Transgenic deletion of Bdnf in DRG neurons leads to dysregulation of miR-1.
This points to a feedback loop between BDNF protein and its targeting miR-1.
miR-1 regulated proteins like Hsp60 are affected by this transient dysregulation.
Moreover, expression levels of various other miRNAs may remain permanently altered.
This might influence the phenotype after inducible Bdnf gene deletion.
