In a good accordance with the results of present study, increased expression of miR-127 and miR-136 after experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induction in EAE-susceptible rat strains compared to EAE-resistant rat strains was reported; increased expression of other miRNAs from DLK1-DIO3 locus such as miR-434, miR-541 and miR-369 was also identified in EAE [44]. Here, DIO3 is linked to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
