Microglia-targeted inhibition of miR-17 via mannose-coated lipid nanoparticles improves pathology and behavior in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Neuroinflammation and accumulation of Amyloid Beta (Aβ) accompanied by deterioration of special memory are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Effective preventative and treatment options for AD are still needed. Microglia in AD brains are characterized by elevated levels of microRNA-17 (miR-17), which is accompanied by defective autophagy, Aβ accumulation, and increased inflammatory cytokine production. However, the effect of targeting miR-17 on AD pathology and memory loss is not clear. To specifically inhibit miR-17 in microglia, we generated mannose-coated lipid nanoparticles (MLNPs) enclosing miR-17 antagomir (Anti-17 MLNPs), which are targeted to mannose receptors readily expressed on microglia. We used a 5XFAD mouse model (AD) that recapitulates many AD-related phenotypes observed in humans. Our results show that Anti-17 MLNPs, delivered to 5XFAD mice by intra-cisterna magna injection, specifically deliver Anti-17 to microglia. Anti-17 MLNPs downregulated miR-17 expression in microglia but not in neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Anti-17 MLNPs attenuated inflammation, improved autophagy, and reduced Aβ burdens in the brains. Additionally, Anti-17 MLNPs reduced the deterioration in spatial memory and decreased anxiety-like behavior in 5XFAD mice. Therefore, targeting miR-17 using MLNPs is a viable strategy to prevent several AD pathologies. This selective targeting strategy delivers specific agents to microglia without the adverse off-target effects on other cell types. Additionally, this approach can be used to deliver other molecules to microglia and other immune cells in other organs.
