In this study, blood levels of the candidate microRNAs (small noncoding RNAs that play a pivotal role in gene expression) miR-146a, miR-181a, miR-181b, miR-24-3p, miR-186a, miR-101, miR-339, miR-590, and miR-22 have been investigated for association to AD conversion within 2 years in a group of 45 patients with MCI. Baseline miR-146a (p = 0.036) and miR-181a (p = 0.026) showed a significant upregulation in patients with MCI who later converted to AD. These alterations were related to AD hallmarks: a significant negative correlation was found with amyloid beta cerebrospinal fluid concentration for miR-146a (p = 0.006) and miR-181a (p = 0.001). Moreover, higher levels of miR-146a were associated to apolipoprotein E ε4 allele presence, smaller volume of the hippocampus (p = 0.045) and of the CA1 (p = 0.013) and the subiculum (p = 0.027) subfields. Increased levels of miR-146a (p = 0.031) and miR-181a (p = 0.002) were also linked with diffusivity alterations in the cingulum. These data support a role for miR-146a and miR-181a in the mechanisms of AD progression.Show less >
