Differential Expression of microRNAs in Serum of Patients with Chronic Painful Polyneuropathy and Healthy Age-Matched Controls.

ABSTRACT: Polyneuropathies (PNP) are the most common type of disorder of the peripheral nervous system in adults. However, information on microRNA expression in PNP is lacking. Following microRNA sequencing, we compared the expression of microRNAs in the serum of patients experiencing chronic painful PNP with healthy age-matched controls. We have been able to identify four microRNAs (hsa-miR-3135b, hsa-miR-584-5p, hsa-miR-12136, and hsa-miR-550a-3p) that provide possible molecular links between degenerative processes, blood flow regulation, and signal transduction, that eventually lead to PNP. In addition, these microRNAs are discussed regarding the targeting of proteins that are involved in high blood flow/pressure and neural activity dysregulations/disbalances, presumably resulting in PNP-typical symptoms such as chronical numbness/pain. Within our study, we have identified four microRNAs that may serve as potential novel biomarkers of chronic painful PNP, and that may potentially bear therapeutic implications.

Project description:Traditional models of neural reorganization of language skills in patients with chronic stroke-induced aphasia (PWA) propose activation of reperfused or spared left hemisphere tissue results in the most favorable language outcomes. However, these models do not fully explain variable behavioral recovery patterns observed in chronic patients. Instead, investigation of connectivity patterns of critical network nodes may elucidate better-informed recovery models. In the present study, we combined fMRI and dynamic causal modeling (DCM) to examine effective connectivity of a simple three-node left hemisphere network during a semantic feature decision task in 25 PWA and 18 age-matched neurologically intact healthy controls. The DCM model space utilized in Meier, Kapse, & Kiran (2016), which was organized according to exogenous input to one of three regions (i.e., left inferior frontal gyrus, pars triangularis [LIFGtri], left posterior middle temporal gyrus [LpMTG], or left middle frontal gyrus [LMFG]) implicated in various levels of lexical-semantic processing, was interrogated. This model space included all possible combinations of uni- and bidirectional task-modulated connections between LIFGtri, LMFG and LpMTG, resulting in 72 individual models that were partitioned into three separate families (i.e., Family #1: Input to LIFGtri, Family #2: Input to LMFG, Family #3: Input to LpMTG). Family-wise Bayesian model selection revealed Family #2: Input to LMFG best fit both patient and control data at a group level. Both groups relied heavily on LMFG's modulation of the other two model regions. By contrast, between-group differences in task-modulated coupling of LIFGtri and LpMTG were observed. Within the patient group, the strength of activity in LIFGtri and connectivity of LpMTG → LIFGtri were positively associated with lexical-semantic abilities inside and outside of the scanner, whereas greater recruitment of LpMTG was associated with poorer lexical-semantic skills.
