Inhibition of miR-96-5p in the mouse brain increases glutathione levels by altering NOVA1 expression
Abstract
Chisato Kinoshita et al. use a microbubble and ultrasound delivery system to inhibit miR-96-5p in the mouse brain. They demonstrate that miR96-5p regulates glutathione levels through the NOVA1 RNA binding protein, suggesting that this microRNA could be a target for altering glutathione levels in neurodegenerative disease.
