CONCLUSIONS - I
A. nELAVs and hnRNPA2/B1 proteins bind a specific U-rich region in
CDK5R1 3’-UTR
B. nELAVs have a stabilizing effect on CDK5R1 transcript and
positively regulate its expression
C. hnRNPA2/B1 has a destabilizing effect on CDK5R1 mRNA and
negatively regulates its expression

CONCLUSIONS - II
A. The miR-15/107 group of miRNAs is involved in CDK5R1 regulation
B. miR-15/107 miRNAs are able to reduce APP phosphorylation at
threonin 668, suggesting their role in the regulation of CDK5 activity
(without affecting CDK5 levels)
C. The miR-15/107 family is downregulated and CDK5R1 levels are
upregulated in AD brains

CONCLUSIONS - III
A. NEAT1, HOTAIR, and MALAT1 long non-coding RNAs differently

B. NEAT1, HOTAIR, and MALAT1 upregulate miR-15/107 expression
C. MALAT1 enhances CDK5R1 expression by upregulating EGR1
transcription factor
D. NEAT1 is upregulated in AD temporal cortex and hippocampus:
protective or pathogenic mechanism?
