Abstract
The microRNA (miR) species analyzed in this study are involved in molecular mechanisms of TLR4 and TLR7 signaling, mediating the development of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. We have investigated the expression levels of miR-let7b, miR-96, miR-182, miR-155, and the mRNA content of HMGB1, TLR3, TLR4 in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of the brain of rats exposed to long-term alcoholization. The long-term alcoholization caused a decrease in miR-let7b, miR-96, miR-182, and TLR7 mRNA levels; this was accompanied by an increase in miR-155, TLR4, and Hmgb1 mRNA levels in the NAc of rat brain. TLR7 is functionally linked to miR-let7b. The data of a simultaneous decrease in miR-let7b and TLR7 mRNA are of interest for further studies; they may indicate on the lack of functionally significant links between Hmgb1 and the miR-let7b-TLR7 system in NAc. The existing evidence of a functional relationship between TLR4 with miR-155 and miR-182 and our observations on their expression changes during chronic alcoholization are very interesting and require further investigation. The suggestion about the development of neuroinflammatory process in NAc under prolonged alcohol exposure are relevant for studying the level of TLR gene expression in NAc, as well as the expression of miR species, which may have a functional relationship with the TLR system.

期刊介绍:
The aim of the Russian-language journal "Biomeditsinskaya Khimiya" (Biomedical Chemistry) is to introduce the latest results obtained by scientists from Russia and other Republics of the Former Soviet Union. The Journal will cover all major areas of Biomedical chemistry, including neurochemistry, clinical chemistry, molecular biology of pathological processes, gene therapy, development of new drugs and their biochemical pharmacology, introduction and advertisement of new (biochemical) methods into experimental and clinical medicine etc. The Journal also publish review articles. All issues of journal usually contain invited reviews. Papers written in Russian contain abstract (in English).
