MicroRNAs regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally by destabilizing and/or inhibiting translation of target mRNAs in animal cells. MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) has been examined mostly in the context of neurogenesis. This study discovers a novel role of miR-124 in regulating mesodermal cell differentiation in the sea urchin embryo. The expression of miR-124 is first detectable at 12hours post fertilization at the early blastula stage, during endomesodermal specification. Mesodermally-derived immune cells come from the same progenitor cells that give rise to blastocoelar cells (BCs) and pigment cells (PCs) that must make a binary fate decision. We determined that miR-124 directly represses Nodal and Notch to regulate BC and PC differentiation. miR-124 inhibition does not impact the dorsal-ventral axis formation, but result in a significant increase in number of cells expressing BC-specific transcription factors (TFs) and a concurrent reduction of differentiated PCs. In general, removing miR-124's suppression of Nodal phenocopies miR124 inhibition. Interestingly, removing miR-124's suppression of Notch leads to an increased number of both BCs and PCs, with a subset of hybrid cells that express both BC- and PC-specific TFs in the larvae. Removal of miR-124's suppression of Notch not only affects differentiation of both BCs and PCs, but also induces cell proliferation of these cells during the first wave of Notch signaling. This study demonstrates that post-transcriptional regulation by miR-124 impacts differentiation of BCs and PCs by regulating the Nodal and Notch signaling pathways.
