A recent study showed that the expression of miR-71 was significantly increased relative to other miRNAs in starved L1 worms (15). However, miR-71 does not appear to regulate all postembryonic development during L1 diapause recovery. Unlike classical heterochronic miRNAs such as lin-4 and let-7, the role of miR-71 in vulval cell division is essential in animals recovering from starvation-induced L1 diapause, but not in animals hatched on plates with food. As pointed out above, multiple miRNAs in addition to miR-71 and the let-7 family miRNAs have roles in L1 diapause, and they may regulate the expression of many diverse targets that may include, but are not limited to, factors involved in UNC-31–InsR-signaling activities.
