MiR-339 Promotes Hypoxia-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis and Impairs Cell Viability by Targeting FGF9/CACNG2 and Mediating MAPK Pathway in Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a common cerebrovascular disease characterized by insufficient blood blow to the brain and the second leading cause of death as well as disability worldwide. Recent literatures have indicated that abnormal expression of miR-339 is closely related to IS. In this study, we attempted to assess the biological function of miR-339 and its underlying mechanism in IS. By accessing the GEO repository, the expression of miR-339, FGF9, and CACNG2 in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and non-MCAO was evaluated. PC12 cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment were prepared to mimic in vitro the IS model. The levels of miR-339, FGF9, CACNG2, and MAPK-related markers were quantitatively measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot. CCK-8 and flow cytometry analyses were performed to examine cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. IS-related potential pathways were identified using KEGG enrichment analysis and GO annotations. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to predict and verify the possible target of miR-339. Our results showed that miR-339 expression was significantly increased in MCAO and OGD/R-treated PC12 cells. Overexpression of miR-339 inhibited cell viability of PC12 cells subjected to OGD/R treatment. FGF9 and CACMG2 are direct targets of miR-339 and can reverse the aggressive effect of miR-339 on the proliferation and apoptosis of OGD/R-treated PC12 cells. Moreover, miR-339 mediated the activation of the MAPK pathway, which was inhibited by the FGF9/CACNG2 axis in PC12 cells treated by OGD/R stimulation. In summary, these findings suggested that miR-339 might act as a disruptive molecule to accelerate the IS progression via targeting the FGF9/CACNG2 axis and mediating the MAPK pathway.

Project description:Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) results in losses of serotonergic neurons in specific dorsal raphé nuclei. However, not all serotonergic raphé neurons are lost and it is therefore important to assess the function of remaining neurons in order to understand their potential to contribute to neurological disorders in the HI-affected neonate. The main objective of this study was to determine how serotonergic neurons, remaining in the dorsal raphé nuclei after neonatal HI, respond to an external stimulus (restraint stress). On postnatal day 3 (P3), male rat pups were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: (i) control + no restraint (n = 5), (ii) control + restraint (n = 6), (iii) P3 HI + no restraint (n = 5) or (iv) P3 HI + restraint (n = 7). In the two HI groups, rat pups underwent surgery to ligate the common carotid artery and were then exposed to 6% O2 for 30 minutes. Six weeks after P3 HI, on P45, rats were subjected to restraint stress for 30 minutes. Using dual immunolabeling for Fos protein, a marker for neuronal activity, and serotonin (5-hydroxytrypamine; 5-HT), numbers of Fos-positive 5-HT neurons were determined in five dorsal raphé nuclei. We found that restraint stress alone increased numbers of Fos-positive 5-HT neurons in all five dorsal raphé nuclei compared to control animals. However, following P3 HI, the number of stress-induced Fos-positive 5-HT neurons was decreased significantly in the dorsal raphé ventrolateral, interfascicular and ventral nuclei compared with control animals exposed to restraint stress. In contrast, numbers of stress-induced Fos-positive 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphé dorsal and caudal nuclei were not affected by P3 HI. These data indicate that not only are dorsal raphé serotonergic neurons lost after neonatal HI, but also remaining dorsal raphé serotonergic neurons have reduced differential functional viability in response to an external stimulus. Procedures were approved by the University of Queensland Animal Ethics Committee (UQCCR958/08/NHMRC) on February 27, 2009.
