MicroRNA‑124: an emerging therapeutic target in central nervous system disorders
Open accessAbstract
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of neuron and non-neuron cells including neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs), neuroblasts, glia cells (mainly astrocyte, oligodendroglia and microglia), which thereby form a precise and complicated network and exert diverse functions through interactions of numerous bioactive ingredients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), with small size approximately ~ 21nt and as well-documented post-transcriptional key regulators of gene expression, are a cluster of evolutionarily conserved endogenous non-coding RNAs. More than 2000 different miRNAs has been discovered till now. MicroRNA-124(miR-124), the most brain-rich microRNA, has been validated to possess important functions in the central nervous system, including neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation, cell fate determination, neuron migration, synapse plasticity and cognition, cell apoptosis etc. According to recent studies, herein, we provide a review of this conversant miR-124 to further understand the potential functions and therapeutic and clinical value in brain diseases.

Recent therapeutic approaches involving the delivery of miRNA-124 have demonstrated a neuroprotective role, showing promise in treating neurodegenerative disorders and brain traumas.
“Recent therapeutic approaches involving the delivery of miRNA-124 have demonstrated a neuroprotective role, showing promise in treating neurodegenerative disorders and brain traumas [167, 168].”
From Extracellular vesicles as nanotheranostic platforms for targeted neurological disorder interventions (2024) · cites this paper as [168]
The section on degenerative diseases reports that injected miR-124 nanoparticles may improve outcomes in Parkinson’s disease model mice. The ischemia–reperfusion section reports neuroprotective effects from increased miR-124, but also describes conflicting results; its exosome-delivery example reports increased neurogenesis without establishing an effect on neuronal death or infarct size. The copy does not substantiate the claimed benefit of miR-124 delivery for brain trauma. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
