Depression results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, microRNAs (miRNAs), and histone modifications, can produce heritable phenotypic changes without a change in DNA sequence and recently were proven to mediate lasting increases in the risk of depression following exposure to adverse life events. Of these, miRNAs are gaining attention for their role in the pathogenesis of many stress-associated mental disorders, including depression. One such miRNA is microRNA-206 (miR-206), which is a critical candidate for increasing the susceptibility to stress. Although miR-206 is thought to be a typical muscle-specific miRNA, it is expressed throughout the brain, particularly in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Until now, only a few studies have been conducted on rodents to understand the role of miR-206 in stress-related abnormalities in neurogenesis.
