Emerging roles for ncRNAs in alcohol use disorders

Open access
Mayfield, R. Dayne·2017·Alcohol

Abstract

Chronic alcohol exposure produces widespread neuroadaptations and alterations in gene expression in human alcoholics and animal models. Technological advances in the past decade have increasingly highlighted the role of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the regulation of gene expression and function. These recently characterized molecules were discovered to mediate diverse processes in the central nervous system, from normal development and physiology to regulation of disease, including alcoholism and other psychiatric disorders. This review will investigate the recent studies in human alcoholics and rodent models that have profiled different classes of ncRNAs and their dynamic alcohol-dependent regulation in brain.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The importance of ncRNAs is becoming increasingly apparent, not only in alcohol dependence but in brain physiology in general.

    “However, the importance of ncRNAs is becoming increasingly apparent, not only in alcohol dependence (36) , but in brain physiology in general (37) , and these RNAs were therefore included in our data.”

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.
