Abstract
BACKGROUND: Beta-site Amyloid precursor protein Cleaving Enzyme 1 (BACE1) is conceived as a potential target for therapies against Alzheimer disease (AD) which is characterized by the accumulation of plaques formed of short β-amyloid (APPβ) peptides. Recently, such microRNAs, as miR-29a, miR-29b-1 have been shown to correlate with abnormally high levels of BACE1 and APPβ in sporadic AD. METHODS: In order to confirm whether miR-29c correlates with the BACE1 upregulation in sporadic AD, we firstly evaluated the expression of miR-29c and BACE1, the APPβ accumulation in sporadic AD brain tissues and analyzed the correlation of miR-29c with BACE1. Then we determined the regulation of miR-29c in human heuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells on the BACE1 expression and APPβ accumulation. And finally we determined the targeting to 3' UTR of BACE1 by miR-29c by a luciferase reporter. RESULTS: It was demonstrated that miR-29c was downregulated in sporadic AD brains, in an association with an upregulation of BACE1 in both mRNA and protein level of BACE1, and also an elevated APPβ accumulation. And the manipulated high level of miR-29c with miR-29c mimics transfection significantly reduced the protein level of BACE1 and APPβ accumulation in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Further luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-29c targets the 3' UTR of BACE1 and downregulated the BACE1 in HEK293 cells. CONCLUSION: Present study indicated that miR-29c was downregulated in sporadic AD brains, and it targeted the 3' UTR of BACE1, reduced the BACE1 expression, and downregulated the APPβ accumulation in vitro.
