Abstract

The number of studies highlighting the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human physiology and diseases is growing, but many miRNA-driven regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. A proper understanding of the exact functions of individual miRNAs and their interaction with specific targets is vitally important because such knowledge might help cure diseases for which no effective treatment currently exists. Herein, we present current views on the role of the miRNA-mediated regulation of gene expression in the case of select spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) and their potential involvement in the pathogenesis of these diseases. Specifically, we summarize published data showing the known links between miRNAs and CAG repeat-dependent SCAs. Moreover, using the example of SCA type 3 (SCA3), we refer to the issue of prediction and validation of miRNA targets, and we demonstrate that miR-181a-1 may regulate the 3'-UTR of the ATXN3 gene.
