  • Title: LncRNA H19 promotes inflammatory response induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through regulating the miR-138-5p-p65 axis.

    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNA(LncRNA) H19 is up-regulated in the brain of rats suffering from cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, inducing severe disability and mortality. Little was known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of H19 in cerebral I/R injury. In this study, a rat model of I/R was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). PC-12 cells exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) were used as an in vitro model. Our results show that H19 is up-regulated in both in vivo and in our in vitro model. Further study indicated that knockdown of H19 promotes cell proliferation, decreases the rate of cell apoptosis, and ameliorates inflammation after OGD/R simulation. Our in vivo study shows that H19 knockdown ameliorates inflammation and improves neurological function in our rat model of tMCAO. Remarkably, the results from our luciferase reporter assays suggest that H19 negatively regulates the expression of miR-138-5p, and p65 was identified as a target of miR-138-5p. To sum up, this study demonstrated that H19 promotes an inflammatory response and improves neurological function in a rat model of tMCAO by regulating the expression of miR-138-5p and p65. This study reveals the important role and underlying mechanism of H19 in the progress of cerebral I/R injury, which could serve as a potential target for further treatment.
