MicroRNA-670 aggravates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via the Yap pathway.

ABSTRACT: Apoptosis is an important programmed cell death process involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. MicroRNAs are considered to play an important role in the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. However, whether miR-670 can regulate cell growth and death in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and the underlying mechanism are poorly understood. In this study, we established mouse models of transient middle artery occlusion and Neuro 2a cell models of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation to investigate the potential molecular mechanism by which miR-670 exhibits its effects during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury both in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that after ischemia/reperfusion injury, miR-670 expression was obviously increased. After miR-670 expression was inhibited with an miR-670 antagomir, cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury-induced neuronal death was obviously reduced. When miR-670 overexpression was induced by an miR-670 agomir, neuronal apoptosis was increased. In addition, we also found that miR-670 could promote Yap degradation via phosphorylation and worsen neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits. Inhibition of miR-670 reduced neurological impairments after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. These results suggest that microRNA-670 aggravates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through the Yap pathway, which may be a potential target for treatment of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The present study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of China Medical University on February 27, 2017 (IRB No. 2017PS035K).

Project description:Acacetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone), a potential neuroprotective agent, has an inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammatory reactions. However, whether acacetin has an effect on inflammatory corpuscle 3 (NLRP3) after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury has not been fully determined. This study used an improved suture method to establish a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model in C57BL/6 mice. After ischemia with middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 hour, reperfusion with intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg of acacetin (acacetin group) or an equal volume of saline (0.1 mL/10 g, middle cerebral artery occlusion group) was used to investigate the effect of acacetin on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Infarct volume and neurological function scores were determined by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and the Zea-Longa scoring method. Compared with the middle cerebral artery occlusion group, neurological function scores and cerebral infarction volumes were significantly reduced in the acacetin group. To understand the effect of acacetin on microglia-mediated inflammatory response after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, immunohistochemistry for the microglia marker calcium adapter protein ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) was examined in the hippocampus of ischemic brain tissue. In addition, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6 expression in ischemic brain tissue of mice was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of Iba1, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 was significantly lower in the acacetin group compared with the middle cerebral artery occlusion group. Western blot assay results showed that expression of Toll-like receptor 4, nuclear factor kappa B, NLRP3, procaspase-1, caspase-1, pro-interleukin-1β, and interleukin-1β were significantly lower in the acacetin group compared with the middle cerebral artery occlusion group. Our findings indicate that acacetin has a protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of microglia-mediated inflammation and the NLRP3 signaling pathway.
