sequences that do not target any miRNAs, designated as negative control, (N.C.), and a mixed transfection that combined all consensus anti-miRNAs. Arrows indicate neuronal cells (A). The distance of cells differentiating away from the embryoid body was quantitated using ImageJ and is expressed in mm (n = 6 replicate embryoid bodies per group) (B). mRNA levels of the neuronal cell marker NeuroD1 on day 9 was assessed by qPCR (C). mRNA expression levels were normalized with Gapdh using the comparative delta Ct method. Fold changes were compared with N.C. anti-miRNA. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni (P < .05) was run to determine interactions and statistical differences between arsenic concentrations (*) and between the N.C. anti-miRNA and consensus anti-miRNA transfections (#).

    Mixed consensus miRNA inhibitors rescue arsenic’s inhibitory effects on NeuroD1 expression. P19 cells were transfected with a combined mixture of the 4 anti-miRNAs, with or without 0.5 μM arsenic (n = 3 replicates per anti-miRNA and per exposure group), and allowed to form embryoid bodies for 5 days. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine expression of NeuroD1 protein (red) in the embryoid bodies. Cells were counterstained with DAPI (blue) to indicate the nuclei (A). High magnification images of cells are shown in the (A) inserts. For 10 representative cells (examples are shown in the blue boxes), expression of NeuroD1 in the whole cell, cytoplasm, and nuclei were quantified using ImageJ (B). NeuroD1 transcript levels were quantified by qPCR, and normalized with Gapdh using the comparative delta Ct method with fold changes compared with N.C. (B). Data are shown as mean ± SD.
