LncRNA-PEAK1 promotes neuronal apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage by miR-466i-5p/caspase 8 axis

Background: At present, the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury (ISB) is limited, and the curative effect is not good. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play a role in ISB after ICH. We preliminarily monitored the induction effect of lncRNA-ps...

description Background: At present, the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury (ISB) is limited, and the curative effect is not good. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play a role in ISB after ICH. We preliminarily monitored the induction effect of lncRNA-pseudopodium-enriched atypical kinase 1 (PEAK1) on neuronal cell apoptosis after ICH through our previous study and further experimental verification. However, the specific role and mechanism of lncRNA-PEAK1 in neuronal cell apoptosis after ICH have not been reported. Methods: ICH cell models were established with hemin. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell proliferation, and apoptosis were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling, respectively. Moreover, lncRNA expression associated with apoptosis was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The biological functions of lncRNA-PEAK1, miR-466i-5p, and caspase8 were conducted in vitro. Further, we used bioinformatics, a dual-luciferase reporter assay, and rescue experiments to understand the mechanisms of competitive endogenous RNAs. Results: qRT-PCR revealed that lncRNA-PEAK1 was markedly upregulated in ICH cell models. LncRNA-PEAK1 knockdown decreased the interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels, promoted cell proliferation, weakened cell apoptosis, and downregulated the key molecular protein levels involved in the cell apoptosis pathway. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that lncRNA bound to miR-466i-5p, and caspase 8 was a target of miR-466i-5p. The mechanistic analysis demonstrated that lncRNA-PEAK1/miR-466i-5p promoted neuronal cell apoptosis by activating the apoptosis pathway through caspase8 after ICH. Conclusion: Collectively, our investigation identified that the lncRNA-PEAK1/miR-446i-5p/caspase8 axis is closely related to neuronal cell apoptosis after ICH. Additionally, lncRNA-PEAK1 may be a potential target for ICH intervention.
