Early downregulation of hsa-miR-144-3p in serum from drug-naive Parkinson's disease patients.

ABSTRACT: Advanced age represents one of the major risk factors for Parkinson's Disease. Recent biomedical studies posit a role for microRNAs, also known to be remodelled during ageing. However, the relationship between microRNA remodelling and ageing in Parkinson's Disease, has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to unravel the relevance of microRNAs as biomarkers of Parkinson's Disease within the ageing framework. We employed Next Generation Sequencing to profile serum microRNAs from samples informative for Parkinson's Disease (recently diagnosed, drug-naïve) and healthy ageing (centenarians) plus healthy controls, age-matched with Parkinson's Disease patients. Potential microRNA candidates markers, emerging from the combination of differential expression and network analyses, were further validated in an independent cohort including both drug-naïve and advanced Parkinson's Disease patients, and healthy siblings of Parkinson's Disease patients at higher genetic risk for developing the disease. While we did not find evidences of microRNAs co-regulated in Parkinson's Disease and ageing, we report that hsa-miR-144-3p is consistently down-regulated in early Parkinson's Disease patients. Moreover, interestingly, functional analysis revealed that hsa-miR-144-3p is involved in the regulation of coagulation, a process known to be altered in Parkinson's Disease. Our results consistently show the down-regulation of hsa-mir144-3p in early Parkinson's Disease, robustly confirmed across a variety of analytical and experimental analyses. These promising results ask for further research to unveil the functional details of the involvement of hsa-mir144-3p in Parkinson's Disease.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) between Lynch syndrome (LS) and the normal colonic (N-C) control samples, predict the target genes (TGs) and analyze the potential functions of the DEMs and TGs. The miRNA expression dataset GSE30454, which included data of 13 LS and 20 N-C tissue samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The classical t-test in Linear Models for Microarray Data package was used for DEM identification. TG prediction was performed using 5 databases. The regulatory network of the DEMs and their TGs was constructed using Cytoscape. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. The transcription factors (TFs), tumor-associated genes (TAG) and tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) were then identified. Three key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p were identified. Hsa-miR-520e and hsa-miR-137 had 4 common TGs, including SNF related kinase, metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), round spermatid basic protein 1 and YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-137 had 14 common TGs, including NCK adaptor protein 1 (NCK1), EPH receptor A7, and stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1; hsa-miR-590-3p and hsa-miR-520e had 12 common TGs, including Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 13, twinfilin actin binding protein 1, and nuclear factor I B. Through the functional and pathway enrichments analysis, MTF1 was involved in regulation of gene expression and metabolic processes, and sequence-specific DNA binding TF activity. KLF13 was involved in regulation of gene expression and regulation of cellular metabolic processes. NCK1 was enriched in the axon guidance pathway. In addition, the functional and pathway enrichment analysis showed certain TGs, such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, AKT serine/threonine kinase 2, and rapamycin-insensitive companion of mammalian target of rapamycin, participated in the mTOR signaling pathway. The 3 key DEMs hsa-miR-137, hsa-miR-520e, and hsa-miR-590-3p may have important roles in the process of LS.
