Embodiment 1

[0100] Example 1. Profile analysis of small RNAs (small RNAs) related to the aging process of the hippocampus

[0101] In the present invention, in order to understand the microRNAs that mediate the regulation of the aging process of the hippocampus, small RNA (small RNA; smRNA or sRNA, hereinafter referred to as sRNA) was performed on male mice of 2 months, 6 months, and 18 months. analyze.

[0102] 1-1: Animal preparation and tissue collection

[0103] Three common wild animals of different ages at 2 months, 6 months and 18 months were obtained from the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience & Biotechnology-Institutional animal care and use committee (KRIBB-IACUC). type male C57BL / 6J mice.

[0104] Hippocampus tissue was immediately dissected and cryopreserved using liquid nitrogen by sacrificing normal mice without tumors or traces of disease. Their health status was confirmed by a series of serum tests, and eight hippocampal tissues were obtained from four mice in eac...

Embodiment 2

[0132] Example 2. Analysis of the pathway of the target gene

[0133] All catalogs of expected target genes expressing different microRNAs according to the aging process were input into the gene function analysis of DAVID, KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of a Genes and Genomes) together with the basic parameters limited to the results of the mouse species ( http: / / david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov / ) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis) ( Systems, http: / / www.ingenuity.com ).

[0136]

[0137] As a result, as shown in Table 2 above, a variety of biological effects were derived, mainly expected to be quite significant in the presence of cancer-related pathways, but for the relatively little-studied axon guidance pathway in aging (p = 4.5E- 18) Further research was carried out. Such as Figure 2a As shown, it is the same as the schematic diagram of the axon guidance pathway (axon guidance pathway). In the present invention, it is attem...

Embodiment 3

[0138] Example 3. Confirmation of Eph / ephrin pathway regulation according to aging

[0139] 3-1: Confirmation of mRNA expression level

[0140] In the present invention, in order to understand how the expression of Eph / ephrin subfamily (subfamily) changes with aging, real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed.

[0141] First, in order to synthesize cDNA by reverse-transcribing the RNA of the mouse hippocampal tissue isolated in each step in Example 1, PrimeScript was used TM RT reagent Kit (Promega ImPromm-II ReverseTranscription system). Total RNA (1 μg each) was used for generation of cDNA templates according to the manufacturer's instructions, the total reaction volume was 20 μl and the thermal cycler (Bio-Rad Thermal Cycler) from Bio-Rad (Bio-Rad, USA) was used. react.

[0142] Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction utilizes Bio-Rad real-time PCR system (Bio-Rad real time PCRsystem) (CFX-96) to carry out, ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining a decrease in the functions of the hippocampus by using the correlation between a micro RNA (miRNA) and an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), a method for inhibiting the decrease in the functions, and a method for screening for inhibitors of the decrease in the functions. The present invention confirms that miR-204, among miRNAs up-regulated in an aged hippocampus, decreases the expression of EphB2, by accurately targeting EphB2, which is an important regulatory receptor, resulting in a decrease in the neuronal surface expression ofan NR1 subunit of an NMDAR in hippocampal nerves and a decrease in the density of dendrites, thereby having an effect of determining whether the functions of the hippocampus are decreased, by using the correlation between a miRNA and an NMDAR, and furthermore, has an effect of providing a method for inhibiting the decrease in the functions of the hippocampus, and a method for screening for inhibitors of the decrease in the functions.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0086823 filed on June 18, 2015, and the full text of the above specification is a reference of this application. The present invention relates to the use of microRNA (micro RNA; miRNA) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor; NMDAR) receptor related relationship of hippocampal functional decline Judgment method, method of suppressing functional decline, and screening method of functional decline inhibitor, in more detail, in aging hippocampus (Hippocampus), eph / ephrin mediates axon guidance signal with increased expression of miRNA-204 The pathway (Eph / ephrin mediated axon guidance signaling pathway) is down-regulated, thereby reducing the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the hippocampus, so use their correlation to determine whether the function of the hippocampus is declining, Further provided are a method for suppressing hippocampal f...
