Abstract

Ischemic stroke, a major cause of death, is caused by occlusion of a blood vessel, resulting in significant reduction in regional cerebral blood flow. MiRNAs are a family of short noncoding RNAs (18-22 nts) and bind the 3'-UTR of their target genes to suppress the gene expression post-transcriptionally. In the present study, we report that miR-143 is down-regulated in rat neurones but highly expressed in astrocytes. In vivo middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and ex vivo oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) results showed that miR-143 was significantly induced by ischemia injury. Meanwhile, we observed suppression of glucose uptake and lactate product of rat brain and primary neurones after MCAO or OGD. The glycolysis enzymes hexokinase 2 (HK2), PKM2, and LDHA were inhibited by MCAO or OGD at protein and mRNA levels. In addition, overexpression of miR-143 significantly inhibited HK2 expression, glucose uptake, and lactate product. We report that HK2 is a direct target of miR-143. Importantly, restoration of HK2 in miR-143 overexpressing rat neurones recovered glucose uptake and lactate product. Our results demonstrated inhibition of miR-143 during OGD could protect rat neuronal cells from ischemic brain injury (IBI). In summary...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
