Gain of survival signaling by down-regulation of three key miRNAs in brain of calorie-restricted mice

Abstract: The decline in cognitive robustness with aging can be attributed to complex genetic pathways involving many cellular dysfunctions, cumulative over time, precipitating in frailty and loss of wellness in the elderly brain. The size and health of the neuronal cell population determines cognitive robustness in mammals. A transgenic mouse model over-expressing Bcl-2 has been shown to rescue neurons from naturally occurring cell death (NOCD). Here we show that in the brain of calorie-restricted (CR) mice, there is a… Show more

“…A recent report shows a decrease in expression of three miRNAs (miR-181a-1-5p, miR-30e and miR-34a) following CR in the brains of aged mice. 25 All three miRNAs are shown to target translation of the Bcl-2 mRNA, demonstrating the potential for orchestrated actions of CR-mediated differentially expression of miRNAs.…”

“…The Bcl-2 protein resides in the outer mitochondrial wall, and acts as an anti-apoptotic factor by controlling mitochondrial permeability, thus regulating apoptosis [47]. Previous evidence of miRNA impact on cell survival mechanisms has been shown with miR-15, miR-16, miR-34a and miR-181a-1* targeting Bcl-2 mRNA and inducing apoptosis [48] [49]. Here from 10 months old to 20 months old ageing process, miR-15b, miR-195, miR-30c, miR-23a, miR-23b, miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-34c may bind with Bcl2 mRNA to participate in the regulation of apoptosis signal pathway (Table 3, Figure 5(C)).…”

“…Moreover, miR-92a was slightly down-regulated in the sera of SZ patients in comparison to controls [44]. Finally, down-regulation of miR-30 may be important for neuronal survival [45].…”
