This study aimed to explore the effects of miR-128b in the regulation of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced apoptosis.
Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMECs) were transfected with an miR-128b inhibitor and stimulated with LPS for 24 h. FCM was performed to detect apoptosis and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production. In addition, miRNA and caspase-3 expression levels were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting.
LPS significantly induced apoptosis and ROS production and upregulated miR-128b and caspase-3 expressions in HPMECs. However, LPS-induced effects were suppressed when an miR-128b inhibitor was used. Preincubation with NAC decreased the LPS-induced apoptosis of HPMECs.
These effects were mediated by miR-128b via the caspase-3 pathway.
本研究旨在探讨 miR-128b 在调节脂多糖(LPS)诱导的细胞凋亡中的作用。
用 miR-128b 抑制剂转染人肺微血管内皮细胞(HPMEC),并用 LPS 刺激 24 h。FCM 检测细胞凋亡和活性氧(ROS)的产生。此外,采用实时定量聚合酶链反应和 Western blot 检测 miRNA 和 caspase-3 的表达水平。
LPS 显著诱导 HPMEC 细胞凋亡和 ROS 的产生,并上调 miR-128b 和 caspase-3 的表达。然而,当使用 miR-128b 抑制剂时,LPS 诱导的作用被抑制。用 NAC 预处理可减少 LPS 诱导的 HPMEC 细胞凋亡。
这些作用是通过 miR-128b 经 caspase-3 通路介导的。
