Deregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a possible contributor to the pathology and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Most studies support an association between the dysfunction of BDNF and the pathogenesis of AD. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of peripheral BDNF levels in patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using meta-analytic techniques. A systematic search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central database was performed and 34 eligible articles were identified for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Random-effects meta-analysis showed that AD patients had significantly decreased levels of peripheral BDNF compared with healthy control (HC) subjects (Hedges' g = - 0.725, 95% CI = -1.06 to - 0.39, p < 0.01). MCI patients showed a same trend with decreased BDNF levels compared with HC subjects (Hedges' g = - 0.296, 95% CI = - 0.57 to - 0.02, p < 0.01). Significant differences were found between AD and MCI subjects in peripheral BDNF levels (Hedges' g = - 0.462, 95% CI = - 0.95 to 0.03, p < 0.01). However, the ROC curve analysis revealed that the peripheral BDNF levels may not be an optimal biomarker potentially for AD and MCI diagnosis with a lower AUC (AD: 0.707; MCI: 0.573), less sensitivity (AD: 66.67%; MCI: 50.00%) and poor specificity (AD: 93.33%; MCI: 83.33%). These results suggested that AD or MCI is accompanied by reduction of peripheral BDNF, but the levels of circulating BDNF may not be suitable as a diagnostic marker for AD and MCI.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cancer have inverse relationship in many aspects. Some tumor suppressors, including miR-34c, are decreased in cancer but increased in AD. The upstream regulatory pathways and the downstream mechanisms of miR-34c in AD remain to be investigated. The expression of miR-34c was detected by RT-qPCR in oxidative stressed neurons, hippocampus of SAMP8 mice, or serum of patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Dual luciferase assay was performed to confirm the binding sites of miR-34c in its target mRNA. The Morris water maze (MWM) was used to evaluate learning and memory in SAMP8 mice administrated with miR-34c antagomir (AM34c). Golgi staining was used to evaluate the synaptic function and structure. The dramatically increased miR-34c was mediated by ROS-JNK-p53 pathway and negatively regulated synaptotagmin 1 (SYT1) expression by targeting the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of syt1 in AD. The expression of SYT1 protein was reduced by over expression of miR-34c in the HT-22 cells and vice versa. Administration of AM34c by the third ventricle injection or intranasal delivery markedly increased the brain levels of SYT1 and ameliorated the cognitive function in SAMP8 mice. The serum miR-34c was significantly increased in patients with aMCI and might be a predictive biomarker for diagnosis of aMCI. These results indicated that increased miR-34c mediated synaptic and memory deficits by targeting SYT1 through ROS-JNK-p53 pathway and the miR-34c/SYT1 pathway could be considered as a promising novel therapeutic target for patients with AD.

Objective To observe the changes of microRNA(miRNA) expression profile during oxidative stress in human microvascular retinal endothelial cell (HMREC) and to explore the function of the differentially expressed miRNA in the process of retinal vascular endothelial injury.Methods Oxidative stress model was developed with different concentrations of H2O2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).Cell viability was determined by using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay.Gene chip technology was used to detect the alterations of miRNA expression profile induced by oxidative stress in HUVEC and bioinformatics analysis was performed in differentially expressed miRNA.Real-time PCR analysis was used to validate the changed miRNA in HMREC.Results According to the results of viability of HUVEC detected by CCK-8 assay,the cell viability of HUVEC treated by 100 μmol/L H2O2 for 8 hours and 16 hours were not different from those of the control group (F100μmol/L =3.897,P >0.05).However,the cell viability of HUVEC treated by other concentrations of H2O2 were decreased significantly and in a dose and time-dependent manner(F200μmol/L =8.172,F800μmol/L =239.214,all P < 0.05).The cell viability of HUVEC treated with 400 μmol/L of H2O2 for 24 hours were decreased by nearly 50% (F400μmol/L =6.905,P < 0.05).The microarray analysis results showed that there were 116 differentially expressed miRNAs in HUVEC after exposure to H2O2(400 μmol/L) for 24 hours.Among them,11 miRNAs were decreased or increased for more than 1.5 times.The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that these miRNAs might be involved in multiple biological pathways such as metabolic pathways in cells,adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase(AMPK) signaling pathway and so on.The results of real-time PCR validated that miRNA-15b,miRNA-106b,and miRNA-497 were significantly downregulated (FmiRNA-15b,HUVEC =9.9,FmiRNA-106b,HUVEC =8.4,FmiRNA-497,HUVEC =63.5,FmiRNA-15b,HMREC =643.7,FmiRNA-106b,HMREC =81.4,FmiRNA-497,HMREC =199.9,all P <0.05),whereas miRNA-195,miRNA-638,miRNA-1246,miRNA-4267,miRNA-4324,and miRNA-4734 were significantly upregnlated(FmiRNA-195,HUVEC =592.1,FmiRNA-638,HUVEC =812,FmiRNA-1246,HUVEC =58.5,FmiRNA-4267,HUVEC =1 179.1,FmiRNA-4734,HUVEC =173,FmiRNA-195,HMREC =67.8,FmiRNA-638,HMREC =103.7,FmiRNA-1246,HMREC =2 078.9,FmiRNA-4267,HMREC =234.6,FmiRNA-4734,HMREC =10.7,all P < 0.05) in HUVEC and HMREC oxidative stress model treated by 400 μmol/L of H2O2 for 24 hours.Conclusion Oxidative stress induces the imbalance of miRNA expression in HMREC,and differentially expressed miRNA might play a potential role in the process of retinal vascular endothelial injury through AMPK signaling pathway.
In the present work, the TIPS behavior of isotactic polypropylene(iP P)/di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP)/dioctyl phthalate(DOP)/nano-SiO 2 system and the competition relation between liquid–liquid phase separation and polymer crystallization are successfully adjusted by adding nano-SiO 2 . The liquid–liquid phase separation temperature of the system increases with increasing nano-SiO 2 content. Besides, iP P crystallization temperature is also changed after adding nano-SiO 2 . IPP/nano-SiO 2 blend hollow fiber microporous membrane is prepared via TIPS method. SEM photos show that the membrane exhibits mixed morphology combining cellular structure relating to liquid–liquid phase separation and branch structure originating from polymer crystallization. The relative weight of cellular structure first decreases and then increases with the increase of nano-SiO 2 content. Furthermore, porosity, connectivity among pores and pure water flux of the membrane first increase and then decrease with increasing nano-SiO 2 content. However, mechanical performance of the membrane is improved at all times with increasing nano-SiO 2 content.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors. This study was aimed to evaluate the interaction between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoter methylation status and tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag SNPs) on amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and its conversion to AD. A total of 506 aMCI patients and 728 cognitive normal controls were included in the cross-sectional analysis. Patients (n = 458) from aMCI cohort were selected in the 5-year longitudinal study and classified into two groups: aMCI-stable group (n = 330) and AD-conversion group (n = 128). BDNF promoter methylation was detected by bisulfite-PCR amplification and pyrosequencing. Seven tag SNPs were genotyped by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Elevation of BDNF promoter methylation status was associated with aMCI and AD conversion. The higher methylation levels at CpG5 site showed significant main interactive effects between group and time (F = 8.827, p = 0.005). Genetic analysis revealed rs2030324 and rs6265 were associated with aMCI and rs6265 was associated with AD conversion. The interaction between DNA methylation of CpG5 and AA genotype of rs6265 had a risk role in the development of aMCI (p = 0.019, OR = 1.233, 95% CI: 1.117-1.303) and its progression to AD (p = 0.003, OR = 1.399, 95% CI: 1.198-1.477). The interactions between DNA methylation (CpG5) of the BDNF gene promoter and the tag SNP (rs6265) play important roles in the etiology of aMCI and its conversion to AD.
Evidence suggests that individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) tend to progress to probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) with aging. This study was performed to examine whether circulating miRNAs could be potential predictors for the progression of aMCI to AD. A total of 458 patients with aMCI were included in this study, and the clinical data were collected at two time points: the baseline and the follow-up assessment. These aMCI patients were classified into two groups after 5 years: aMCI-stable group (n = 330) and AD-conversion group (n = 128). The expression of miR-206 and miR-132 and the levels of BDNF and SIRT1 in serum were detected using a quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qPCR) and the ELISA method, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method (Log-rank test) was used for univariate survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the prognostic value of miRNAs in conversion from aMCI to AD. At the baseline, serum levels of miR-206 in aMCI-AD group were significantly elevated compared to aMCI-aMCI group and the same trend was found at 5-year follow-up time point as well. There were no significant differences in serum levels of miR-132 between the conversion and non-conversion group at both time points. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significant correlation between AD conversion and higher serum levels of miR-206 for aMCI patients (HR = 3.60, 95% CI: 2.51- 5.36, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that serum miR-206 and its target BDNF were significant independent predictors for AD conversion (HR = 4.22, p < 0.001). These results suggested that increased serum miR-206 level might be a potential predictor of conversion from aMCI to AD.
Epigenetic aberrations have been identified as biomarkers to predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to evaluate whether altered DNA methylation status of BDNF promoter could be used as potential epigenetic biomarkers for predicting the progression from amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) to AD. A total of 506 aMCI patients and 728 cognitively normal controls were recruited in the cross-sectional analyses. Patients (n = 458) from aMCI cohort were classified into two groups after 5-year follow-up: aMCI-stable group (n = 330) and AD-conversion group (n = 128). DNA methylation of BDNF promoter was detected by bisulfite-PCR amplification and pyrosequencing. The DNA methylation levels of CpG1 and CpG2 in promoter I and CpG5 and CpG6 in promoter IV of BDNF gene were significantly higher in the aMCI group than in the control group at baseline and also were increased in the conversion group compared with the non-conversion group at 5-year follow up time point. CpG5 in BDNF promoter IV had the highest AUC of 0.910 (95% CI: 0.817-0.983, p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant AD conversion propensity for aMCI patients with high methylation levels of CpG5 (HR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.07-2.98, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed elevated methylation status of CpG5 was a significant independent predictor for AD conversion (HR = 3.51, p = 0.013). These results suggest that elevation of peripheral BDNF promoter methylation might be used as potential epigenetic biomarkers for predicting the conversion from aMCI to AD.
Abnormal gene expression, including mRNAs, and microRNAs (miRNA), have been identified in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although mitofusin2 (mfn2) has been found to be down-regulated in the neurons from hippocampus and cortex in AD patients, little is known about its roles and the regulatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis of AD. This study was performed to investigate the roles of mfn2 protein and its upstream regulatory mechanism in the progression of AD using a senescence accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) model. The results of quantitative real-time PCR and western blot revealed that mfn2 expression displayed a consistent decrease with aging in the hippocampus of SAMP8 than did age-matched SAMR1 mice. The luciferase activity assay combined with mutational analysis confirmed the binding site of miR-195 to the 3' -untranslated region (3'-UTR) of mfn2 mRNA. Furthermore, miR-195 inhibitor or antigomir induced the higher level expression of mfn2 protein in vitro and in vivo. In addition, exogenous expression of miR-195 decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of the HT-22 cells by targeting mfn2. In conclusion, these results indicated that deregulation of mfn2 might be involved in mitochondrial dysfunction during the progression of AD, and its decreased expression was regulated at least in part by miR-195 in AD mice. The abnormal expression of miR-195 played a potential role in mitochondrial disorder by targeting mfn2 in hippocampus of SAMP8 mice. Therefore, upregulation of mfn2 protein by inhibiting miR-195 might be a potential new therapeutic strategy for treatment of AD.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is usually accompanied by abnormal gene expression. The 20 to 25 nucleotide (nt) tiny regulators, known as micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs), have been found to play important roles in the etiology and pathogenesis of various biological processes. The purpose of the current study was to identify the aberrant expression of microRNAs in the hippocampus of an AD mouse model and to investigate its potential role during the progression of AD. The results from microarray analysis showed that several miRNAs were deregulated in the hippocampus tissue of SAMP8 mice compared to SAMR1 mice. Among the deregulated miRNAs, a significant decrease in miR-181c was validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that miR-181c might be involved in the regulation of axon guidance, MAPK signaling, dorso-ventral axis formation and long-term depression. Moreover, the results of a luciferase activity assay, western blot analysis and immunofluorescent staining showed that over-expression of miR-181c targets the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of collapsin response mediator protein 2 (crmp2) through its binding sites and down-regulates crmp2 protein abundance at the post-transcriptional level. Taken together, these findings suggested that crmp2 is a target of miR-181c and that the abnormally low expression of miR-181c in the hippocampus of SAMP8 mice could lead to an increase of the crmp2 protein level in AD mice, which might potentially play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules with gene regulatory functions, have emerged to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Recently, circulating miRNAs have been reported as potential biomarkers for various pathologic conditions. The present study was performed to investigate the potential role of circulating miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We collected 66 patients with MCI and 76 normal controls from our previous cross-sectional cohort study. Seven miRNAs (miR-206, miR-132, miR-193b, miR-130b, miR-20a, miR-296, and miR-329) related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) were detected in serum using a quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) method. Each miRNA's diagnostic performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves and the areas under curves (AUC) analysis. The levels of miR-206 and miR-132 in MCI patients' serum were significantly elevated compared to normal controls. Combining detection of miR-206 and miR-132 achieved the highest AUC of 0.981, followed by test of miR-206 (AUC = 0.880) and miR-132 (AUC = 0.912) separately. Importantly, miR-206 and miR-132 were respectively correlated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score in MCI patients. These results preliminarily indicated that circulating miR-206 and miR-132 as novel miRNAs upregulated in MCI patient were potential biomarkers for diagnosis of MCI.

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the etiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the molecular mechanisms that control the neuron response to oxidative stress have been extensively studied. However, the effects of oxidative stress on miRNA expression in hippocampal neurons has not been investigated, and little is known about the roles of ROS-modulated miRNAs in cell function as yet. In this study, miRNA microarray technology was used to analyze the expression of miRNAs in the oxidative stressed primary hippocampal neurons, hippocampus of senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) and prone 10 (SAMP10). The targets of co-regulated microRNAs were also selected for computational prediction using miRWalk software and functional analysis by the DAVID software. In addition, the changes of co-regulated microRNA expression were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. The results of microarray analysis showed that miR-329, miR-193b, miR-20a, miR-296, and miR-130b were all upregulated in H2O2-induced primary hippocampal neurons and different strains of senescence accelerated mice. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that these co-regulated microRNAs may be involved in the regulation of cell growth, apoptosis, signal transmission and cancer development. In which, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was one of the most significant pathways to be affected by 83 target genes of miR-329, miR-193b, miR-20a miR-296, and miR-130b. The quantitative real-time PCR data confirmed the alterations of the co-upregulated miRNAs. These results suggested that oxidative stress alters the miRNA expression profile of hippocampal neurons, and the deregulated miRNAs might play potential roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study provided a strong basis for the future study aiming at contributions of miRNAs induced by oxidative stress in AD.

Objective To explore the influence of high-voltage electricity on CD58 expression in rats’ blood serum and the therapeutic effects of Ulinastatin (UTI). Methods A total of 180 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, control group, electrical burn group (burn group) and UTI-treated group (treatment group) and each group contained 60 rats. Voltage regulator and transformer were used to make high-voltage electricity burns (HEB) animal model in the burn and treatment groups. The above equipment- without electricity was used to treat the rats of the control group. Within 2 minutes after electrical burn, 2 mL of normal saline (NS) and UTI (2 × 104 U/kg) were injected intraperitoneally in control and burn group and in treatment group respectively. The collection of cardiac blood and the preparation of the serum were performed at 15 minutes before HEB, 5 minutes later, 1 hour later, 2 hours later, 4 hours later and 8 hours later (10 rats were selected randomly in above time\|point). The concentration of CD58 was assayed with ELISA. And the experimental data were analyzed statistically with variance analysis and LSD test. Results(1) The comparison of CD58 expression between the control and burn groups: the expression in burn group was increased compared with that in control group (F=882.901, P<0.01), the increased CD58 expression in burn group was in a time\|dependent manner and the expression at 5 minutes to 8 hours after the burn was higher than that before the burn (F=81.459, P<0.01). And there was an increased trend for expression of CD58. (2) The comparison of CD58 expression between the burn and treatment groups: the expression in treatment group was reduced compared with that in burn group (F=219.597, P<0.01). The change of CD58 expression in treatment group was linked with time duration and the expression at 5 minutes to 8 hours after the burn was higher than that before the burn (F=155.774, P<0.01). ConclusionsCD58 expression was up\|regulated in blood serum of rats after HEB and its expression was reduced after UTI treatment.
