Abstract

Over the years, there has been extensive research conducted on Parkinson’s Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder known for causing motor impairment and behavioral changes. In more recent years, the roles of dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in PD pathology have been studied in the hopes of developing new diagnostic methods or even treatments. This systematic review pinpoints and examines studies between 2010 and 2024 that have identified significant dysregulation of miRNAs in patients with PD. Upon filtering out the search results by a series of exclusion criteria, this review was conducted using 56 relevant studies. These studies revealed a vast array of significantly dysregulated miRNAs identified in the samples of patients with PD, when compared to healthy controls. A number of these miRNAs, such as miR-29c-3p, are likely biomarkers for more accurate PD diagnosis, and many, such as miR-485-3p, were found to be involved in PD pathogenesis. With further research, miRNAs could become a helpful diagnostic and prognostic tool for PD, with some of them even being candidate therapeutic targets for future treatments.

1. Introduction

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is caused by the accumulation of α-synuclein, leading to progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the midbrain [1]. The disease is generally characterized by motor impairment, which becomes more severe over time. This consists of muscle rigidity that can make voluntary movements difficult and lead to involuntary tremors [2]. Additional symptoms related to PD include constipation, sleep disturbances, and an increased risk of mental problems, such as anxiety or cognitive impairment [2]. Despite extensive research on PD being conducted, the exact etiology of the disorder remains unknown [2]. This is likely due to PD having multifactorial origins in the majority of cases [3]. There are several known risk factors that can increase the chance of developing PD, which include, old age, exposure to toxic substances, head trauma, being male, and genetic susceptibility [1,2,3] and of these, the greatest risk factor is considered to be aging [2], with the prevalence of the disease expected to dramatically increase in the following decades [3]. PD can be divided into idiopathic PD (iPD) and familial PD (fPD). iPD constitutes approximately 95% of PD cases and is believed to be linked to several factors, while fPD has monogenic forms that can be inherited [4]. Genes associated with fPD include the Alpha-synuclein gene (SNCA), Vesicle Protein Sorting 35 gene (VPS35), PTEN Induced Kinase 1 gene (PINK1), Parkin gene (PRKN), Parkinsonism Associated Deglycase (PARK7), Phospholipase A2 Group VI gene (PLA2G6), Glucosylceramidase Beta gene (GBA), and Leucine–Rich Repeat Kinase 2 gene (LRRK2), among others [1,2]. Some of these genes, such as SNCA and VPS35, are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, while others, like PINK1 and PRKN, are autosomal recessive [1,2]. Moreover, the genes GBA and LRRK2 show variable penetrance [2].
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs consisting of around 21 to 24 nucleotides that bind to targeted mRNAs and inhibit their translation into proteins. Some miRNAs are expressed only in specific tissues, while others can be found in all parts of the body [5,6]. The expression of miRNAs has been noted to be dysregulated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including PD, with many even playing a role in the development and progression of the disorder [5]. It should be noted that miRNA dysregulation could be caused by other, independent mechanisms. A known potential cause for this is mutations in genes that encode for certain proteins, which are involved in miRNA biogenesis. Such mutations can result in dysregulation of pre-miRNA splicing and maturation, leading to altered miRNA expression. Dysregulation in the expression of genes that are essential in miRNA biogenesis has even been linked to the development or pathological mechanism of serious conditions such as cancer and infertility [7,8].
While this study focuses on miRNAs mainly related to PD and perhaps a few other neurodegenerative diseases, there are known miRNAs that play central roles in the nervous system, which are involved in all types of neurodegeneration. These include miRNAs responsible for the homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) (miR-124, miR-125, and miR-132) and miRNAs related to immunity (miR-21, miR-146a, and miR-155) [9].
Due to their role in regulating gene expression, as well as their involvement in pathogenesis, some miRNAs have also been considered as potential therapeutic targets for certain neurodegenerative diseases, with examples including miR-455-3p and miR-125b for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and miR-23a for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), as well as miR-155a and miR-146a for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) [10]. This usually consists of trying to mediate the dysregulation of key miRNAs, either by using miRNA sponges to reduce upregulated miRNAs or with miRNA mimics to increase downregulated miRNAs, accordingly [10]. There are several miRNA-based treatments currently being tested on animal and cell models with promising results for multiple neurodegenerative diseases. There are, however, some limitations to overcome, such as achieving efficient transportation of mimic miRNAs to the targeted tissues and passing through the blood–brain barrier (BBB) [10]. Certain miRNAs that regulate genes linked to PD, such as SNCA, LRRK2, and PARK2, have even been considered to play a role in the causation of PD [11]. Moreover, differences in miRNA expression have been shown to predict PD development, as well as the development of isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) [12].
In order to better understand the diagnostic value and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in PD, a review of the available literature needs to be conducted. This systematic review focuses on PD patient-derived studies involving miRNAs as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The aim of this review is to summarize the available literature and evaluate which miRNAs are more closely related to PD.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Studies Included

To better understand the involvement of miRNAs in PD development and progression, a review of the literature was conducted, utilizing electronic databases such as PubMed, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Social Science Research Network (SSRN). The search spanned studies between 2010 and 2024. The following prompt words were used ‘’Parkinson’s Disease and miRNA’’. The research papers identified were then screened through their abstract to see if they fit the purposes of the study, with articles found to be eligible studied more thoroughly. Studies that were unrelated to miRNAs or focused solely on other neurodegenerative diseases were excluded. The review consisted of full-text articles written in the English language. The initial search yielded 1376 research articles. Due to this high number of results, the decision was made to focus on studies conducted on human patients with PD, with the main goal of investigating potential miRNA biomarkers for PD. Studies that involved animal models or cell models were not included. Additionally, experimental studies that solely analyzed the function of miRNAs were excluded. After filtering out studies that did not fulfil the inclusion criteria, a total of 56 articles were used in this review. The selection process can be seen in Figure 1. This systematic review was based on the PRISMA guidelines [13] (https://www.prisma-statement.org/prisma-2020 accessed on 12 December 2025), and the PRISMA checklist can be found in Supplementary Data in Table S1.

2.2. Assessment of Risk Bias in Included Studies

To better assess the validity of our review and detect potential limitations, the risk bias of the studies included was estimated through the use of quality assessment tools. Both case–control studies and cohort studies included were examined using the NIH study quality assessment tools https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/study-quality-assessment-tools (accessed on 31 October 2025).

3. Results

3.1. Studies Included Within the Review

After the search and selection process, this review was mainly conducted using case-control studies [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66], as well as some cohort studies [19,27,43,45,46,54,56,58,67,68,69]. To maintain the relevance of the research to the subject, a series of exclusion criteria was applied. These included (i) systematic reviews or other meta-analyses, (ii) studies on other neurodegenerative diseases, (iii) studies unavailable in English, (iv) studies based on bioinformatics data, (v) studies unrelated to miRNA or PD, (vi) retracted articles, and (vii) studies with no human participants. It should be noted that studies that were conducted on human participants but also used animal or cell models to verify their results were not excluded.

3.2. Characteristics of PD Patient Studies

A total of 56 research articles were studied for the purposes of this review. The vast majority of these studies involved the identification of miRNA biomarkers that can improve prognosis or diagnosis by differentiating between PD and healthy controls, or other neurological conditions. A notable number of these miRNAs were detected in a variety of tissues derived from PD patients, including whole blood samples, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), saliva, leukocytes, and post-mortem brain tissues. In some studies, the role of the identified miRNAs in PD pathogenesis was also researched. This results in some miRNA biomarkers being labelled as potential therapeutic targets for future research. All studies included were performed on human samples; however, some studies also used animal cell models to verify their results. The full list of the studies used in the review, along with their characteristics and findings, is illustrated in Table 1.
Table 1. Summarization of the studies involving the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in PD.

3.3. Findings of Included Studies

The main finding across the reviewed studies was the identification of a variety of dysregulated miRNAs from different tissues that can be utilized as biomarkers to distinguish PD from healthy controls or other neurodegenerative disorders. Examples of effective biomarkers that were found to reliably distinguish PD from other disorders and healthy controls include the miRNAs miR-29a-3p, miR-29c-3p, and miR-6756-5p, which were detected in the saliva, making them a non-invasive diagnostic tool (Jiang et al., 2021) [49]. The most significant of these was miR-29a-3p. Biomarkers can also be used to monitor disease progression, such as miR-376a, whose higher concentration has been associated with more severe PD pathology (Baghi et al., 2020) [31]. In many cases, miRNAs were found to play a role in PD pathogenesis through the pathways they regulate. Due to this, some of these studies suggest certain miRNAs as candidates for the development of treatments or for monitoring the progress of already existing treatments. This can be seen in the case of miR-155-5p, which showed milder dysregulation when a higher dosage of Levodopa was administered (Caggiu et al., 2018) [53]. The functional significance, biological function of the identified miRNAs, along with their validation status, can be seen in Supplementary Table S5.

4. Discussion

In recent years, the involvement of miRNA in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders has been extensively researched. Through these studies, the connection between miRNA dysregulation and the development of neurodegenerative disease, including PD, has been established [10,12].
In this review, we have summarized the results of several such studies focused on PD, in order to compile our knowledge of miRNA biomarkers that can improve our diagnostic and prognostic capabilities for this disorder. Several miRNA biomarkers were identified, with many of them playing an active role in PD pathology. The involvement and significance of these miRNAs varied, with some being identified and studied more consistently than others. A number of these miRNAs have also been suggested as potential therapeutic targets.

4.1. miRNA Biomarkers in PD

For example, two individual studies by Lin et al. [15] and Nair & Ge [40] investigated miR-485-3p as a promising biomarker that could distinguish patients with PD from healthy controls, as well as patients with AD [15,40]. In both of these studies, miR-485-3p expression was found to be significantly upregulated in post-mortem brain tissue samples and serum obtained from patients with PD. This miRNA was also found to regulate inflammation and to be involved in PD progression [15]. These results are in accordance with the literature, as the dysregulation of miR-485-3p, along with its direct involvement in AD and PD development through the inflammatory processes it regulates, has been researched in other studies [95,96]. Moreover, inhibition of miR-485-3p has been shown to reduce inflammation and amyloid plaque aggregation in AD mice, while helping preserve cognitive function [95]. The known validated target genes for miR-485-3p so far are AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (AKT3) and Peroxisome proliferator-activated-receptor-γ cofactor 1-alpha (PGC1α), which are involved in neuroinflammation and apoptosis [96].
Another prominent miRNA that was mentioned across multiple studies [49,65,67] was miR-29c-3p. This miRNA was found to be significantly dysregulated in the plasma, CSF, saliva, and leukocytes of patients with PD. The differential expression of miR-29c-3p was found to distinguish between PD and other disorders, namely multiple system atrophy (MSA) and essential tremor (ET) [49]. Moreover, miR-29c-3p was shown to distinguish between sPD- and LRRK2-caused PD [67]. These results, along with its presence in saliva, make miR-29c-3p a useful and easily accessible, non-invasive biomarker for PD diagnosis. There are multiple known gene targets for miR-29c-3p, which include Mesoderm-specific transcript (MEST) and Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), which are known to be involved with colorectal and gastric cancer [97,98]. MiR-29c-3p was also shown to target the Beta-site Amyloid precursor protein Cleaving Enzyme 1 (BACE1) in mice and is, thus, believed to play a role in AD progression [99].
A study conducted by Ravanidis et al. [20] also found that miRNAs could distinguish between different types of PD, including sPD, GBA-PD, and A53T-PD (SNCA mutation). Furthermore, this research found a pair of miRNAs (miR-136-3p and miR-433-3p) that were dysregulated in all types of PD studied. miR-136-3p seems to be more prominent as it was mentioned in two additional studies reviewed [27,37]. These studies also identified the diagnostic potential of miR-136-3p in regards to patients with PD and healthy controls; however, it was also found to distinguish between PD and AD [27]. This miRNA biomarker was detectable in samples derived from CSF and blood plasma. Known gene targets for miR-136-3p include Kruppel-like factor 7 (KLF7), whose downregulation suppresses glial tumor formation [100], and Phosphatase and TENsin homolog (PTEN), which regulates bone and blood vessel formation [101].

4.2. Potential Treatments and miRNA Therapeutic Targets

The involvement of miRNAs in PD progression and their therapeutic potential was highlighted in some of the studies reviewed. Notably, a pair of studies [24,69] included showed that exercise was an effective treatment for improving cognitive and motor function in patients with PD, with the expression of miRNAs being altered in the process [24,69]. This hints at certain miRNAs being not only biomarkers, but also likely targets for future therapy, although further research is required to determine the efficiency of such treatments.
Treatment with Levodopa was also shown to alter miRNA expression in patients with PD [45,53]. More specifically, the expression of three miRNAs, namely miR-29a-3p, miR-30b-5p, and miR-103a-3p, was found to be significantly increased in patients with PD treated with Levodopa, in comparison to untreated patients and controls [45]. Moreover, higher Levodopa dosage was observed to better medicate the dysregulation of miR-146a-5p and miR-155-5p in the serum of patients with PD [53]. These results suggest the involvement of the two miRNAs in disease progression and indicate their potential as biomarkers or even therapeutic targets. From the literature, we know that miR-146a-5p has anti-inflammatory properties, as it regulates M1 macrophages by targeting CD80 [102]. Meanwhile, miR-155-5p is known to prompt inflammation by upregulating Interleukin-8 (IL-8) [103], which could explain why it is upregulated in PD, unlike miR-146a-5p, which is reduced [53].

4.3. Strengths, Limitations, and Future Work

The main strength of this systematic review is the wide array of different miRNAs researched throughout the studies included. This high number of miRNAs resulted in an abundance of candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of PD. Furthermore, these miRNAs were acquired from a variety of different samples, such as blood, CSF, and saliva, making these biomarkers versatile and, in some cases, non-invasive. Another advantage of this review would be the use of a variety of methods to identify miRNAs and their involvement in PD pathogenesis. The most notable of these included qRT-PCR, miRNA TaqMan assays, miRNA target prediction, and statistical analysis of the results to determine the significance of dysregulated miRNAs.
Some limitations were encountered in the conduction of the review. While most studies included had a large number of patients with PD and controls recruited or even multiple cohorts, some studies were conducted using notably low cohorts, which could make their results less reliable. In addition, in a few studies, some information regarding the subject’s age or gender was either unavailable or unclear. Furthermore, while some miRNAs were able to distinguish PD from healthy controls, it was not always tested whether this was exclusive to PD or a common dysregulated miRNA between multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Another potential limitation from the included studies comes from the fact that many of the results gathered have not been validated with functional evidence or by being replicated in other cohorts, which would have made these findings more reliable. The most notable limitation of the review, however, was the lack of follow-up seen in the majority of the studies included. While there was an abundance of pilot studies that identified potential miRNA biomarkers and therapeutic targets, very few of these had follow-up studies to confirm these results. The exclusion of experimental studies from our review also plays a role in this, as such studies could have provided us with a better overview of the mechanisms and pathways through which certain miRNAs are involved with PD.
Future work should focus on validating the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value of the identified miRNAs that were associated with PD in either larger PD cohorts and in other neurodegenerative disorders to determine the specificity and sensitivity of this miRNA to estimate the potential of miRNAs identified as possible therapeutic targets, research on human cell models can be undertaken, with any promising results potentially moving on to clinical trials. Other studies to explore the involvement of more miRNAs in PD could also be conducted, since there are several more miRNAs that are yet to be researched. Furthermore, in order to gain a more complete image of the role of miRNAs, a follow-up review could be conducted, focusing on the omitted experimental studies to complement the findings of this study.

5. Conclusions

Based on the results gathered from a multitude of studies reviewed, we can conclude that miRNAs are deeply involved in both the progression and mediation of PD. There is an abundance of evidence pointing to miRNA dysregulation being a viable diagnostic biomarker for accurately diagnosing PD, even among other degenerative neuropathies, and for monitoring disease progression. Additionally, a number of miRNAs have the potential to be utilized for the treatment of patients with PD, although further research on this matter is required.
