Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence suggests that microRNA (miR) dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). MiR-34b and miR-34c have been previously shown to be down-regulated in the brains of patients with PD. Here, we demonstrate that miR-34b and miR-34c repress the expression of α-synuclein (α-syn), a key protein in PD pathogenesis. Inhibition of miR-34b and miR-34c expression...
