Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are preferentially lost in glaucoma or optic neuritis. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of mircoRNA 100 (miR-100) against oxidative stress induced apoptosis in RGC-5 cells.
Rat RGC-5 cells were cultured in plates and H2O2 was added to induce oxidative stress. TUNEL assay and qRT-PCR showed H2O2 induced apoptosis and up-regulated miR-100 in a dose-dependent manner in RGC-5 cells. Conversely, lentiviral-mediated miR-100 down-regulation protected H2O2 induced apoptosis, promoted neurite growth and activated AKT/ERK and TrkB pathways through phosphorylation. Luciferase assay confirmed that IGF1R was directly regulated by miR-100 in RGC-5 cells, and siRNA-mediated IGF1R knockdown activated AKT protein through phosphorylation, down-regulated miR-100, therefore exerted a protective effect on RGC-5 apoptosis.
Down-regulating miR-100 is an effective method to protect H2O2 induced apoptosis in RGC-5 cells, possible associated with IGF1R regulation.
视网膜神经节细胞(RGCs)在青光眼或视神经炎中优先丢失。在本研究中,我们研究了微小RNA 100(miR - 100)对RGC - 5细胞中氧化应激诱导的细胞凋亡的保护作用。
将大鼠RGC - 5细胞培养于培养板中,并加入过氧化氢(H2O2)以诱导氧化应激。TUNEL检测和qRT - PCR显示,H2O2以剂量依赖的方式诱导RGC - 5细胞凋亡并上调miR - 100。相反,慢病毒介导的miR - 100下调可保护细胞免受H2O2诱导的凋亡,促进神经突生长,并通过磷酸化激活AKT/ERK和TrkB信号通路。荧光素酶检测证实,在RGC - 5细胞中IGF1R受miR - 100直接调控,并且siRNA介导的IGF1R敲低通过磷酸化激活AKT蛋白,下调miR - 100,从而对RGC - 5细胞凋亡发挥保护作用。
下调miR - 100是保护RGC - 5细胞免受H2O2诱导凋亡的有效方法,可能与IGF1R调控有关。
