Abstract
Backgrounds Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. This research aimed to investigate the effects and mechanism underlying long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in PD. Methods SK-N-SH and SK-N-BE cells were treated with MPP+ to establish the MPP+-stimulated cell model of PD, and MALAT1 expression was determined. Then, the effects of MALAT1 depletion on cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined in the MPP+-stimulated cell model of PD. Besides, the correlations between microRNA-135b-5p (miR-135b-5p) and MALAT1 or glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) in MPP+-stimulated cell model of PD were explored. Results MALAT1 was increasingly expressed and downregulation of MALAT1 promoted cell proliferation while inhibited apoptosis in MPP+-stimulated cells. Besides, miR-135b-5p was a target of MALAT1 and directly targeted to GPNMB. Further investigation indicated that suppression of MALAT1 regulated cell proliferation and apoptosis by miR-135b-5p/GPNMB axis. Conclusion Our findings reveal that MALAT1/miR-135b-5p/GPNMB axis regulated cell proliferation and apoptosis in MPP+-stimulated cell model of PD, providing a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for PD.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the world’s second most common neurodegenerative disease that is associated with age. With the aging of the population, patients with PD are increasing in number year by year. Most such patients lose their ability to self-care with disease progression, which brings an incalculable burden to individual families and society. The pathogenesis of PD is complex, and its clinical manifestations are diverse. Therefore, it is of great significance to screen for circulating biomarkers associated with PD to reveal its pathogenesis and develop objective diagnostic methods so as to prevent, control, and treat the disease. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are considered to be effective biomarkers for various diseases due to their stability, and resistance to RNAase digestion and extreme conditions in circulating fluids. Here, we review recent advances in the detection of abnormally expressed miRNAs and lncRNAs in PD circulating fluids, and discuss the function and molecular mechanisms of plasma or serum miR-124, miR-132, miR-29, miR-221, miR-7, miR-433, and miR-153 in the regulation and progression of PD. Additionally, application of the differential expression of lncRNAs in circulating fluid in the pathological progression and diagnosis of PD is also reviewed. In short, the determination of abnormally expressed circulating miRNAs and lncRNAs will be valuable for the future diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with a range of motor and non-motor clinical symptoms. The underlying molecular pathogenesis of PD involves a variety of pathways and mechanisms, including α-synuclein proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and epigenetic regulation. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of multiple pathological processes of PD. In this review, we provide an overview of large-scale studies on lncRNA expression profiling in PD patients and models, as well as highlight the impacts of lncRNAs on the pathogenesis of PD, which could provide basic information regarding the putative lncRNA-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the early diagnosis and treatment strategies for PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, while Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Recent accumulating evidence indicates that these two diseases are associated with each other. Also, from the perspective of long non-coding RNAs, some well-known genes such as H19 and PVT1 can link these two diseases together. Several studies have shown that patients with PD had a decreased risk of developing CC compared with patients without PD. However, controversies surround the relationship between PD and CC, and to date, no concordant conclusion has been drawn. METHODS In this study, we aimed to assess the association between these two diseases based on lncRNA-to-lncRNA interactions. Motivated by the weighted gene co-expression network analysis method, a customized procedure was proposed and used to identify differentially correlated edges (DCEs) in the respective interaction networks for PD and CC and explore how these two diseases are linked. RESULTS Of the two sets of DCEs for PD and CC, 16 pairs overlapped. Among them, 15 edges had opposite signs, with positive signs for CC indicating a gain of connectivity, whereas negative signs for PD indicating a loss of connectivity. CONCLUSIONS By using the lncRNA expression profiles, and a customized procedure, an answer to the question about how PD and CC are associated is provided.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second main neurodegenerative disease causing motor abnormalities in the middle-aged and old individuals. In some cases, cognitive dysfunction also occurs. The clinical signs of PD are bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor. As these signs might be detected in other neurological conditions such as multiple systems atrophy and corticobasal degeneration, it is necessary to find specific and sensitive markers for this disorder. Non-coding RNAs are implicated in the different PD-associated features such as α-synuclein expression and Lewy body construction, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, neuroinflammation and defects in glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor. Several researches have confirmed dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in brain tissues, plasma exosomes and leukocytes of affected individuals or animal models of PD. A number of these transcripts directly regulate the neurodegenerative process in PD. In the current study, we review the current data about dysregulation of ncRNAs and the role of their genomic variants in the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) has been implicated in PD development. Nevertheless, little insight has been gained on the mechanisms of UCA1 in PD pathogenesis. The levels of UCA1, miR-423-5p and potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 20 (KCTD20) were assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot. Cell viability was gauged by the CCK-8 assay, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Targeted relationships among UCA1, miR-423-5p and KCTD20 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Our data showed that MPP+ induced UCA1 expression in SK-N-SH cells. UCA1 silencing protected against MPP+-evoked cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cells. UCA1 functioned as a miR-423-5p sponge, and the protective impact of UCA1 silencing on MPP+-evoked cytotoxicity was mediated by miR-423-5p. KCTD20 was a direct target of miR-423-5p, and miR-423-5p overexpression mitigated MPP+-triggered cell injury by down-regulating KCTD20. Furthermore, UCA1 regulated KCTD20 expression by acting as a sponge of miR-423-5p in SK-N-SH cells. Our study first identified that the silencing of UCA1 protected SK-N-SH cells from MPP+-evoked cytotoxicity at least in part by targeting the miR-423-5p/KCTD20 axis.

Abstract
Small molecule RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) has been found to be an important regulator in the neurotoxicity of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SNHG1 in PD remains elusive. The expression of SNHG1, microRNA (miR)-181a-5p, and C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) mRNA was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cell viability and apoptosis were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 and Flow cytometry, respectively. Western blot was utilized to determine the levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), CyclinD1, Cleaved-caspase-3, and CXCL12 protein. The interaction between miR-181a-5p and SNHG1 or CXCL12 was confirmed by the dual-luciferase reporter assay. We discovered that SNHG1 was significantly elevated, while miR-181a-5p was decreased in N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-treated neuroblastoma cells in dose-dependent manners. MPP+ induced cell viability inhibition and apoptosis promotion, while these effects were reversed by SNHG1 knockdown or miR-181a-5p re-expression. SNHG1 directly bound to miR-181a-5p, and miR-181a-5p inhibition could block the action of SNHG1 knockdown on MPP+-induced neurotoxicity in neuroblastoma cells. CXCL12 was identified as a downstream target of miR-181a-5p, and the impact of miR-181a-5p on MPP+-induced neuronal damage could be attenuated by CXCL12 overexpression. Besides, SNHG1 could indirectly regulate CXCL12 expression via miR-181a-5p. We demonstrated that SNHG1 promoted MPP+ induced neuronal injury in neuroblastoma cells by regulating miR-181a-5p/CXCL12 axis, suggesting SNHG1 might contribute to the development of PD, which provided a novel insight into the pathogenesis and treatment of PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. Considering the devastating symptoms, high prevalence, and lack of definitive diagnostic test, there is an urgent need to identify possible biomarkers and new therapeutic targets. Genes identified and/or proposed to be linked to PD encode proteins that fulfill diverse roles in cellular functions. There is a growing interest in identifying common traits which lead to the disease. Long non-coding RNAs have recently emerged as possible regulatory hubs of complex molecular changes affecting PD development. Among them, NEAT1 has attracted particular interest. It is a major component and the initiator of nuclear paraspeckles, thus regulating transcription and modifying protein functions. This review summarizes data available on the role of NEAT1 in PD. NEAT1 upregulation in PD has repeatedly been reported, however, whether this is part of a protective or a damaging mechanism is still a topic of debate. It has been proposed that NEAT1 propagates PD via its interaction with PINK1 and several micro RNAs and by modulating SNCA expression. On the other hand, findings of NEAT1 acting as a bona fide LRRK2 inhibitor argue for its protective role. These contradictory results could be due to the different disease models implemented. This calls attention to the difficulties posed by the complex patho-mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders and the limitations of disease models. However, the potential of NEAT1 as a biomarker and as a therapeutic target for PD highly warrants further research to elucidate its exact role in this neurodegenerative disorder.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the cellular antioxidant capacity. OS plays a central role in neurodegenerative diseases, where the progressive accumulation of reactive oxygen species induces mitochondrial dysfunction, protein aggregation and inflammation. Regulatory non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are essential transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene expression controllers, showing a highly regulated expression in space (cell types), time (developmental and ageing processes) and response to specific stimuli. These dynamic changes shape signaling pathways that are critical for the developmental processes of the nervous system and brain cell homeostasis. Diverse classes of ncRNAs have been involved in the cell response to OS and have been targeted in therapeutic designs. The perturbed expression of ncRNAs has been shown in human neurodegenerative diseases, with these changes contributing to pathogenic mechanisms, including OS and associated toxicity. In the present review, we summarize existing literature linking OS, neurodegeneration and ncRNA function. We provide evidences for the central role of OS in age-related neurodegenerative conditions, recapitulating the main types of regulatory ncRNAs with roles in the normal function of the nervous system and summarizing up-to-date information on ncRNA deregulation with a direct impact on OS associated with major neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts thought to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Some lncRNAs are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and participate in pathological processes of PD. The incidence of PD is relatively high in members of the Uyghur minority living in Xingjiang province of China. This study measured the expression of lncRNAs in the peripheral blood cells of Chinese Uyghur individuals with and without PD and analyzed the possible function of these lncRNAs in the development of PD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Peripheral blood samples were collected from 55 Uyghur patients with PD and 55 healthy volunteers. Total RNA was extracted, and the levels of expression of whole-genome lncRNAs and mRNAs in 10 samples (5 PD and 5 controls) were determined by microarray method. The expression levels of lncRNAs in all 100 subjects were determined by qRT-PCR. The lncRNA expression profiles of PD patients were determined based on lncRNA microarray chip analysis, and differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified. The results of chip analysis were confirmed in a large clinical cohort. RESULTS Comparison of subjects with and without PD identified 32 significantly up-regulated and 18 significantly down-regulated lncRNAs in the PD group. GO analysis showed that mRNAs encoding proteins involved in the regulation of biological processes were differentially expressed, with the inflammatory immune response being the most significantly related pathway. CONCLUSIONS The expression of lncRNAs in peripheral blood differed significantly in PD patients and controls. These differentially expressed lncRNAs may play a role in the development of PD.

Abstract
Bipolar disorders are known as chronic, recurrent, and heterogenic diseases. Regarding, diagnosis and treatment of them are very complex. The molecular mechanism and pathophysiology of bipolar disorder are slightly known. Accordingly, long noncoding RNAs are considered as one of the main factors that are dysfunctional in many diseases such as the nervous system diseases. Hence, we aim to investigate the expression of two long non coding RNAs, MALAT1 and UCA1, in patients in bipolar disorder. The levels of MALAT1 and UCA1 lncRNA were evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 50 bipolar patients and 50 healthy controls with real-time PCR. Also, ROC curve analysis and correlation analysis were performed between the gene expression and some clinical features of bipolar individuals. The significant decline of MALAT1 expression level was found in the patients compared to controls; but no significant difference was observed in the UCA1 expression level between the patients and controls. Furthermore, computational analysis of CpG Islands and miRNAs binding sites on LncRNAs, MALAT1, and UCA1 was conducted. Also, The ROC curve area (AUC) of MALAT1 was 0.80. The current results suggest that the expression level of MALAT1 could serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for bipolar patients.

Abstract
As a momentous post-transcriptional regulator, microRNAs (miRNAs) are attracting more and more attention. The classical miRNAs regulated mechanism shows it binds to the targets' 3'UTR thus play the role in post-transcription. Meanwhile, single miRNA can target multiple genes, so those should compete to bind that miRNA. Vice versa, single gene can sponge mass of miRNAs as well. Thus the competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) hypothesis was put forward in 2011. The ceRNA hypothesis has made huge achievements, in particular in non-coding genes, which including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circle RNAs (circRNAs) and pseudogenes, even viral transcripts. It also contributed greatly to epigenetics development. However, an increasing number of controversies have occurred with applause. Based on this situation, this review introduces something in detail about the ceRNAs hypothesis achieved in lncRNAs, circRNAs, pseudogenes and viral transcripts, respectively. Meanwhile, it also covers controversy of the ceRNAs hypothesis.

[PMID: 32972446 PMCID: PMC7513532 DOI: 10.1186/s13041-020-00656-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The goal of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism by which long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) promotes inflammation in Parkinson’s disease (PD). 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was used to induce PD development in C57BL/6 mice, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression was analysed by immunohistochemical analysis. Western blot and qPCR analyses were conducted to assess the expression of protein and mRNA levels, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide/adenosine triphosphate (LPS/ATP) was used to activate microglia in vitro. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation chip (RIP) assays were performed to investigate the interaction among specific molecules. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate cell viability and proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to analyse cell apoptosis after staining. The dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay was used to measure the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. The results showed that MALAT1 was highly expressed in the brains of MPTP-induced PD model mice and in LPS/ATP-induced microglia cells. Knockdown of MALAT1 inhibited elevated nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like-2 factor (NRF2) expression, thereby inhibiting inflammasome activation and ROS production. MALAT1 was shown to promote neuroinflammation by recruiting enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) to the promoter of NRF2, suppressing Nrf2 expression. In summary, MALAT1 epigenetically inhibits NRF2, thereby inducing inflammasome activation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in PD mouse and microglial cell models.

Abstract
Neurological diseases are a major threat to global public health and prosperity. The number of patients with neurological diseases is increasing due to the population aging and increasing life expectancy. Autophagy is one of the crucial mechanisms to maintain nerve cellular homeostasis. Numerous studies have demonstrated that autophagy plays a dual role in neurological diseases. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a vital class of noncoding RNAs with a length of more than 200 nucleotides and cannot encode proteins themselves but are expressed in most neurological diseases. An early phase, emerging knowledge has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial in autophagy regulation. Furthermore, autophagy-associated lncRNAs can promote the development of neurological diseases or slow their progression. In this review, we introduce a general overview of lncRNA functional mechanisms and summarizes the recent progress of lncRNAs on autophagy regulation in neurological diseases to reveal possible novel therapeutic targets or useful biomarkers.

Abstract
Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) has been demonstrated as an important regulator in PD pathology. However, the functional mechanisms played by SNHG14 in PD remain largely unclear. Methods We used 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to establish PD mouse and cell models. The levels of SNHG14, miR-214-3p, and Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) were gauged by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot analysis. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined using the Cell Counting-8 Kit (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by ELISA. The relationships among SNHG14, miR-214-3p, and KLF4 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Results Our data indicated that SNHG14 was upregulated and miR-214-3p was downregulated in PD models. SNHG14 knockdown ameliorated MPP+-stimulated damage in SK-N-SH cells, as evidenced by the enhancement in cell viability and the suppression in cell apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Mechanistically, SNHG14 directly targeted miR-214-3p via binding to miR-214-3p, and SNHG14 knockdown protected SK-N-SH cell from MPP+-stimulated cytotoxicity by upregulating miR-214-3p. KLF4 was a direct target of miR-214-3p, and SNHG14 regulated KLF4 expression by acting as a miR-214-3p sponge. Furthermore, miR-214-3p overexpression alleviated MPP+-stimulated damage in SK-N-SH cells by downregulating KLF4. Conclusion Our current study first demonstrated the protective effect of SNHG14 knockdown on MPP+-stimulated cytotoxicity in SK-N-SH cells at least partially by targeting the miR-214-3p/KLF4 axis, illuminating a promising target for PD intervention and treatment.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex and heterogeneous disorder involving multiple genetic and environmental influences. Although a wide range of PD risk factors and clinical markers for the symptomatic motor stage of the disease have been identified, there are still no reliable biomarkers available for the early pre-motor phase of PD and for predicting disease progression. High-throughput RNA-based biomarker profiling and modeling may provide a means to exploit the joint information content from a multitude of markers to derive diagnostic and prognostic signatures. In the field of PD biomarker research, currently, no clinically validated RNA-based biomarker models are available, but previous studies reported several significantly disease-associated changes in RNA abundances and activities in multiple human tissues and body fluids. Here, we review the current knowledge of the regulation and function of non-coding RNAs in PD, focusing on microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs. Since there is growing evidence for functional interactions between the heart and the brain, we discuss the benefits of studying the role of non-coding RNAs in organ interactions when deciphering the complex regulatory networks involved in PD progression. We finally review important concepts of harmonization and curation of high throughput datasets, and we discuss the potential of systems biomedicine to derive and evaluate RNA biomarker signatures from high-throughput expression data.

Abstract
Midbrain dopamine neurons have crucial functions in motor and emotional control and their degeneration leads to several neurological dysfunctions such as Parkinson's disease, addiction, depression, schizophrenia, and others. Despite advances in the understanding of specific altered proteins and coding genes, little is known about cumulative changes in the transcriptional landscape of noncoding genes in midbrain dopamine neurons. Noncoding RNAs-specifically microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs-are emerging as crucial post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in the brain. The identification of noncoding RNA networks underlying all stages of dopamine neuron development and plasticity is an essential step to deeply understand their physiological role and also their involvement in the etiology of dopaminergic diseases. Here, we provide an update about noncoding RNAs involved in dopaminergic development and metabolism, and the related evidence of these biomolecules for applications in potential treatments for dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Background The objective of the study was to explore the role of long non-coding RNA SNHG8 (lncRNA SNHG8) in myocardial infarction (MI) and the related mechanism of action. Material/Methods In vitro model of MI was established by hypoxia induction in cardiomyocyte line H9c2 cells. H9c2 cells were transfected with control-plasmid, SNHG8-plasmid, control-shRNA and SNHG8-shRNA. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was performed to measure transfection efficiency. Creatine kinase-muscle/brain (CK-MB) release, cardiac troponin 1 (cTnI) release and mitochondria viability were detected by using related detection kits. MTT (3-(45)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y 1)-35-diphenytetrazoliumromide) assay was used to detect cell viability and flow cytometry analysis was used to detect cell apoptosis. Western blot assay was performed to measure protein expression of cleaved-Caspase3, p-p65 and p65. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and qRT-PCR assay were performed to detect expression of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6. Results LncRNA SNHG8 was overexpressed in hypoxia-induced cardiomyocytes. SNHG8-plasmid increased lncRNA SNHG8 expression, CK-MB release, cTnI release, and mitochondria viability in hypoxia-induced H9c2 cells. In addition, SNHG8-plasmid reduced cell viability, induced cell apoptosis, and increased expression of cleaved-caspase3, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and p-p65 in hypoxia-induced H9c2 cells, while the effects of SNHG8-shRNA were opposite. Conclusions We demonstrated that lncRNA SNHG8 affected myocardial infarction by affecting hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte injury via regulation of the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Homeobox transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), has been associated with neuroprotective effects in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. Hence, this present study attempted to clarify the functional relevance of HOTAIR in PD. We established an in vivo mouse model of PD using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and an in vitro cell model of PD by treating dopaminergic neuron MN9D cells with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium species (MPP+). The expressions of somatostatin receptor 1 (SSTR1) and HOTAIR were altered to examine their effects on MN9D cell viability and apoptosis, as well as on movement impairments in MPTP-induced PD mouse model. The results indicated that HOTAIR expression was upregulated and SSTR1 was downregulated in in vivo and in vitro PD models. HOTAIR could bind to the promoter region of SSTR1, resulting in an increase of SSTR1 methylation through the recruitment of DNA methyltransferases in PD cell models. Notably, overexpression of HOTAIR and silencing of SSTR1 enhanced dopaminergic neuron apoptosis in MN9D cells and exacerbated dyskinesia in MPTP-induced PD mouse model. Collectively, overexpressed HOTAIR stimulates DNA methylation of SSTR1 to reduce SSTR1 expression, thereby accelerating dyskinesia and facilitating dopaminergic neuron apoptosis in a MPTP-lesioned PD mouse model via activation of the ERK1/2 axis.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. Age is the main risk factor. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are novel RNA molecules of more than 200 nucleotides in length. They may be involved in the regulation of many pathological processes of PD. PD has a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms, including alpha-synuclein aggregate, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, calcium homeostasis, axonal transport, and neuroinflammation. Among these, the impacts of lncRNAs on the pathogenesis and progression of PD need to be highlighted. lncRNAs may serve as putative biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the early diagnosis of PD. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNAs in various pathological processes of PD and the specific lncRNAs that might be used as putative diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Astragaloside-IV (AS-IV) protects the nerve cells of Parkinson's disease (PD) from damage. Long non-coding RNA (lincRNA) has been found to be important for many diseases. Lincnra-p21 is abnormally expressed in PD. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Astragaloside-IV (AS-IV) affects endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced neuronal apoptosis in PD, and its possible mechanisms. METHODS The PD mouse model was established via injecting 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6- tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and the PD cell model was established via inducing the MN9D cell line with 1-methyl-4-pehnyl-pyridine (MPP+). The behavioral testing of PD model mice was tested after AS-IV treatment and PD-related lincRNAs expression were detected by qRT-PCR. After treatment of PD model cells with AS-IV, lincRNA-p21 expression was detected by qRT-PCR, and cell viability and apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The binding of lincRNA-p21 to C/EBP-homologous (CHOP) protein was investigated by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down, and the effect of lincRNA-p21 on the ubiquitination of CHOP protein was examined by ubiquitination assay. The role of lincRNA-p21 in PD model was studied by cell transfection. RESULTS In PD mice, AS-IV can improve the behavior of mice and significantly inhibit expression of lincRNA-p21. Similarly, AS-IV can obviously restrain the expression of lincRNA-p21 in PD cells, and obviously elevated cell viability and restrained apoptosis. LincRNA-p21 is able to bind to CHOP protein. Further studies showed that restraint of lincRNA-p21 expression can facilitate ubiquitination of CHOP and accelerate its protein degradation. In AS-IV-treated PD model cells, overexpression of lincRNA-p21 lessened cell viability and facilitated apoptosis, whereas low expression of CHOP reversed this result. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that AS-IV can lessen the expression of CHOP protein by restraining the expression of lincRNA-p21 in the PD model, thereby inhibiting neuronal apoptosis.

LncRNA H19 diminishes dopaminergic neuron loss by mediating microRNA-301b-3p in Parkinson's disease via the HPRT1-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 12:8820-8836. [PMID: 32434961 PMCID: PMC7288916 DOI: 10.18632/aging.102877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are a subject of active investigation in neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). We hypothesized a regulatory role of lncRNA H19 with involvement of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) in dopaminergic neuron loss in PD model mice obtained by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions. We predicted the differentially expressed genes and related mechanisms by microarray analysis. We measured the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and proneural genes in the substantia nigra of lesioned mice before and after treatment with lentiviral oe-HPRT1, agomir-miR-301b-3p and inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. We also evaluated the relationship among lncRNA H19, HPRT1 and miR-301b-3p as well as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in these mice. The obtained results predicted and further confirmed a low level of HPRT1 in lesioned mice. We found low expression of lncRNA H19 and showed that its forced overexpression regulated HPRT1 by binding to miR-301b-3p. The overexpression of HPRT1 increased TH expression and inhibited dopaminergic neuron loss via activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, as reflected by increased expressions of Nurr-1, Pitx-3, Ngn-2 and NeuroD1. Thus, overexpressed lncRNA H19 protects against dopaminergic neuron loss in this PD model through activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway via impairing miR-301b-3p-targeted inhibition of HPRT1 expression.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small RNAs modulating gene expression and creating intricate regulatory networks that are dysregulated in many pathological states, including neurodegenerative disorders. In silico analyses denote a multifunctional kinase glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) as a putative target of numerous miRs identified in neural tissue. GSK3 is engaged in almost all aspects of neuronal development and functioning. Moreover, there is an autoregulatory feedback between GSK3 and miRNAs as the kinase can influence biogenesis of miRs. Members of the miR-GSK3 axes might thus represent convenient therapeutic targets in neuropathologies that display its abnormal regulation. This review summarizes the present knowledge about direct interactions of GSK3 and miRs in brain, and their putative roles in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: GSK-3 and related kinases in cancer, neurological and other disorders edited by James McCubrey, Agnieszka Gizak and Dariusz Rakus.

Abstract
In mammals, many classes of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are expressed at a much higher level in the brain than in other organs. Recent studies have identified a new class of ncRNAs called circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are produced by back-splicing and fusion of either exons, introns, or both exon-intron into covalently closed loops. The circRNAs are also highly enriched in the brain and increase continuously from the embryonic to the adult stage. Although the functional significance and mechanism of action of circRNAs are still being actively explored, they are thought to regulate the transcription of their host genes and sequestration of miRNAs and RNA binding proteins. Some circRNAs are also shown to have translation potential to form peptides. The expression and abundance of circRNAs seem to be spatiotemporally maintained in a normal brain. Altered expression of circRNAs is also thought to mediate several disorders, including brain-tumor growth, and acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders by affecting mechanisms such as angiogenesis, neuronal plasticity, autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. This review discusses the involvement of various circRNAs in brain development and CNS diseases. A better understanding of the circRNA function will help to develop novel therapeutic strategies to treat CNS complications.

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications are emerging as major players in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and susceptibility to acute brain injury. DNA and histone modifications act together with non-coding RNAs to form a complex gene expression machinery that adapts the brain to environmental stressors and injury response. These modifications influence cell-level operations like neurogenesis and DNA repair to large, intricate processes such as brain patterning, memory formation, motor function and cognition. Thus, epigenetic imbalance has been shown to influence the progression of many neurological disorders independent of aberrations in the genetic code. This review aims to highlight ways in which epigenetics applies to several commonly researched neurodegenerative diseases and forms of acute brain injury as well as shed light on the benefits of epigenetics-based treatments.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that poses serious burden to individuals and society as well. Although a number of PD associated genetic factors have been identified, the molecular mechanism of the disease so far has not been completely elucidated. Involvement of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the pathology of neurodegenerative disorders is attracting increased interest because of the diverse mechanisms lncRNAs affect gene expression and cellular homeostasis at different levels. We aimed to test the feasibility of detecting alterations in lncRNA levels in easily accessible samples of PD patients by routine laboratory technique. By narrowing the number of selected lncRNAs implicated in neurodegeneration and increasing the number of PD samples included, we found one out of 41 lncRNAs readily detectable in increased level in peripheral blood of PD patients. We detected NEAT1 to be significantly up-regulated in PD patients in multiple comparisons. NEAT1 is the core element of nuclear paraspeckles and it plays role in regulation of transcription, mRNA and miRNA levels, mitochondrial and cellular homeostasis. Our finding is in accord with recent data demonstrating changes in the level of NEAT1 in neurons of PD patients and in several models of the disease. However, to our knowledge this is the first study to report NEAT1 up-regulation in blood of PD patients. Identification of altered expression of this lncRNA in the periphery might help to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying PD, and can contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets and disease markers.

Abstract
Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a common complication of chronic dopamine replacement therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Long noncoding RNAs regulate gene expression and participate in many biological processes. However, the role of long noncoding RNAs in LID is not well understood. In the present study, we examined the lncRNA transcriptome profile of a rat model of PD and LID by RNA sequence and got a subset of lncRNAs, which were gradually decreased during the development of PD and LID. We further identified a previously uncharacterized long noncoding RNA, NONRATT023402.2, and its target genes glutathione S-transferase omega (Gsto)2 and prostaglandin E receptor (Ptger)3. All of them were decreased in the PD and LID rats as shown by quantitative real-time PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization and western blotting. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that their expression was positively correlated with the dyskinesia score of LID rats. In vitro experiments by small interfering RNA confirmed that slicing NONRATT023402 inhibited Gsto2 and Ptger3 and promoted the inflammatory response. These results demonstrate that NONRATT023402.2 may have inhibitive effects on the development of PD and LID.

SNHG1 promotes MPP +-induced cytotoxicity by regulating PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cells via sponging miR-153-3p. Biol Res 2020; 53:1.

Abstract
Background Long non-coding RNA small molecule RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) was previously identified to be relevant with Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. This work aims to further elucidate the regulatory networks of SNHG1 involved in PD. Methods 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-hydrochloride (MPTP)-induced mice and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-treated SH-SY5Y cells were respectively constructed as the in vivo and in vitro PD models. Expression levels of SNHG1 and miR-153-3p were detected by qRT-PCR. Protein expression levels of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) were measured by western blotting assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT and flow cytometry assays. The interactions among SNHG1, miR-153-3p and PTEN were identified by luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation, and/or RNA pull-down analysis. Results Increased SNHG1 expression was found in midbrain of MPTP-induced PD mice and MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Overexpression of SNHG1 lowered viability and enhanced apoptosis in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, SNHG1 acted as a molecular sponge to inhibit the expression of miR-153-3p. Furthermore, miR-153-3p-mediated suppression of MPP+-induced cytotoxicity was abated following SNHG1 up-regulation. Additionally, PTEN was identified as a direct target of miR-153-3p, and SNHG1 could serve as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-153-3p to improve the expression of PTEN. Besides, enforced expression of PTEN displayed the similar functions as SNHG1 overexpression in regulating the viability and apoptosis of MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Finally, SNHG1 was found to activate PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in SH-SY5Y cells by targeting miR-153-3p. Conclusion SNHG1 aggravates MPP+-induced cellular toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells by regulating PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling via sponging miR-153-3p, indicating the potential of SNHG1 as a promising therapeutic target for PD.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism underlying Parkinson's disease (PD), an increasingly common neurodegenerative disease, remains unclear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays essential roles in gene expression and human diseases. We hypothesize that lncRNAs are involved in neuronal degeneration of PD. Using microarray, we identified 122 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and 48 DE mRNAs between the circulating leukocytes from PD patients and healthy controls. There were 714 significant correlations (r ≥ 0.8 or ≤-0.8, p < 0.05) among the DE lncRNAs and mRNAs. Gene function and pathway analysis of the 48 DE mRNAs revealed biological pathways related to PD pathogenesis, including immune response, inflammatory response, MAPK, and Jak-STAT pathway. In a cohort of 72 PD patients and 22 healthy controls, the upregulation of four lncRNAs (AC131056.3-001, HOTAIRM1, lnc-MOK-6:1, and RF01976.1-201) in circulating leukocytes of PD patients were further confirmed. These lncRNAs were also upregulated in THP-1 cells, a human monocytic cell line, after inflammatory stimulation. Interestingly, the conditioned culture medium of THP-1 cells or 6-OHDA significantly increased the expression of these lncRNAs in SH-SY5Y cells, a human neuroblastoma cell line expressing dopaminergic markers. Importantly, overexpression of AC131056.3-001 or HOTAIRM1 increased baseline and 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells. Taken together, we identified distinct expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA in circulating leukocytes between PD patients and healthy controls. Dysregulated lncRNAs such as HOTAIRM1 and AC131056.3-001 may contribute to PD pathogenesis by promoting the apoptosis of dopaminergic neuron.

Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common movement disorder for which diagnosis mainly depends on the medical history and clinical symptoms. Exosomes are now considered an additional mechanism for intercellular communication, allowing cells to exchange proteins, lipids, and genetic material. Long noncoding (lnc) RNA in exosomes plays a critical role in many diseases, including neurodegenerative disease. Aim To study expression differences for lncRNAs in peripheral blood exosomes of PD patients compared with healthy individuals and to look for lncRNAs that might be related to the pathogenesis of PD. Materials and Methods We recruited PD patients along with age‐ and sex‐matched healthy individuals as healthy controls and evaluated levels of lncRNAs extracted from exosomes in plasma samples via next‐generation sequencing and real‐time quantitative PCR. Correlation analysis was conducted for the clinical characteristics of PD patients and the expression of selected lncRNAs. Results We found 15 upregulated and 24 downregulated exosomal lncRNAs in the PD group. According to bioinformatics analyses, we chose lnc‐MKRN2‐42:1 for further study. Interestingly, lnc‐MKRN2‐42:1 was positively correlated with the MDS‐UPDRS III score for PD patients. Conclusion Our study suggested that lnc‐MKRN2‐42:1 may be involved in the occurrence and development of PD.

Abstract
Chronic neuropathic pain, a type of chronic and potentially disabling pain caused by a disease or injury of the somatosensory nervous system, spinal cord injury, or various chronic conditions, such as viral infections (e.g., post-herpetic neuralgia), autoimmune diseases, cancers, and metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus), is one of the most intense types of chronic pain, which incurs a major socio-economic burden and is a serious public health issue, with an estimated prevalence of 7–10% in adults throughout the world. Presently, the available drug treatments (e.g., anticonvulsants acting at calcium channels, serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, opioids, topical lidocaine, etc.) for chronic neuropathic pain patients are still rare and have disappointing efficacy, which makes it difficult to relieve the patients’ painful symptoms, and, at best, they only try to reduce the patients’ ability to tolerate pain. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a type of transcript of more than 200 nucleotides with no protein-coding or limited capacity, were identified to be abnormally expressed in the spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex under chronic neuropathic pain conditions. Moreover, a rapidly growing body of data has clearly pointed out that nearly 40% of lncRNAs exist specifically in the nervous system. Hence, it was speculated that these dysregulated lncRNAs might participate in the occurrence, development, and progression of chronic neuropathic pain. In other words, if we deeply delve into the potential roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of chronic neuropathic pain, this may open up new strategies and directions for the development of novel targeted drugs to cure this refractory disorder. In this article, we primarily review the status of chronic neuropathic pain and provide a general overview of lncRNAs, the detailed roles of lncRNAs in the nervous system and its related diseases, and the abnormal expression of lncRNAs and their potential clinical applications in chronic neuropathic pain. We hope that through the above description, readers can gain a better understanding of the emerging roles of lncRNAs in chronic neuropathic pain.

The Emerging Role of lncRNAs in Spinal Cord Injury. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:3467121. [PMID: 31737660 PMCID: PMC6815541 DOI: 10.1155/2019/3467121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2019] [Revised: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly debilitating disease and is increasingly being recognized as an important global health priority. However, the mechanisms underlying SCI have not yet been fully elucidated, and effective therapies for SCI are lacking. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which form a major class of noncoding RNAs, have emerged as novel targets for regulating several physiological functions and mediating numerous neurological diseases. Notably, gene expression profile analyses have demonstrated aberrant changes in lncRNA expression in rats or mice after traumatic or nontraumatic SCI. LncRNAs have been shown to be associated with multiple pathophysiological processes following SCI including inflammation, neural apoptosis, and oxidative stress. They also play a crucial role in the complications associated with SCI, such as neuropathic pain. At the same time, some lncRNAs have been found to be therapeutic targets for neural stem cell transplantation and hydrogen sulfide treatment aimed at alleviating SCI. Therefore, lncRNAs could be promising biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of SCI. However, further researches are required to clarify the therapeutic effects of lncRNAs on SCI and the mechanisms underlying these effects. In this study, we reviewed the current progress of the studies on the involvement of lncRNAs in SCI, with the aim of drawing attention towards their roles in this debilitating condition.

Downregulated lncRNA-SNHG1 enhances autophagy and prevents cell death through the miR-221/222 /p27/mTOR pathway in Parkinson's disease. Exp Cell Res 2019; 384:111614. [PMID: 31499060 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2019.111614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 08/31/2019] [Accepted: 09/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Autophagy has been shown to be critically associated with the central mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease (PD), while the mechanisms contributing to the imbalance of autophagy remain unclear. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1), a well-studied long noncoding RNA, has been reported to be significantly increased in PD. The potential biological functions of SNHG1 in the regulation of neuronal autophagy and cell death in PD, however, have not yet been completely elucidated. In this study, we examined the existence of regulatory networks involving SNHG1, the miR-221/222 cluster and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (CDKN1B/p27)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in PD. We observed that SNHG1 expression was gradually upregulated in PD cellular and animal models. Furthermore, silencing SNHG1 promoted autophagy and prevented MPP+-induced cell death, similar to the overexpression of the miR-221/222 cluster. Mechanistically, SNHG1 competitively binds to the miR-221/222 cluster and indirectly regulates the expression of p27/mTOR. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that downregulation of SNHG1 attenuated MPP+-induced decreases in LC3-II (an autophagic marker) levels and cytotoxicity through the miR-221/222/p27/mTOR pathway, suggesting that SNHG1 may be a therapeutic target for neuroprotection and disease treatment in PD.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently attracted increasing attention for their involvement in a wide variety of human neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of the present study was to investigate the functional role and underlying mechanism of NEAT1 in PD. qRT-PCR was used to assess the expression of NEAT1 and miR-221, and the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by western blot. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The changes of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation were evaluated by ELISA assay and qRT-PCR, respectively. The targeted interaction between NEAT1 and miR-221 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Our data supported that MPP+ treatment elevated NEAT1 expression in dose- and time-dependent manners in SH-SY5Y cells, and NEAT1 silencing relieved MPP+-induced suppression of cell viability and enhancement of cell apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, NEAT1 silencing alleviated MPP+-induced promotion of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in SH-SY5Y cells. NEAT1 directly targeted miR-221 and negatively regulated miR-221 expression. More importantly, miR-221 mediated the protective effect of NEAT1 knockdown, as evidenced by the restoration of cell viability, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. In conclusion, our study suggested that NEAT1 silencing alleviated MPP+-induced neuronal damage by sponging miR-221 in SH-SY5Y cells, highlighting the role of NEAT1 as a potential molecular target for PD therapy.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a mainly lethal and highly debilitating condition, is increasing worldwide. However, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated and effective therapy is needed. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which form a major class of noncoding RNAs, have emerged as novel targets for regulating physiological functions and mediating numerous neurological diseases. Notably, gene expression profile analyses have demonstrated aberrant changes in lncRNA expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats, mice and human after TBI. lncRNAs may be associated with multiple pathophysiological processes following TBI and might play a crucial role in complications of TBI, such as traumatic optic neuropathy due to the regulation of specific signaling pathways. Some lncRNAs have also been found to be therapeutic targets for motor and cognitive recovery after TBI. lncRNAs may be promising biomarkers for TBI diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction. However, further research isneeded to clarify the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic effects of lncRNAs on TBI. We review the current progress of studies on lncRNAs in TBI to draw more attention to their roles in this debilitating condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been involved in central nervous system recently. A number of studies have reported that lncRNA NEAT1 exerts critical roles in neurodegenerative disorder. Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) has been reported to exert function in the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ). Moreover, BACE1 acts as a target of miR-124 in the progression of AD. So far, the biological role and underlying mechanisms of NEAT1 and miR-124 in AD remains elusive. METHODS The relative NEAT1 and miR-124 expression was examined by qRT-PCR in the tissues and cells line of AD. Cell apoptosis was examined by FACS. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify that miR-124 is a direct target of NEAT1, and BACE1 is a downstream target of miR-124. qRT-PCR and western blot analysis were also performed to determinate the BACE1 and the phosphorylation of tau protein. RESULTS NEAT1 was notably up-regulated and miR-124 was remarkably down-regulated in AD mouse model. Knockdown of NEAT1 or overexpression of miR-124 showed the protective effects on cellular AD model induced by Aβ. Moreover, miR-124 expression could be up- and down-regulated by suppression or overexpression of NEAT1, respectively. In addition, the expression of BACE1 was the potential functional target of miR-124. These findings suggested that NEAT1 might play a vital role in the development of AD by regulating miR-124/BACE1 axis. DISCUSSION The present study showed that NEAT1 worked as a regulating factor to promote the development of AD via modulating miR-124/BACE1 axis, which might be considered as a novel target in AD treatment.

Long non-coding RNA-p21 regulates MPP +-induced neuronal injury by targeting miR-625 and derepressing TRPM2 in SH-SY5Y cells. Chem Biol Interact 2019; 307:73-81. [PMID: 31004593 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2019.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2018] [Revised: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disease, occurs as a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Long non-coding RNA-p21 (lnc-p21) has been demonstrated to be upregulated in PD. However, its role in PD is unknown. Here, the results showed that lnc-p21 was highly expressed in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP+. Knockdown of lnc-p21 attenuated the cytotoxicity and cell apoptosis induced by MPP+ as shown by enhanced cell viability, decreased LDH release and cell apoptosis rate, accompanying with reduction of caspase-3 activity and Bax expression, and enhancement of Bcl-2 expression. Furthermore, knockdown of lnc-p21 mitigated MPP+-induced oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, as evidenced by the decrease in ROS generation, increase in SOD activity and decline in TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels. Conversely, overexpression of lnc-p21 resulted in the opposite effect. miR-625 was identified as a target of lnc-p21. lnc-p21 overturned the inhibitory effect of miR-625 on MPP+-induced neuronal injury in SH-SY5Y cells. Additionally, lnc-p21 positively regulated TRPM2 expression by targeting miR-625, and knockdown of TRPM2 inhibited MPP+-induced neuronal injury. Overall, our study identified a new lnc-p21-miR-625-TRPM2 regulatory network that lnc-p21 regulated MPP + -induced neuronal injury by sponging miR-625 and upregulating TRPM2 in SH-SY5Y cells, which provide a better understanding for the pathogenesis of PD.

Abstract
Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can cross the placenta and affect the fetal epigenome. Among various epigenetic regulators of gene expression, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important players that may also be involved in the manifestation of endocrine-disrupting chemical toxicity. We sought to explore the association between maternal urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations and lncRNA expression in human placenta to better understand potential mechanisms through which lncRNAs participate in mediating phthalate toxicity. Ten patients with uncomplicated dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies at term were included in this study. Urinary (n = 10) and placenta samples (n = 20) were collected for all participants. Urinary samples were analyzed for 15 phthalate metabolites and 2 phthalate alternative metabolites. Real-time PCR arrays were used to identify and quantify 87 lncRNAs from the placental samples. We tested the Spearman correlation matrix to compare prenatal phthalate measures against placental lncRNA levels. lncRNA levels showed large variations across samples, with no significant differences in lncRNA expression within twin pairs. Mono-(carboxynonyl) phthalate demonstrated consistently strong correlations with most lncRNAs. The strongest correlation was observed between mono-hydroxyisobutyl phthalate and LOC91450 (Rspearman = 0.88, p < .001). This correlation remained significant after Bonferroni adjustment. Other strong correlations were observed between mono-isobutyl phthalate, DPP10 and HOTTIP (Rspearman = -0.91, p < .001). AIRN, DACT3.AS1, DLX6, DPP10, HOTTIP, LOC143666, and LOC91450 were strongly correlated with the greatest number of phthalate metabolites. Further studies are needed to validate these results and understand if the altered expression of lncRNAs in human placenta has clinical significance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) consist of a cluster of RNAs having >200 nucleotides lacking protein-coding function. Recent studies indicate that lncRNAs are involved in various cellular processes and their aberrant expression may lead to tumour development and progression. They may also serve as oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes in other diseases. In this review, we emphasize current investigations involving clinical management, tumour progression and the molecular mechanism of SNHG1 in human cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigate and summarize recent studies regarding the biologic functions and mechanisms of lncRNA SNHG1 in tumorigenesis. Related studies were obtained through a systematic search of google scholar, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. RESULTS SNHG1 is a novel oncogenic lncRNA aberrantly expressed in different diseases including colorectal, liver, lung, prostate, gastric and esophageal cancers as well as ischemic stroke, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, neuroblastoma, renal cell carcinoma and osteosarcoma. Upregulation of SNHG1 was significantly associated with advanced tumour stage, tumour size, TNM stage and decreased overall survival. Furthermore, aberrant expression of SNHG1 contributes to cell proliferation, metastasis, migration and invasion of cancer cells. CONCLUSION SNHG1 likely acts as a useful tumour biomarker for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

Abstract
Transcriptome analysis has identified a plethora of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expressed in the human brain and associated with neurological diseases. However, whether lncRNAs expression levels correlate with Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis remains unknown. Herein, we show that a number of lncRNA genes encompassing transcriptional units in close proximity to PD-linked protein-coding genes, including SNCA, LRRK2, PINK1, DJ-1, UCH-L1, MAPT and GBA1, are expressed in human dopaminergic cells and post-mortem material, such as cortex, Substantia Nigra and cerebellum. Interestingly, these lncRNAs are upregulated during neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells and of dopaminergic neurons generated from human fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. Importantly, six lncRNAs are found under-expressed in the nigra and three in the cerebellum of PD patients compared to controls. Simultaneously, SNCA mRNA levels are increased in the nigra, while LRRK2 and PINK1 mRNA levels are decreased both in the nigra and the cerebellum of PD subjects compared to controls, indicating a possible correlation between the expression profile of the respective lncRNAs with their adjacent coding genes. Interestingly, all dysregulated lncRNAs are also detected in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and four of them in exosomes derived from human cerebrospinal fluid, providing initial evidence for their potential use as diagnostic tools for PD. Our data raise the intriguing possibility that these lncRNAs may be involved in disease pathogenesis by regulating their neighboring PD-associated genes and may thus represent novel targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment of PD or related diseases.

Abstract
Exosomes, which are lipid bilayer membrane vesicles, have been implicated as carriers of biological macromolecules. In recent years, the functions of exosomes in the spreading of pathological conversion of proteins among neurons have drawn particular attention in Parkinson's disease research. Extracellular α-synuclein is proven to be associated with exosomes in vivo and in vitro. The contents of these exosomes may be altered during the pathological and clinical processes, serving as a potential target for biomarker development in Parkinson's disease. This Review highlights the current understanding of biogenesis and pathophysiological roles of exosomes. Meanwhile, exosomes are promising delivery vehicles. Artificial exosomes can be loaded with defined therapeutically active molecules, such as drugs, small interfering RNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and proteins to the brain, ensuring the site-specific targeting strategy to the recipient cells. Therefore, we will also discuss the potential applications of exosomes in developing modified exosome-based drug carrier systems to halt the pathologic propagation of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons are involved in diverse neurological functions, including control of movements, emotions or reward. In turn, their dysfunctions cause severe clinical manifestations in humans, such as the appearance of motor and cognitive symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease. The physiology and pathophysiology of these neurons are widely studied, mostly with respect to molecular mechanisms implicating protein-coding genes. In contrast, the contribution of non-coding elements of the genome to DA neuron function is poorly investigated. In this study, we isolated DA neurons from E14.5 ventral mesencephalons in mice, and used RNA-seq and ATAC-seq to establish and describe repertoires of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and putative DNA regulatory regions specific to this neuronal population. We identified 1,294 lncRNAs constituting the repertoire of DA neurons, among which 939 were novel. Most of them were not found in hindbrain serotonergic (5-HT) neurons, indicating a high degree of cell-specificity. This feature was also observed regarding open chromatin regions, as 39% of the ATAC-seq peaks from the DA repertoire were not detected in the 5-HT neurons. Our work provides for the first time DA-specific catalogues of non-coding elements of the genome that will undoubtedly participate in deepening our knowledge regarding DA neuronal development and dysfunctions.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts which are usually more than 200 nt in length, and which do not have the protein-coding capacity. LncRNAs can be categorized based on their generation from distinct DNA elements, or derived from specific RNA processing pathways. During the past several decades, dramatic progress has been made in understanding the regulatory functions of lncRNAs in diverse biological processes, including RNA processing and editing, cell fate determination, dosage compensation, genomic imprinting and development etc. Dysregulation of lncRNAs is involved in multiple human diseases, especially neurological disorders. In this review, we summarize the recent progress made with regards to the function of lncRNAs and associated molecular mechanisms, focusing on neuronal development and neurological disorders.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and its incidence is rising. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to have essential roles in development of PD. LncRNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is dysregulated in PD, while the role of MALAT1 and its mechanism in PD remain poorly understood. In this study, SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to induce a PD model in vitro. Then we explored the effect of MALAT1 on cell viability, apoptosis and inflammatory response as well as its interaction with miR-212 in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. The results showed that MALAT1 was up-regulated in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells compared with that in the normal group. Overexpression of MALAT1 exacerbated MPP+-induced neuronal injury, uncovered by inhibition of cell viability and increase of cell apoptosis as well as inflammatory cytokine expressions in SH-SY5Y cells. However, knockdown of MALAT1 exerted the opposite effect in MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, MALAT1 was bound to miR-212 and negatively regulated the miR-212 level. Furthermore, addition of miR-212 ablated the regulatory effect of MALAT1 on MPP+-induced neuronal injury, as indicated by restoration of cell viability and lower apoptotic rate along with inflammatory cytokine levels in SH-SY5Y cells. Therefore, we concluded that MALAT1 exacerbated MPP+-induced neuronal injury through regulating cell viability, apoptosis and inflammatory cytokines by sponging miR-212, providing a novel theoretical foundation for application of MALAT1 in PD.

LincRNA-p21 Inhibits Cell Viability and Promotes Cell Apoptosis in Parkinson's Disease through Activating α-Synuclein Expression. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:8181374.

Abstract
Long intergenic noncoding RNA-p21 (lincRNA-p21) has been reported to be increased in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the function and underlying mechanisms of lincRNA-p21 remain not clear. In order to explore the role of lincRNA-p21 in PD, we used 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to induce in vivo PD model (C57BL/6 mice) and utilized N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to create in vitro PD model (SH-SY5Y cells). Results showed that the expression level of lincRNA-p21 was increased significantly in PD models. High abundance of lincRNA-p21 inhibited viability and promoted apoptosis markedly in SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP+. Mechanistically, further experiments demonstrated that upregulation of lincRNA-p21 could sponge miR-1277-5p and indirectly increase the expression of α-synuclein to suppress viability and activate apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. In short, our study illustrated that lincRNA-p21/miR-1277-5p axis regulated viability and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells treated with MPP+ via targeting α-synuclein. LincRNA-p21 might be a novel target for PD.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the contributions of the MALAT1 long noncoding RNA to autoimmune neuroinflammation in central nervous system tissues from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Expression of MALAT1 was decreased in the spinal cords of EAE mice as well as in stimulated splenocytes and primary macrophages. MALAT1 downregulation by specific siRNAs enhanced the polarization of macrophages towards the M1 phenotype. Interestingly, siRNA-mediated MALAT1 downregulation shifted the pattern of T-cell differentiation towards a Th1/Th17 cell profile and decreased differentiation towards a Tregs phenotype. Proliferation of T-cells was also increased following MALAT1 downregulation. These data point to a potential anti-inflammatory effect for MALAT1 in the context of autoimmune neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) has been demonstrated to be upregulated and play a crucial role in the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the exact role of SNHG1 and its underlying mechanisms in PD remains elusive. In this study, we found that SNHG1 and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) were upregulated, but miR-15b-5p was downregulated in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+ )-treated SH-SY5Y cells. The upregulation of SNHG1 enhanced MPP+ -induced cellular toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells, as shown by decreased cell viability, increased ROS production, and increased number of TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End labeling-positive cells, accompanied with the upregulation of cleaved caspase 3 and elevation of cytochrome C release. Meanwhile, SNHG1 knockdown presented the converse effects. SNHG1 was demonstrated to interact with miR-15b-5p. Moreover, SNHG1 could attenuate the inhibitory effects of miR-15b-5p on MPP+ -induced cytotoxicity and production of ROS. Besides, GSK3β was identified as a direct target of miR-15b-5p. The inhibitory effects of SNHG1 knockdown or miR-15b-5p overexpression on MPP+ -induced cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were abrogated by upregulation of GSK3β. Taken together, these results demonstrate that upregulated lncRNA SNHG1 promotes MPP+ -induced cytotoxicity and ROS production through the miR-15b-5p/GSK3β axis in human dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells, suggesting that SNHG1 may act as a potential therapeutic target for PD treatment in the future.

Abstract
Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, resveratrol was shown to regulate the expression of MALAT1. Therefore, the objective of this study was to clarify the role of resveratrol in PD. During the study, luciferase assays were conducted to determine the effect of resveratrol on the transcription efficiency of MALAT1 promoter as well as the regulatory relationships among MALAT1, miR-129, and SNCA. In addition, real-time PCR, Western blot analysis, MTT and flow cytometry analyses were conducted to investigate the mechanism of resveratrol in PD. Furthermore, a PD mouse model was established to study the role of resveratrol in vivo. It was found that resveratrol increased the number of TH+ cells and the expression of miR-129, while decreasing the expression of MALAT1 and SNCA. In addition, MALAT1 inhibited the expression of miR-129, a negative regulator of SNCA, thus increasing the expression of SNCA. A further mechanistic study revealed that resveratrol inhibited MALAT1 expression by blocking the transcription of the MALAT1 promoter. Finally, MPTP treatment could decrease cell proliferation and increase cell apoptosis, while resveratrol could partly offset the effect of MPTP. In summary, the therapeutic effect of resveratrol in the treatment of PD can be attributed to its ability to modulate the MALAT1/miR-129/SNCA signaling pathway.
