“…[4,5]). Several miRNAs viz, miR-214, -150, À146a, and À125b [6] miR-137, miR-214 and miR148a [7] have been shown to target HTT gene. Expression of HTT has been shown to decrease in HD models [6], human post mortem brain [8] and fibroblasts of HD patients [9].…”

“…Several miRNAs were shown to target the Htt mRNA. A direct interaction between the 3 0 UTR of Htt mRNA and miRNAs, including the autophagy-related miR-125b, was reported [116]. miR-125b could downregulate Htt levels in cells.…”

Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as autophagy) is an evolutionary conserved degradation pathway that targets cytoplasmic substrates, including long-lived proteins, protein aggregates and damaged organelles, and leads to their degradation in lysosomes. Beyond its role in adaptation to cellular stresses, such as nutrient deprivation, hypoxia and toxins, recent studies attributed a central role to autophagy in aging and life span determination. Moreover, alterations and abnormalities of autophagy may contribute to a number of important health problems, including cancer, myopathies, metabolic disorders and, the focus of this review, aging-related neurodegenerative diseases. Some disease-related, mutant and aggregation-prone proteins may be cleared by autophagy; on the other hand, disregulation of the autophagy pathways may also contribute to neurotoxicity observed in degenerative pathologies. microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous regulators of gene expression, and their deregulation was reported in several aging-related conditions. Studies in the last few years introduced miRNAs as novel and potent regulators of autophagy. In this review article, we will summarize the connection between autophagy, aging and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, and discuss the role of autophagy-related miRNAs in this context.

“…MicroRNAs regulate genes that are involved in the production or clearance of pathological structures [136][137][138][139]. This includes genes involved in the production or modification of β-amyloid or tau, which form amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles seen in Alzheimer's disease brains [136] as well as genes involved in regulating the expression and aberrant accumulation of α-synuclein, a pathological feature of Parkinson's disease [137,138].…”

Several microRNAs have been identified that altered expression of the huntingtin gene, thereby regulating huntingtin aggregation in Huntington's disease [139]. Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by a progressive spreading of this neuropathology.…”

Extracellular microRNAs as messengers in the central and peripheral nervous system

Correspondence : Hannah Scott (ScottH5@cardiff.ac.uk) MicroRNAs are small post-transcriptional regulators that play an important role in nervous system development, function and disease. More recently, microRNAs have been detected extracellularly and circulating in blood and other body fluids, where they are protected from degradation by encapsulation in vesicles, such as exosomes, or by association with proteins. These microRNAs are thought to be released from cells selectively through active processes and taken up by specific target cells within the same or in remote tissues where they are able to exert their repressive function. These characteristics make extracellular microRNAs ideal candidates for intercellular communication over short and long distances. This review aims to explore the potential mechanisms underlying microRNA communication within the nervous system and between the nervous system and other tissues. The suggested roles of extracellular microRNAs in the healthy and the diseased nervous system will be reviewed.
