MiR-124 and the Underlying Therapeutic Promise of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Open accessAbstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are a group of chronic progressive neurological diseases based on primary neurodegeneration. The common pathological characteristics of various NDDs are neuronal degeneration, deletion, glial cell proliferation, and hypertrophy at specific locations in the nervous system. Proliferation and hypertrophy of microglia are manifestations of inflammation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators of glial cells. MiRNAs are small non-coding molecules that regulate gene expression. Altered expression of miRNAs has been associated with several NDD pathological processes, among which regulation of the inflammatory response is key and a research hotspot at present. At the same time, miRNAs are also biological markers for diagnosis and potential targets for treating NDDs. MiR-124 is highly conserved and enriched in the mammalian brain. Emerging studies have suggested that miR-124 is closely related to the pathogenesis of NDDs and may be an effective treatment strategy to reduce inflammation associated with NDDs. In this review, we describe a summary of general miRNA biology, implications in pathophysiology, the potential roles of miR-124 associated with inflammation, and the use of miRNA as a future biomarker and an application for NDD therapy.

Neuronal miRNAs, including miR-132-3p, the miR-29 family, miR-107, miR-124-3p, and miR-219-5p, play critical roles in coordinating amyloid processing, tau phosphorylation, synaptic integrity, and mitochondrial stability in AD.
“Neuronal miRNAs, including miR-132-3p, the miR-29 family, miR-107, miR-124-3p, miR-219-5p (shared with oligodendrocytes), play critical roles in coordinating amyloid processing, tau phosphorylation, synaptic integrity, and mitochondrial stability in AD (Han et al., 2020; Hébert et al., 2008; Li et al., 2018; Salta et al., 2016; Walgrave et al., 2021a; Wang et al., 2008).”

The “MiR-124 in Neurodegenerative Disorders” section (page unavailable) links miR-124 to APP processing, amyloid production, synaptic transmission, and plasticity in AD; it also reports that miR-124-3p attenuates tau hyperphosphorylation in vitro. The cited passages do not establish the claimed AD roles for the other listed miRNAs or a role in mitochondrial stability. (LLM, conf=0.87)

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.
