Abstract
Objective: There is a pressing need to identify and validate, minimally invasive, molecular biomarkers that will complement current practices and increase the diagnostic accuracy in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Brain-enriched miRNAs regulate all aspects of neuron development and function; importantly, they are secreted by neurons in amounts that can be readily detected in the plasma. Τhe aim of the present study was to validate a set of previously identified brain-enriched miRNAs with diagnostic potential for idiopathic PD and recognize the molecular pathways affected by these deregulated miRNAs. Methods: RT-qPCR was performed in the plasma of 92 healthy controls and 108 idiopathic PD subjects. Statistical and in silico analyses were used to validate deregulated miRNAs and pathways in PD, respectively. Results: miR-22-3p, miR-124-3p, miR-136-3p, miR-154-5p, and miR-323a-3p levels were found to be differentially expressed between healthy controls and PD patients. miR-330-5p, miR-433-3p, and miR-495-3p levels were overall higher in male subjects. Most of these miRNAs are clustered at Chr14q32 displaying CREB1, CEBPB, and MAZ transcription factor binding sites. Gene Ontology annotation analysis of deregulated miRNA targets revealed that “Protein modification,” “Transcription factor activity,” and “Cell death” terms were over-represented. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome analysis revealed that “Long-term depression,” “TGF-beta signaling,” and “FoxO signaling” pathways were significantly affected. Interpretation: We validated a panel of brain-enriched miRNAs that can be used along with other measures for the detection of PD, revealed molecular pathways targeted by these deregulated miRNAs, and identified upstream transcription factors that may be directly implicated in PD pathogenesis. © 2020 The Authors.
