Ago2-seq identifies new microRNA targets for seizure control
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs that shape the gene expression landscape, including during the pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In order to provide a full catalog of the miRNA changes that happen during experimental TLE, we sequenced Argonaute 2-loaded miRNAs in the hippocampus of three different animal models at regular intervals between the time of the initial precipitating insult to the establishment of spontaneous recurrent seizures. The commonly upregulated miRNAs were selected for a functional in vivo screen using oligonucleotide inhibitors. This revealed anti-seizure phenotypes upon inhibition of miR-10a-5p, miR-21a-5p and miR-142a-5p as well as neuroprotection-only effects for inhibition of miR-27a-3p and miR-431-5p. Proteomic data and pathway analysis on predicted and validated targets of these miRNAs indicated a role for TGFβ signaling in a shared seizure-modifying mechanism. Together, these results identify functional miRNAs in the hippocampus and a pipeline of new targets for seizure control in epilepsy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
