Paralysis or paraplegia caused by transient or permanent spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCIRI) remains one of the most devastating post-operative complications after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery, even though perioperative strategies and surgical techniques continue to improve. Uncovering the molecular and cellular pathophysiological processes in SCIRI has become a top priority. Recently, the expression, function, and mechanism of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in various diseases have drawn wide attention. Non-coding RNAs contain a variety of biological functions but do not code for proteins. Previous studies have shown that ncRNAs play a critical role in SCIRI. However, the character of ncRNAs in attenuating SCIRI has not been systematically summarized. This review article will be the first time to assemble the knowledge of ncRNAs regulating apoptosis, inflammation, autophagy, and oxidative stress to attenuate SCIRI. A better understanding of the functional significance of ncRNAs following SCIRI could help us to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop potential therapeutic strategies. All the current research about the function of nRNAs in SCIRI will be summarized one by one in this review.

Background: Compelling evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis including β-amyloid plaque deposition (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. In this study, we aimed to investigate the critical role of lncRNA Gm20063 in AD.

Method: Six-month-old male APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild type (WT) C57BL/6 (B6) littermates were obtained from the Nanjing University Animal Model Research Center.

Background: Despite significant advancements in the development of blood biomarkers for AD, challenges persist due to the complex interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors in AD pathogenesis. Epigenetic processes, including non-coding RNAs and especially microRNAs (miRs), have emerged as important players in the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. MiRs have the ability to fine-tune gene expression and proteostasis, and microRNAome profiling in liquid biopsies is gaining increasing interest since changes in miR levels can indicate the presence of multiple pathologies.

Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly observed on MRI in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the molecular pathways underlying their relationships with the ATN biomarkers remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants that may modify the relationship between WMH and the ATN biomarkers.

Method: This genome-wide interaction study (GWIS) included individuals with AD, MCI, and normal cognition from ADNI (n = 1012).

Background: Microglia are the major innate immune cells of the brain and play diverse roles in brain development and homeostasis. In the context of Alzheimer's disease, microglia acquire new phenotypes that can exert protective or pathogenic roles. Single cell and single nuclei RNA sequencing experiments have defined molecular signatures of different disease-associated microglia states associated with protective or pathogenic functions, but the mechanisms driving these transitions are not known.
