Changes in the miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network Precede Motor Symptoms in a Mouse Model of Multiple System Atrophy: Clinical Implications. by Simon Schafferer, Rimpi Khurana, Violetta Refolo, Serena Venezia, Edith Sturm, Paolo Piatti, Clara Hechenberger, Hubert Hackl, Roman Kessler, Michaela Willi, Ronald Gstir, Anne Krogsdam, Alexandra Lusser, Werner Poewe, Gregor K Wenning, Alexander Hüttenhofer, Nadia Stefanova

“…We investigated the expression patterns of miRNAs and their mRNA targets in substantia nigra (SN) and striatum, two brain regions that undergo neurodegeneration at a later stage in the MSA model, by microarray and RNA-seq analysis, respectively. Analysis was performed at a time point when α-synuclein accumulation was already present in oligodendrocytes at neuropathological examination, but no neuronal loss nor deficits of motor function had yet occurred. …”
