Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease from elevated olfactory mucosal miR-206 level.


ABSTRACT: MicroRNA-206, which suppresses the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, is known to be elevated in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. We performed intranasal biopsy of the olfactory epithelia of early dementia patients (n?=?24) and cognitively healthy controls (n?=?9). Patients with significant depression (n?=?8) were analyzed separately, as their cognitive impairments were thought to be caused by their depression. Real-time PCR was performed on the biopsied tissues. The relative microRNA-206 level exhibited a 7.8-fold increase (P?=?0.004) in the mild cognitive impairment group (CDR 0.5; n?=?13) and a 41.5-fold increase (P?
