Decreased circulating miRNA levels in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

TLDR
Circulating miRNA profiling could represent a new avenue to identify easily detectable disease biomarkers in MS patients and could result in over-expression of target genes involved in disease pathogenesis.
Abstract
Emerging evidence underlines the importance of micro(mi)RNAs in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) Free-circulating miRNAs were investigated in serum from MS patients compared to controls Statistically significant decreased levels of miR-15b, miR-23a and miR-223 were observed in MS patients (p < 005) Results were validated and replicated in two further independent MS populations A direct correlation between miRNA levels and the EDSS score was determined in PPMS (p < 0007) The generalized trend toward miRNA down-regulation could result in over-expression of target genes involved in disease pathogenesis Circulating miRNA profiling could thus represent a new avenue to identify easily detectable disease biomarkers

Circulating miRNAs as potential biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cell-free miR-125b serum levels are decreased in serum from patients with AD as compared with NINDC and distinguish between AD and NinDCs with an accuracy of 82%.

Expression, Regulation and Function of MicroRNAs in Multiple Sclerosis

TL;DR: Up-regulated miRNAs may be used as a signature for MS and play critical roles in MS pathogenesis and drugs such as interferon-β and glatiramer acetate for MS treatment may regulate miRNA expression and thus have benefits for MS patients.

Circulating exosomes suppress the induction of regulatory T cells via let-7i in multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The authors show that expression of several exosomal miRNAs are altered in patients with multiple sclerosis, and that let-7i modulates regulatory T cell homeostasis to contribute to pathogenesis.

miRNA-23a/CXCR4 regulates neuropathic pain via directly targeting TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome axis

TL;DR: miR-23a, by directly targeting CXCR4, regulates neuropathic pain via TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in spinal glial cells and reversed pain behavior elicited by pSNL, miR- 23a knockdown, or CX CR4 overexpression.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

MicroRNAs: Genomics, Biogenesis, Mechanism, and Function

TL;DR: Although they escaped notice until relatively recently, miRNAs comprise one of the more abundant classes of gene regulatory molecules in multicellular organisms and likely influence the output of many protein-coding genes.

TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.
