Abstract Details

Micro RNAs (miRNA) Disregulation in Multiple Sclerosis Related Cognitive Impairment; pilot study
Multiple Sclerosis
P10 - Poster Session 10 (5:30 PM-6:30 PM)
9-017

Compare people with MS (pwMS) with (wCI) and without (woCI) cognitive impairment(CI) on expression of

1)  hypothesized miRNAs -9, -34, -34a, -124, -125, -125b, - miR-146, -146a, -155, -181c in CSF and plasma

2) all other miRNAs sequences in CSF and plasma

3) messenger RNA in CSF

4) using s network-visualization method for gene-set enrichment to build a network crosstalk map of  enriched pathways

40 to 60% of pwMS have CI  leading to loss of employment, functional decline, and social isolation. miRNA's are small RNA that regulate gene expression. Few data exist on the relation of miRNAs and CI in MS. Our study focused on  MiRs -9, -34, -34a, -124, -125, -125b, - miR-146, -146a, -155, -181c as these MiRNA’s are dysregulated in MS and in AD.  
26 pwMS, >18 years old, (EDSS) ≤ 6.5, participated, 14 wCI and 12 woCI. wCI defined as a score ≥ 1.5 SD and woCI as <1 SD standardized neuropsychological tests (sNST). LC Sciences (Houston TX, USA) analyzed cell free CSF (6 wCI, 8 wCI) and plasma (14wCI and 12 woCI) using Illumina's Truseq™ Small RNA isolation, Cluster Station sequencing and Sequencing Control Studio( v2.8) and Real-Time Analysis version 1.8.70 (RTA v1.8.70). 

1)A priory selected miRNA: In CSF hsa-miR-146b-5p (all p<0.05) were  lower in CI  vs non-CI group. miR hsa-miR-9-3p (p< 0.05) was higher in CI vs non-CI group. Plasma showed no differences.

2) All miRNA: In CSF, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-30c-5p (all p<0.01) were  lower in CI  vs non-CI group. 

3) RNA: ASIC2, RILPL1, LINC00211 (all p<1E-6) were higher in CI  vs non-CI group CSF. No differences in plasma.

CSF miRNA are more informative than plasma. miRNA related to neuronal progenitor and microglial activation are dysregulated in people with MS. CSF is more informative than plasma.
