英文摘要
Project Summary / Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are the most common neurodegenerative
disorders that lead to dementia in millions of patients. The number of people affected by these diseases and
the corresponding cost to society is predicted to double within 20 years. To develop effective therapies, new
biomedical approaches, concepts, and molecular targets are critically needed. The discovery of a novel class
of molecular regulators called microRNA (miRNA) has revolutionized biology and is predicted to have a major
impact on medicine. miRNAs, the small non-protein-coding RNAs, post-transcriptionally regulate gene
expression in various physiological and pathological conditions. Accumulating evidence suggests that
dysregulated miRNA signaling plays an important role in several neurodegenerative diseases, including AD
and FTD. A specific miRNA, miR-132, previously implicated in neuronal development, plasticity, and viability,
has recently emerged as the most significantly down-regulated in the early stages of AD, as well as FTD and
PSP. It is associated with the AD pathology, including both amyloid plaques and tau-formed neurofibrillary
tangles. Our data suggest that miR-132 protects neurons against disease-related toxins such as Ab and
glutamate and that its replacement might be neuroprotective in the brain. Many genes associated with tau
metabolism, as well as those antagonizing neuronal apoptotic machinery, have been predicted as direct miR-
132 targets. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism underlying the neuroprotective properties of miR-132, as
well as the genetic and physiologic context of its neuroprotection, is unknown. The overall goal of this project is
to dissect miR-132 signaling, define its role in AD and FTD neurons, and investigate neuroprotective properties
of this miRNA in human cells and mouse models of amyloid and tau-induced neurodegeneration. To achieve
this goal, we propose three Specific Aims. Specific Aim 1 will define the commonality and genetic constraints of
miR-132-mediated signaling and neuroprotection. Using neurons differentiated from a panel of iPSC lines from
controls, AD and FTD patients, we will unravel miR-132 signaling, its primary targets contributing to distinct
paths to neurodegeneration and disease, and define the links between miR-132 activity, tau and amyloid
pathology, and neuronal vulnerability and death. Specific Aim 2 will develop pre-clinical metabolically stabilized
compounds for the investigation of sustained miR-132 replacement in the brain in vivo. Specific Aim 3 will
investigate the mechanisms of miR-132 neuroprotection in two distinct mouse models of neurodegeneration.
The proposed project promises to yield significant new insights into the common pathways dysregulated in
Alzheimer’s disease and related pathologies and may validate miRNA as a novel class of neuroprotective
molecules for AD and FTD therapies.
