Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-27a-3p on nerve cell apoptosis induced by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)through regulation of Rho family GTPase 3(Rnd3)expression.Methods PC12 neurons were cultured in vitro and reoxygenated for 3,6,9 h and 12 h after 2 h oxygen glucose deprivation.Cell viability,miR-27a-3p expression and Rnd3 mRNA expression were assessed at each time point and the optimal reoxygenation time point was screened.After transfection of miR-27a-3p Mimic,miR-27a-3p Inhibitor and their negative control,transfection of shRnd3 and its negative control,or co-transfection of shRnd3 and miR-27a-3p Inhibitor through lentivirus,CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell activity.The apoptosis rate of the cells was detected using flow cytometry.Expression of miR-27a-3p and Rnd3 mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR.Expression of apoptosis-related protein and Rnd3 protein was detected by Western blot.The dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed the targeting relationship between miR-27a-3p and Rnd3.Results Upregulation of miR-27a-3p increased cell viability,decreased total cell apoptosis rate,suppressed pro-apoptotic proteins Cleaved Caspase-3(C-caspase-3)and Bax,and promoted expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2(P<0.05);The opposite result was found when down-regulating miR-27a-3p.The double luciferase reporter gene assay showed that Rnd3 was the target gene of miR-27a-3p.Down-regulation of Rnd3 increased cell viability,decreased the total rate of apoptosis,suppressed the pro-apoptotic protein C-caspase-3,Bax,and promoted expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2(P<0.05).However,miR-27a-3p Inhibitor reversed the protective effect of shRnd3.Conclusion miR-27a-3p alleviates OGD/R-induced damage to PC12 neurons by targeting Rnd3 to inhibit cell apoptosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of exogenous biliverdin (BV) on the expression of Litaf in PC12 cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R).Methods:PC12 cells were seeded in a 96-well cell culture plate at a density of 1×10 4 cells/well for 3 days and were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) by a random number table method: control group (group C), OGD/R group, and biliverdin group (BV group). Group C was incubated in a 37 ℃ incubator (95% air+ 5%CO 2) for 6 h. To establish the OGD/R model, cells were incubated with sugar-free medium in a 37 ℃ incubator (95% air+ 5%CO 2) for 2 h, and the medium was then replaced with normal medium and cells were continuously incubated in a 37 ℃ incubator (95% N 2+ 5% CO 2). In BV group, 2 μg/ml biliverdin was added immediately after oxygen-glucose restoration.Cells in 6 wells in each group were selected at 6 h of restoration for determination of the expression of Litaf protein and mRNA (by real-time polymerase chain reaction) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentration (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Compared with group C, the expression of Litaf protein and mRNA was significantly up-regulated, and TNF-α concentration in supernatant was increased in group OGD/R ( P<0.05). Compared with group OGD/R, the expression of Litaf protein and mRNA was significantly down-regulated, and TNF-α concentration in supernatant was decreased in group BV ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which exogenous biliverdin reduces OGD/R damage to PC12 cells is related to inhibiting up-regulated expression of Litaf and alleviating the inflammatory responses.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of propofol anesthesia on autophagy in hippocampal neurons of newborn rats.Methods:Thirty-nine healthy Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 7 days, weighing 10-12 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=13 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), fat emulsion group (group F) and propofol group (group P). Normal saline 8 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 5 consecutive days in group C. Medium-/long-chain fatty emulsion injection 8 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 5 consecutive days in group F. Medium-/long-chain propofol injection 80 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 5 consecutive days in group P. Five rats were sacrificed on 1st day after the end of propofol anesthesia, and hippocampal tissues were taken for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) and Beclin-1 (by Western blot). The remaining rats in each group underwent the Morris water maze test on 19th day after the end of propofol anesthesia (30 days after birth), and the escape latency, percentage of time of staying at the target quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, no significant change was found in the expression of hippocampal LC3B and Beclin-1, escape latency, percentage of time of staying at the target quadrant, and the number of crossing the original platform in group F ( P>0.05), and the expression of hippocampal LC3B and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated, the escape latency was prolonged, percentage of time of staying at the target quadrant was decreased, and the number of crossing the original platform was decreased in group P ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:The mechanism by which propofol anesthesia causes long-term cognitive dysfunction may be related to promoting autophagy in hippocampal neurons of newborn rats.
