Abstract

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe complication during the treatment of patients with stroke. It has been shown that the expression of SNHG15 was increased in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). However, the function and regulatory mechanism of SNHG15 in IS remains unclear. An oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell model was use to establish an in vitro model of I/R injury. RT-qPCR assay was used to detect the level of SNHG15 in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Meanwhile, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was used to establish an in vivo model of cerebral I/R injury. The expression of SNHG15 was upregulated in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Downregulation of SNHG15 during reperfusion reduced cell death in OGD/R-treated SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, SNHG15 knockdown suppressed OGD/R-induced apoptosis in SY-SY5Y cells by attenuating intracellular ROS generation and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) lost. In addition, SNHG15 knockdown promoted cell cycle transition in SY-SY5Y cells after OGD/R insult accompany with PI3K/Akt signaling activation. Meanwhile, mechanism investigations suggested SNHG15 knockdown downregulated the expression of FOXO1 through acting as a competitive 'sponge'...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
