Brain-enriched miR-128: Reduced in exosomes from Parkinson's patient plasma, improves synaptic integrity, and prevents 6-OHDA mediated neuronal apoptosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with the death of mid-brain dopaminergic neurons. Unfortunately, no effective cure or diagnostic biomarkers for PD are available yet. To address this, the present study focuses on brain-enriched small non-coding regulatory RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs) that are released into the circulation packaged inside small extracellular vesicles called exosomes. We collected blood samples from PD patients and isolated exosomes from the plasma. qPCR-based detection revealed a particular neuron-enriched miR-128 to be significantly decreased in the patient-derived exosomes. Interestingly, a concomitant decreased expression of miR-128 was observed in the cellular models of PD. Fluorescent live cell imaging and flow-cytometry revealed that over-expression of miR-128 can prevent 6-OHDA-mediated mitochondrial superoxide production and induction of neuronal death respectively. This neuroprotective effect was found to be induced by miR-128-mediated inhibition of FoxO3a activation, a transcription factor involved in apoptosis. miR-128 over-expression also resulted in down-regulation of pro-apoptotic FoxO3a targets- FasL and PUMA, at both transcript and protein levels. Further downstream, miR-128 over-expression inhibited activation of caspases-8, -9 and -3, preventing both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. Additionally, over expression of miR-128 prevented down-regulation of synaptic proteins- Synaptophysin and PSD-95 and attenuated neurite shortening, thereby maintaining overall neuronal integrity. Thus, our study depicts the intracellular role of miR-128 in neuronal apoptosis and neurodegeneration and its implications as a biomarker being detectable in the circulating exosomes of PD patient blood. Thus, characterization of such exosomal brain-enriched miRNAs hold promise for effective detection and diagnosis of PD.
