Upregulation of miR-219a-5p Decreases Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury In Vitro by Targeting Pde4d

      Abstract

      Background: Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of disability and death globally. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in the development and pathogenesis of the nervous system. However, the exact function and mechanism of miRNAs have not been fully elucidated about brain damage caused by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Methods: In this study, we explored the neuroprotective effects of miR-219a-5p on brain using an in vitro ischemia model (mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells treated with oxyglucose deprivation and reperfusion), and in vivo cerebral I/R model in mice. Western blot assay and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction were used to check the expression of molecules involved. Flow cytometry and cholecystokinin were used to examine cell apoptosis, respectively. Results: Our research shows that miR-219a-5p gradually decreases in cerebral I/R models in vivo and in vitro. In vitro I/R, we find that miR-219a-5p mimics provided evidently protection for cerebral I/R damage, as shown by increased cell viability and decreased the release of LDH and cell apoptosis. Mechanically, our findings indicate that miR-219a-5p binds to cAMP specific 3′, 5′-cyclic phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) mRNA in the 3’-UTR region, which subsequently leads to a decrease in Pde4d expression in I/R N2a cells. Conclusions: Our results provide new ideas for the study of the mechanism of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, and lay the foundation for further research on the treatment of brain I/R injury. Upregulation of miR-219a-5p decreases cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by targeting Pde4d in vitro.
