Intranasal Administration of miR-146a Agomir Rescued the Pathological Process and Cognitive Impairment in an AD Mouse Model.


ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and cannot be cured. The etiology and pathogenesis of AD is still not fully understood, the genetics is considered to be one of the most important factors for AD onset, and the identified susceptible genes could provide clues to the AD mechanism and also be the potential targets. MicroRNA-146a-5p (miR-146a) is well known in the regulation of the inflammatory response, and the functional SNP of miR-146a was associated with AD risk. In this study, using a noninvasive nasal administration, we discovered that a miR-146a agomir (M146AG) rescued cognitive impairment in the APP/PS1 transgenic mouse and alleviated the overall pathological process in the AD mouse model, including neuroinflammation, glia activation, A? deposit, and tau phosphorylation in hippocampi. Furthermore, the transcriptional analysis revealed that besides the effect of neuroinflammation, M146AG may serve as a multi-potency target for intervention in AD. In addition, Srsf6 was identified as a target of miR-146a, which may play a role in AD progression. In conclusion, our study supports that the nasal-to-brain pathway is efficient and operable for the brain administration of microRNAs (miRNAs), and that miR-146a may be a new potential target for AD treatment.
