Effects of MicroRNA-592-5p on Hippocampal Neuron Injury Following Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage in Neonatal Mice - Involvement of PGD2/DP and PTGDR
Background/Aims: This study aimed to explore the effect of microRNA-592-5p (miR-592-5p) on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD)-induced hippocampal neuronal injury in a neonatal mouse model relative to the involvement of one target gene, PTGDR, and the PGD2/ DP signaling pathway. Methods: A total of...

| description | Background/Aims: This study aimed to explore the effect of microRNA-592-5p (miR-592-5p) on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD)-induced hippocampal neuronal injury in a neonatal mouse model relative to the involvement of one target gene, PTGDR, and the PGD2/ DP signaling pathway. Methods: A total of 30 neonatal mice aged 7 days were randomly selected to establish an HIBD mouse model. Hippocampal neuronal cells were transfected into a control group, a blank group, a negative control (NC) group, an miR-592-5p mimics group, an miR-592-5p inhibitors group, an siRNA-PTGDR group and an miR-592-5p inhibitors + siRNA-PTGDR group. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analyses were performed to detect the expression levels of miR-592-5p, PTGDR, DP2, Bcl-2 and Bax in tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Results: The expression levels of miR-592-5p and Bcl-2 decreased, while the expression levels of PTGDR, DP2 and Bax increased in the HIBD group. PTGDR is a target gene of miR-592-2p. Compared with the NC and blank groups, the expression levels of PTGDR, DP2 and Bax decreased, while the expression levels of miR-592-5p and Bcl-2 increased in the miR-592-5p mimics group. The siRNA-PTGDR group showed the same trend as that observed in the miR-592-5p mimics group, except with no difference in miR-592-5p expression. The miR-592-5p inhibitors group showed an opposite gene expression trend compared to that in the miR-592-5p mimics group. The S phase of the cell cycle was prolonged, the G1 phase was reduced, proliferation was increased, and the apoptosis rate was decreased in the siRNA-PTGDR and miR-592-5p mimics groups. Opposite trends for cell cycle, proliferation and apoptosis were observed in the miR-592-5p inhibitors group. Conclusions: Our study suggests that miR-592-5p upregulation protects against hippocampal neuronal injury caused by HIBD by targeting PTGDR and inhibiting the PGD2/DP signaling pathway. |
