TLDR
It is shown here that miR-29a, -29b-1, and -9 can regulate Bace1 expression in vitro and proposed that loss of specific miRNAs can contribute to increased BACE1 and Aβ levels in sporadic AD.Abstract:
Although the role of APP and PSEN genes in genetic Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases is well established, fairly little is known about the molecular mechanisms affecting A generation in sporadic AD. Deficiency in A clearance is certainly a possibility, but increased expression of proteins like APP or BACE1/-secretase may also be associated with the disease. We therefore investigated changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of sporadic AD patients and found that several miRNAs potentially involved in the regulation of APP and BACE1 expression appeared to be decreased in diseased brain. We show here that miR-29a, -29b-1, and -9 can regulate BACE1 expression in vitro. The miR-29a/b-1 cluster was signifi- cantly (and AD-dementia-specific) decreased in AD patients dis- playing abnormally high BACE1 protein. Similar correlations be- tween expression of this cluster and BACE1 were found during brain development and in primary neuronal cultures. Finally, we provide evidence for a potential causal relationship between miR-29a/b-1 expression and A generation in a cell culture model. We propose that loss of specific miRNAs can contribute to in- creased BACE1 and A levels in sporadic AD. neurodegeneration amyloid noncoding RNAread more

TL;DR: Why Aβ accumulates in the brains of elderly individuals is unclear but could relate to changes in APP metabolism or Aβ elimination, which will be crucial to the development of therapeutic targets to treat AD.

An Analysis of Human MicroRNA and Disease Associations
TL;DR: It is uncovered that microRNAs associated with the same disease tend to emerge as predefined microRNA groups, which can not only provide help in understanding the associations between microRNAAs and human diseases but also suggest a new way to identify novel disease-associated micro RNAs.

TL;DR: It is now clear that ordered aggregation of pathogenic proteins does not only occur in the extracellular space, but in the cytoplasm and nucleus as well, indicating that many other diseases may also qualify as amyloidoses.

TL;DR: A new, bead-based flow cytometric miRNA expression profiling method is used to present a systematic expression analysis of 217 mammalian miRNAs from 334 samples, including multiple human cancers, and finds the miRNA profiles are surprisingly informative, reflecting the developmental lineage and differentiation state of the tumours.

TL;DR: A minimal cosegregating region containing the AD3 gene is defined, and at least 19 different transcripts encoded within this region corresponds to a novel gene whose product is predicted to contain multiple transmembrane domains and resembles an integral membrane protein.

TL;DR: Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the open reading frame of the E5-1 gene led to the discovery of two missense substitutions at conserved amino-acid residues in affected members of pedigrees with a form of familial AD that has a later age of onset than the AD3 subtype (5070 years versus 3060 years for AD3).

TL;DR: It is shown that a brain-specific microRNA, miR-134>, is localized to the synapto-dendritic compartment of rat hippocampal neurons and negatively regulates the size of dendritic spines—postsynaptic sites of excitatory synaptic transmission.
