Abstract
The review aims to focus on the role of miRNA in gene regulation, related to differentiation and apoptosis of neurons, focusing on the array of miRNAs involved in the processes. miRNAs are a known class of small regulatory RNAs, which in association with RNA processing bodies, play major roles in different cellular events, such as neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation. miRNAs function in controlling neuronal events by targeting different important molecules of cellular signalling. The post-translational modification of Ago2 is crucial in modulating the neurons' miRNA-mediated regulation. Thus, understanding the crosstalk between cellular signalling and miRNA activity affecting neuronal events is very important to decipher novel targets and related signalling pathways, involved in neuronal survival and neurodegeneration.
期刊介绍:
NeuroMolecular Medicine publishes cutting-edge original research articles and critical reviews on the molecular and biochemical basis of neurological disorders. Studies range from genetic analyses of human populations to animal and cell culture models of neurological disorders. Emerging findings concerning the identification of genetic aberrancies and their pathogenic mechanisms at the molecular and cellular levels will be included. Also covered are experimental analyses of molecular cascades involved in the development and adult plasticity of the nervous system, in neurological dysfunction, and in neuronal degeneration and repair. NeuroMolecular Medicine encompasses basic research in the fields of molecular genetics, signal transduction, plasticity, and cell death. The information published in NEMM will provide a window into the future of molecular medicine for the nervous system.
