SummaryAdult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) plays a crucial role in memory processes and is impeded in the brains of Alzheimers disease (AD) patients. However, the molecular mechanisms impacting AHN in AD brain are unknown. Here we identify miR-132, one of the most consistently downregulated microRNAs in AD, as a novel mediator of the AHN deficits in AD. The effects of miR-132 are cell-autonomous and its overexpression is proneurogenic in the adult neurogenic niche in vivo and in human neural stem cells in vitro. miR-132 knockdown in wild-type mice mimics neurogenic deficits in AD mouse brain. Restoring miR-132 levels in mouse models of AD significantly restores AHN and relevant memory deficits. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the hitherto elusive functional significance of AHN in AD and designate miR-132 replacement as a novel therapeutic strategy to rejuvenate the AD brain and thereby alleviate aspects of memory decline.
