Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating diseases that challenges neurology and medicine, leading to paraplegia or quadriplegia worldwide. Neuroprotection conferred by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors against various insults and deficits in the central nervous system has been reported previously. Herein, we set out to ascertain whether HDAC3 inhibition exerts neuroprotective effects against SCI. A modified Allen's weight-drop method was performed to induce experimental SCI in rats. Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores were used to assess locomotor function. Flow cytometric analysis of AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining, TUNEL staining, and immunoblotting analysis of apoptosis-related proteins were performed to determine apoptosis in H2O2-induced cell injury of primary rat neurons. Upregulated HDAC3 and downregulated miR-27a were observed in spinal cord tissues of SCI rats and H2O2-injured neurons. HDAC3 knockdown by its specific shRNA restored the locomotor function of SCI rats and prevented rat neurons from H2O2-induced apoptosis through promotion of miR-27a. miR-27a targeted PAK6 (encoding P21-activated kinase 6) and inhibited its expression. The effects of HDAC3 knockdown on the locomotor function of SCI ra...Continue Reading

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
