abstractText | It has been known that the dorsal and ventral areas of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus have distinct roles in memory and mood behaviors. We previously reported that microRNA miR-17-92 regulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis and mood disorders. Here, we suggest that the miR-17-92 cluster is highly expressed in the ventral than the dorsal dentate gyrus in the adult mouse hippocampus. Deletion of miR-17-92 in the adult hippocampus only affects development of neural progenitors in the ventral dentate gyrus, and miR-17-92 knockout mice have no defects in memory functions. Our results suggest that regional expression of miR-17-92 in the dentate gyrus is associated with their distinct functions in hippocampal neurogenesis and related behaviors. |
