Approaches to create a miRNA target panel
for regulating MeCP2 expression
High-throughput screening of mouse CNS miRNAs
upregulated after MeCP2 gene therapy overdose
Identify endogenous miRNA targets that are
conserved across species and appear frequently
among the UTRS of dose-sensitive genes regulating
intellectual ability
Use positive results from high-throughput screening
to filter and rank bioinformatics data
Merged screening data and genomic sequence
information
Create a small synthetic (and potentially broadly
applicable) regulatory panel
