Objective: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common genetic cause of infant mortality. Nusinersen treatment ameliorates the clinical outcome of SMA, however, some patients respond well, while others have limited response. We investigated microRNAs in blood samples from SMA patients and their response to nusinersen treatment evaluating the potential of circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for SMA.

Background: Several studies have reported an association between microRNAs (miRNAs) and hypertension or cardiovascular disease (CVD). In a previous study performed on a group of 38 patients, we observed a cluster of 3 miRNAs (miR-378a-3p, miR-100-5p, and miR-486-5p) that were functionally associated with the cardiovascular system that predicted a favorable blood pressure (BP) response to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with resistant hypertension (RH) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (HIPARCO score). However, little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Aims: Vascular calcification (VC) increases the future risk of cardiovascular events in uraemic patients, but effective therapies are still unavailable. Accurate identification of those at risk of developing VC using pathogenesis-based biomarkers is of particular interest and may facilitate individualized risk stratification. We aimed to uncover microRNA (miRNA)-target protein-based biomarker panels for evaluating uraemic VC probability and severity.

Chronic stress triggers a variety of physical and mental health problems, and how individuals cope with stress influences risk for emotional disorders. To investigate molecular mechanisms underlying distinct stress coping styles, we utilized rats that were selectively-bred for differences in emotionality and stress reactivity. We show that high novelty responding (HR) rats readily bury a shock probe in the defensive burying test, a measure of proactive stress coping behavior, while low novelty responding (LR) rats exhibit enhanced immobility, a measure of reactive coping.
