MicroRNAs from extracellular vesicles as a signature for Parkinson's disease.

Neurological diseases are on the rise – and as societies age, they affect an ever-increasing number of people, not only in Europe, but worldwide.

The Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) investigates how complex neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis develop. Even though these diseases differ in their clinical manifestations, overlapping mechanisms are involved in their development. For example, the immune system gets activated in dementia, ...

This project serves as a centralized repository for omics datasets published by research groups within the SyNergy Cluster. It encompasses investigations such as proteomics and transcriptomics, which are further divided into individual studies led by SyNergy members. Each study is linked to relevant publications, assays and data files (with links to external repositories).

In the present study, we have demonstrated that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) represent a promising source for the identification of a novel miRNA signatures in Parkinson's disease (PD). Using next‐generation small‐RNA sequencing, we present for the first time the complete and quantitative microRNAome of EVs isolated from human CSF of PD and age‐correlated controls (CTR). In parallel, we performed CSF proteomic profiling of overlapping patient cohorts, which ...
