Abstract

Secondary spinal cord injury (SCI), a reversible pathological change, involves neural inflammation and apoptosis. This study explored how microRNA (miR)-488, an inflammatory regulator as reported affected secondary SCI. In vivo, Wistar rats were clipped on the spinal cord for SCI induction. In vitro, PC-12 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce cell injuries to mimic the environment during the secondary SCI. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry. The levels of inflammation-related factors (interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) in the serum and PC-12 cells were determined by ELISA. The expressions of miR-488, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cleaved caspase-3, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), phosphorylated (p)-p65 and total-p65 in rat spinal cord or PC-12 cells were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR or western blot. After SCI induction, rats exhibited low Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scores, promoted the release of inflammation-related factors and downregulated miR-488. LPS treatment decreased cell viability, enhanced apoptosis and downregulated miR-488. Upregulating miR-488 ne...Continue Reading

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
