This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research to develop next-generation RNA inhibitors for stroke therapy. The $520,025 award to the University of Connecticut Health Center aims to synthesize and characterize more potent gamma peptide nucleic acid (GPNA)-based inhibitors targeting the miR-141-3p microRNA, which is significantly upregulated in stroke cases. The research will identify the most effective GPNA-141 inhibitors, study their neuroprotective mechanisms in stroke models, and determine the optimal treatment window and long-term recovery effects in aged mice after stroke. This work builds on the awardee's preliminary data demonstrating the efficacy of advanced GPNA-based miR-141-3p inhibitors in reducing infarct injury and improving functional recovery in ischemic stroke.
