MicroRNA-495 Modulates Neuronal Layer Fate Determination by Targeting
Article in International journal of biological sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
During cortical development, the differentiation potential of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is one of the most critical steps in normal cortical formation and function. Defects in this process can lead to many brain disorders. MicroRNA dysregulation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is associated with risk for a variety of developmental and psychiatric conditions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that microRNA-495-3p (miR-495) is expressed in NPCs of the developing mouse cerebral cortex. Furthermore, aberrant expression of miR-495 promotes the formation of superficial neurons. Our results suggest that miR-495 can target transcription factor 4 (TCF4), a gene linked to the neurodevelopmental disorder Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS), to ensure normal differentiation of NPCs in the developing cerebral cortex. Furthermore, TCF4 loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments show opposite effects on miR-495 regulation of neural progenitor differentiation potential. Together, these results demonstrated that miR-495 regulates cortical development through TCF4 for the first time.
