Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening condition causing brain damage, hippocampal necrosis and apoptosis. This study aimed to determine whether microRNA-210 regulates seizure and apoptosis by targeting the TLR4 /NF-κB1 associated signaling pathway.
In a pilocarpine-induced epileptic rat model, the expressions of microRNA-210 (miR-210), TLR4, NF-κB1 and caspase-3 were assessed by a quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Tunel detects hippocampal neuron apoptosis.
We found that miR-210, TLR4, NF-κB1 and caspase-3 were upregulated in the hippocampus of the rat model compared with that of control. The knockdown of miR-210 significantly restored the expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB1 and caspase-3 and increased hippocampal apoptosis.
These findings showed that the downregulation of miR-210 promoted apoptosis of hippocampal neurons by negatively regulating the TLR4/NF-кB1 signaling pathway.
癫痫持续状态(SE)是一种危及生命的疾病,可导致脑损伤、海马坏死和细胞凋亡。本研究旨在确定微小RNA-210是否通过靶向TLR4/NF-κB1相关信号通路来调节癫痫发作和细胞凋亡。
在毛果芸香碱诱导的癫痫大鼠模型中,通过定量聚合酶链反应和蛋白质免疫印迹法评估微小RNA-210(miR-210)、TLR4、NF-κB1和半胱天冬酶-3的表达。Tunel检测海马神经元凋亡。
我们发现,与对照组相比,大鼠模型海马中miR-210、TLR4、NF-κB1和半胱天冬酶-3上调。miR-210的敲低显著恢复了TLR4、NF-κB1和半胱天冬酶-3的表达水平,并增加了海马细胞凋亡。
这些发现表明,miR-210的下调通过负调节TLR4/NF-κB1信号通路促进海马神经元凋亡。
