MiR-539-5p Decreases amyloid β-protein production, hyperphosphorylation of Tau and Memory Impairment by Regulating PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β Pathways in APP/PS1 Double Transgenic Mice

The production of amyloid β (Aβ) and tau hyperphosphorylation have been identified as key processes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. MiR-539-5p has been found to be abnormally expressed in brain tissue; however, the functional role of miR-539-5p in the pathogenesis of AD remains unclear. In our study, we found that the expression of miR-539-5p was significantly downregulated in humans and mice with AD and was negatively correlated with...
