Protective effects of the knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 against oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation-induced injury in PC12 cells.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral ischemic stroke is a major cause of adult morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to participate in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of lncRNA AK139328 in cerebral ischemic stroke remains poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine the expression and function of lncRNA AK139328 in the progression of IRI. PC12 cells were injured by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to establish an in vitro ischemic stroke model. An MTT assay was performed to determine cell viability. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression levels of AK139328 and Netrin-1 in blood samples from patients who had suffered a cerebral ischemic stroke and healthy individuals or OGD/R PC12 cells. ELISAs were used to determine the levels of inflammatory cytokines. In addition, oxidative stress levels and the levels of cell apoptosis were evaluated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) kits, flow cytometry and western blotting. Immunofluorescence staining was used for the detection of cell neurite outgrowth. The results of the present study revealed that AK139328 expression levels were upregulated in patients who had suffered a cerebral ischemic stroke and in PC12 cells following stimulation with OGD/R. The knockdown of AK139328 alleviated OGD/R-induced decreases in cell viability, downregulation in Netrin-1 expression and increases in inflammatory cytokines levels, including TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Moreover, AK139328 silencing suppressed oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in OGD/R-treated PC12 cells. Furthermore, the expression levels of microtubule associated protein 2 and growth associated protein 43 in OGD/R-injured PC12 cells were upregulated following the knockdown of AK139328 expression. In conclusion, these findings suggested that the knockdown of AK139328 expression may protect PC12 cells against OGD/R injury by regulating inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and cell apoptosis. The data suggested a potential therapeutic target for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral ischemic stroke.

Project description:Calculus bovis is commonly used for the treatment of stroke in traditional Chinese medicine. Hyodeoxycholic acid (HDCA) is a bioactive compound extracted from calculus bovis. When combined with cholic acid, baicalin and jas-minoidin, HDCA prevents hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced brain injury by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptotic signaling. However, the effects of HDCA in ischemic stroke injury have not yet been studied. Neurovascular unit (NVU) dysfunction occurs in ischemic stroke. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of HDCA on the NVU under ischemic conditions in vitro. We co-cultured primary brain microvascular endothelial cells, neurons and astrocytes using a transwell chamber co-culture system. The NVU was pre-treated with 10.16 or 2.54 μg/mL HDCA for 24 hours before exposure to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 1 hour. The cell counting kit-8 assay was used to detect cell activity. Flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling were used to assess apoptosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, and neurotrophic factors, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor. Oxidative stress-related factors, such as superoxide dismutase, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde and γ-glutamyltransferase, were measured using kits. Pretreatment with HDCA significantly decreased blood-brain barrier permeability and neuronal apoptosis, significantly increased transendothelial electrical resistance and γ-glutamyltransferase activity, attenuated oxidative stress damage and the release of inflammatory cytokines, and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor expression. Our findings suggest that HDCA maintains NVU morphological integrity and function by modulating inflammation, oxidation stress, apoptosis, and the expression of neurotrophic factors. Therefore, HDCA may have therapeutic potential in the clinical management of ischemic stroke. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Experimental Animals of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (approval No. BUCM-3-2016040201-2003) in April 2016.

Project description:BackgroundDeep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a technique used during the surgical treatment of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta in adult patients, and complex congenital heart disease in neonates. And brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) are essential components of the cerebrovascular network and participate in maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and brain function. In our previous study, we found that oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) activated Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling in BMECs, and induced pyroptosis and inflammation. In this study, we further investigated the potential mechanism of ethyl(6R)-6-[N-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl) sulfamoyl] cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate (TAK-242) on BMECs under OGD/R, as in patients with sepsis, the TAK-242 was tested in clinical trials.MethodsTo confirm the function of TAK-242 on BMECs under OGD/R, cell viability, inflammatory factors, inflammation-associated pyroptosis, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and western blotting, respectively. To investigate the lncRNAs associated with TLR4 during OGD/R, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) expression patterns were profiled with RNA deep sequencing. Moreover, to confirm whether lncRNA-encoded short peptides, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used.ResultsRelative control group, OGD/R inhibited the cell viability, increased the section of inflammatory factors secretion, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and promoted the pathways of TLR4/NLRP3/Caspase-1 and TLR4/NF-κB. However, TAK-242 + OGD/R group promoted OGD/R cell viability, decreased OGD/R-induced inflammatory factors secretion, and inhibited the pathways of TLR4/NLRP3/Caspase-1 and TLR4/NF-κB. In addition, AABR07000411.1, AABR070006957.1, and AABR070008256.1 were decreased in OGD/R cells compared with controls, but TAK-242 restored their expression under OGD/R condition. AABR07000473.1, AC130862.4, and LOC10254972.6 were induced by OGD/R, but were suppressed in TAK-242 + OGD/R cells compared with OGD/R. Moreover, AABR07049961.1, AC127076.2, AABR07066020.1, and AABR07025303.1-encoded short peptides were dysregulated in OGD/R cells, and TAK-242 attenuated the dysregulation of AABR07049961.1, AC127076.2, and AABR07066020.1-encoded short peptides.ConclusionsTAK-242 alters the expression pattern of lncRNAs in OGD/R cells, and differently expressed lncRNAs may exert a protective effect against OGD/R injury through a mechanism of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) and encoding short peptides. These findings maybe provide a new theory basis for the treatment of DHCA.
