Abstrakt: Microglia express Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that sense pathogen- and host-derived factors, including single-stranded RNA. In the brain, let-7microRNA (miRNA) family members are abundantly expressed, and some have recently been shown to serve as TLR7 ligands. We investigated whether let-7miRNA family members differentially control microglia biology in health and disease. We found that a subset of let-7miRNA family members function as signaling molecules to induce microglial release of inflammatory cytokines, modulate antigen presentation, and attenuate cell migration in a TLR7-dependent manner. The capability of the let-7miRNAs to control microglial function is sequence specific, mapping to a let-7UUGU motif. In human and murine glioblastoma/glioma, let-7miRNAs are differentially expressed and reduce murine GL261 glioma growth in the same sequence-specific fashion through microglial TLR7. Taken together, these data establish let-7miRNAs as key TLR7 signaling activators that serve to regulate the diverse functions of microglia in health and glioma.
