[PMID: 38330620 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
KCNQ1OT1 is an lncRNA located within KCNQ1 gene on chromosome 11p15.5. This lncRNAs participates in the pathogenesis of a diversity of cancers as well as non-cancerous conditions. In most types of cancers, KCNQ1OT1 is regarded as an oncogene. In a wide array of cancers, high level of KCNQ1OT1 is associated with lower overall survival time. This lncRNA has been found to adsorb a variety of miRNAs, namely miR-15a, miR-211-5p, hsa-miR-107, miR-145, miR-34a, miR-204-5p, miR-129-5p, miR-372-3p, miR-491-5p, miR-153, miR-185-5p, miR-124-3p, miR-211-5p, miR-149, miR-148a-3p, miR-140-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-9, miR-329-3p, miR-760, miR-296-5p, miR-3666 and miR-129-5p, thus regulating the downstream targets of these miRNAs. In this manuscript, our attention is on this lncRNA and its biomolecular roles in human cancers and other disorders. KCNQ1OT1 plays significant roles in the tumorigenesis and may function as a prospective target for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nerve injury can be caused by a variety of factors. It often takes a long time to repair a nerve injury and severe nerve injury is even difficult to heal. Therefore, increasing attention has focused on nerve injury and repair. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a newly discovered non-coding RNA with a wide range of biological activities. Numerous studies have shown that a variety of lncRNAs undergo changes in expression after nerve injury, indicating that lncRNAs may be involved in various biological processes of nerve repair and regeneration. Herein, we summarize the biological roles of lncRNAs in neurons, glial cells and other cells during nerve injury and regeneration, which will help lncRNAs to be better applied in nerve injury and regeneration in the future.

Exp Neurol 2023; 368:114482. [PMID: 37467842 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
This study is to investigate the function of miR-34a and interactions between miR-34a, SIRT1, and p53 in sevoflurane-induced neuronal apoptosis and autophagy in neonatal mice. A mouse model was established by inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and injected with genetic reagents, followed by tests of learning and memory abilities and histological staining of the hippocampus. CCK-8 and AnnexinV/PI staining respectively measured the survival and apoptosis rates of primary hippocampal neurons cultured with sevoflurane. The expression levels of miR-34a, SIRT1, p53, Ac-p53, and autophagy- or apoptosis-related proteins were measured. Sevoflurane impaired the learning and memory abilities of mice, increased TUNEL-positive cells in their hippocampus, and hindered the survival of hippocampal neurons. Sevoflurane increased miR-34a, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and reduced SIRT1 and p62. MiR-34a overexpression promoted sevoflurane-induced neural damage, whereas SIRT1 inhibition or p53 upregulation counteracted the neuroprotection of miR-34a knockdown. SIRT1 was a target of miR-34a and promoted p53 deacetylation. MiR-34a promotes sevoflurane-stimulated neuronal apoptosis and autophagy in neonatal mice by inhibiting SIRT1 expression and subsequent p53 deacetylation.

Abstract
With the increasing aging population worldwide, the incidence of senile cognitive impairment (CI) is increasing, posing a serious threat to the health of elderly persons. Despite developing new drugs aimed at improving CI, progress in this regard has been insufficient. Natural preparations derived from plants have become an unparalleled resource for developing new drugs. Puerariae radix (PR) has a long history as Chinese herbal medicine. PR is rich in various chemical components such as isoflavones, triterpenes, and saponins. The isoflavones (puerarin, daidzein, formononetin, and genistein) exhibit potential therapeutic effects on CI through multiple mechanisms. Relevant literature was organized from major scientific databases such as PubMed, Elsevier, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Using "Puerariae radix," "Pueraria lobata," "isoflavones," "puerarin," "antioxidant," "daidzein," "formononetin," "genistein," "Alzheimer"s disease," and "vascular cognitive impairment" as keywords, the relevant literature was extracted from the databases mentioned above. We found that isoflavones from PR have neuroprotective effects on multiple models of CI via multiple targets and mechanisms. These isoflavones prevent Aβ aggregation, inhibit tau hyperphosphorylation, increase cholinergic neurotransmitter levels, reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, improve synaptic plasticity, promote nerve regeneration, and prevent apoptosis. PR has been used as traditional Chinese herbal medicine for a long time, and its constituent isoflavones exert significant therapeutic effects on CI through various neuroprotective mechanisms. This review will contribute to the future development of isoflavones present in PR as novel drug candidates for the clinical treatment of CI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor in the digestive tract. Increasing evidence indicated that chemoresistance leads to a poor prognosis of CRC. Herein, we aimed to uncover the potential mechanism by which long intergenic noncoding RNA-1871 (LINC01871) affects the chemoresistance of CRC cells. METHODS Relative level of LINC01871 in CRC tissues was assessed by reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to determine the relevance of LINC01871 and the prognosis of CRC patients. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assay were used to evaluate the proliferation of SW480 cells. Expression levels of proteins and their genes were assessed by western blot, immunofluorescence staining and RT-qPCR. In addition, the interaction of LINC01871, miR-142-3p and protein zyg-11 homolog B (ZYG11B) were analyzed via dual-luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS LINC01871 was low-expressed in CRC tissues and cell lines. Patients with a low level of LINC01871 showed significantly lower survival rate. pcDNA-LINC01871 significantly reduced the viability of SW480 cells ( P < 0.01), elevated SW480 cells sensitivity to 5-FU ( P < 0.01), reduced LC3 punctate aggregates ( P < 0.01) and downregulated the relative mRNA expression level of autophagy related protein 9A, autophagy related protein 4B and high mobility group box 1 ( P < 0.01) in SW480 cells. Moreover, LINC01871 was found to sponge miR-142-3p, and ZYG11B was the target of miR-142-3p. MiR-142-3p mimic significantly recovered the effect of pcDNA-LINC001871, whereas pcDNA-ZYG11B reversed the recovery effect of the miR-142-3p mimic. CONCLUSION LINC01871/miR-142-3p/ ZYG11B axis regulates the chemoresistance of CRCs by inducing autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have already been documented to become the therapeutic targets for neuropathic pain. Here, this work focused on exploring the specific mechanism underlying Kcnq1 overlapping transcript 1 (kcnq1ot1) in neuropathic pain. METHODS Sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) in vivo and LPS-stimulated microglia BV2 cell injury in vitro were adopted to construct neuropathic pain models. Expressions of kcnq1ot1, MyD88, and microglia activation marker Iba-1 were measured. In this study, we carried out fluorescence in-situ Hybridization (FISH) and immunofluorescence for examining Kcnq1ot1 localization within microglial cells in mouse spinal dorsal horn. Subsequently, we evaluated binding between Kcnq1ot1 and Myd88, together with the expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and Myd88 ubiquitination. RESULTS Kcnq1ot1 levels decreased within CCI mice and LPS-induced BV2 cells. According to the results of FISH and immunofluorescence, Kcnq1ot1 is located in microglia. Overexpression of Kcnq1ot1 suppressed Iba-1, IL-1β, IL-6 together with TNF-α expression. RNA pull-down and RIP assay confirmed that Kcnq1ot1 bound to Myd88. In addition, Kcnq1ot1 overexpression promoted the degradation, enhanced the ubiquitination, and reduced protein level of Myd88. Overexpression of Myd88 eliminated the effects of Kcnq1ot1 overexpression on Iba-1level and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Further in vivo results revealed that increased Kcnq1ot1 level alleviated neuropathic pain and myelinated nerve fiber injury of CCI mice. CONCLUSION Kcnq1ot1 downregulated Myd88 protein expression by binding to Myd88 and promoting its ubiquitination, which in turn suppressed microglia activation, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and relieved neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disease with variable clinical manifestations caused by NMDAR autoantibody. The underlying molecular underpinnings of this disease are rarely characterized on a genomic scale. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis mainly affects the hippocampus, however, its effect on gene expression in hippocampal neurons is unclear at present. Here, we construct the active and passive immunization mouse models of anti-NMDAR encephalitis, and use single-nucleus RNA sequencing to investigate the diverse expression profile of neuronal populations isolated from different hippocampal regions. Dramatic changes in cell proportions and differentially expressed genes were observed in excitatory neurons of the dentate gyrus (DG) subregion. In addition, we found that ATP metabolism and biosynthetic regulators related genes in excitatory neurons of DG subregion were significantly affected. Kcnq1ot1 in inhibitory neurons and Meg3 in interneurons also changed. Notably, the latter two molecules exhibited opposite changes in different models. Therefore, the above genes were used as potential targets for further research on the pathological process of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. These data involve various hippocampal neurons, which delineate a framework for understanding the hippocampal neuronal circuit and the potential molecular mechanisms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

LncRNA OIP5-AS1 Mitigates Bupivacaine-Induced Neurotoxicity in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Through Regulating NFAT5 Expression via Sponging miR-34b. Neurotox Res 2022; 40:2253-2263. [PMID: 36074257 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-022-00567-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Bupivacaine (BUP), which is widely used in anesthesia, can cause neurotoxicity and neurological abnormalities. This work intended to study the function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) OIP5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1) in BUP-triggered neurotoxicity. OIP5-AS1, microRNA (miR)-34b, and nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5) levels were examined via real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Cell proliferation, caspase-3 activity, and apoptosis were assessed via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), caspase-3 activity, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays. The regulatory relationships between miR-34b and OIP5-AS1 or NFAT5 were validated via RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Our data demonstrated that OIP5-AS1 and NFAT5 levels were downregulated and miR-34b was upregulated upon exposure to BUP. Functional assays implied that the OIP5-AS1 deficiency impeded cell proliferation and enhanced the apoptosis of DRG neurons, while OIP5-AS1 addition reversed these changes. Moreover, OIP5-AS1 could bind to miR-34b and OIP5-AS1 regulated BUP-induced neurotoxicity via miR-34b. Besides, miR-34b could directly interact with NFAT5. Augmentation of miR-34b impeded cell proliferation and expedited the apoptosis and caspase-3 activity, while NFAT5 addition neutralized these impacts. Finally, it was verified that OIP5-AS1 could upregulate NFAT5 through sponging miR-34b. In sum, our results disclosed that OIP5-AS1 ameliorated BUP-caused neurotoxicity via regulating the miR-34b/NFAT5 axis, suggesting that OIP5-AS1 might be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of BUP-induced neurotoxicity.

LncRNA TUG1 Promoted Stabilization of BAG5 by Binding DDX3X to Exacerbate Ketamine-Induced Neurotoxicity. Neurotox Res 2022; 40:1989-2000.

Abstract
As a clinically widely used anesthetic, ketamine (KET) has been reported to cause neurotoxicity in patients. Our work aimed to probe the function of long-chain non-coding RNA taurine-upregulated gene 1 (lncRNA TUG1) in KET-induced neurotoxicity. HT22 cells were subjected to KET to build the cell model. 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazolyl2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was employed to determine cell viability. Additionally, cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. The binding relationships among TUG1, DEAD-box RNA helicase 3X (DDX3X), and Bcl-2-associated athanogene 5 (BAG5) were verified by RIP and RNA pull-down assays. Cell viability was impaired and cell apoptosis was increased in KET-treated HT22 cells accompanied by increased TUG1, DDX3X, and BAG5 expressions. TUG1 knockdown dramatically enhanced cell viability and repressed the of KET-induced apoptosis in HT22 cells, while TUG1 overexpression presented the opposite effects. In addition, we found that TUG1 promoted DDX3X expression via directly binding with DDX3X. As expected, DDX3X overexpression abolished the palliative effect of TUG1 knockdown on KET-induced neurotoxicity. Further research proved that TUG1 increased the stability of BAG5 through interacting with DDX3X. Finally, as expected, the moderating effect of TUG1 knockdown on KET-induced neuron injury was abolished by BAG5 overexpression. Taken together, TUG1 promoted BAG5 expression by binding DDX3X to exacerbate KET-induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Background Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-regulated mechanism in acute lung injury (ALI) has attracted special interests in study researches. We planned to disclose whether KCNQ1 overlapping transcript 1 (Kcnq1ot1) is involved in ALI and its mechanism. Methods The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model was established in mice. Kcnq1ot1, microRNA (miR)-7a-5p and Reticulon 3 (Rtn3) levels were measured in lung tissues of mice. The vector that changed Kcnq1ot1, miR-7a-5p and Rtn3 expression was injected into LPS-treated mice, and pathological damage, fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammatory response were subsequently examined in lung tissues. The relation between Kcnq1ot1 and miR-7a-5p, and that between miR-7a-5p and Rtn3 were identified. Results Kcnq1ot1 and Rtn3 expression increased while miR-7a-5p expression decreased in LPS-treated mice. Reduced Kcnq1ot1 or elevated miR-7a-5p alleviated pathological damage, fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammatory response in ALI mice, while overexpressed Rtn3 worsened ALI in mice. Downregulation of Rtn3 reversed the exacerbation of miR-7a-5p downregulation in ALI mice. Kcnq1ot1 competitively bound to miR-7a-5p and miR-7a-5p negatively mediated Rtn3 expression. Conclusion Our experiments evidence that silencing Kcnq1ot1 upregulates miR-7a-5p to suppress Rtn3 expression, thereby diminishing LPS-induced ALI.

Abstract
Accumulating studies suggest that hippocampal neurogenesis plays a crucial role in the pathological mechanism of depression. As a classic antidepressant, lithium chloride can play an antidepressant role by inhibiting GSK3β and promoting neurogenesis. Correspondingly, baicalin is a compound extracted from natural plants, which shows potential antidepressant effect, however, whether baicalin exerts antidepressant effects by promoting neurogenesis still needs further investigation. In the current study, we established an in vitro depression model through corticosterone induced PC-12 cells, and explored the potential mechanism of baicalin's antidepressant effect by comparing it with lithium chloride alone and the coadministration with lithium chloride. We used CCK-8 assay, EdU staining and cell cycle analysis to evaluate the state of cell survival and cell proliferation. The protein expression levels of neurodevelopmental related factors DCX, BDNF, and the GSK3β pathway-related proteins and mRNA were detected by Western blot and Real-time PCR. The results showed that baicalin could decrease the expression level of GSK3β, while upregulate the expression level of DCX, BDNF, Cyclin D1-CDK4/6, thus promoted cell proliferation and survival in CORT induced PC-12 cells. Moreover, this effect was enhanced when baicalin and lithium chloride were coadministration. Taking the above results together, we conclude that baicalin can promote the proliferation and development of PC-12 cells by regulating GSK3β pathway, so as to reverse the depressive-like pathological changes induced by corticosterone.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) in cognitive dysfunction induced by isoflurane (ISO). Morrier water maze analysis was performed to evaluate the cognitive function of rats. Modified modified neurological severity score (mNSS) scores were assessed for neurological damage. The levels of MEG3 in hippocampal tissues of rats and hippocampal neuron cell lines HT22 were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Moreover, the cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assay. Indicators of inflammation and oxidative stress were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and commercial assay kits. Relationship between MEG3 and microRNA (miR)-7-5p was verified by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. MEG3 was increased in hippocampal tissues and HT22 after ISO treatment (P < 0.05). MEG3 downregulation alleviated the increase in neurological severity score and cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO treatment (P < 0.05). In vitro, MEG3 downregulation alleviates the decrease in cell activity and increased apoptosis induced by ISO. What's more, MEG3 reduction eliminated activation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress promoted by ISO treatment in rats and HT22 (P < 0.05). MEG3 was confirmed to specifically bind to miR-7-5p. Inhibition of miR-7-5p eliminated the alleviating effects of MEG3 downregulation on cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO treatment. Decreased MEG3 alleviates cognitive dysfunction caused by ISO by targeting miR-7-5p and play a neuroprotective effect. We present a strategy for MEG3 as a potential target for brain protection during anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Isoflurane (ISO) may cause neuronal apoptosis and synaptic disorder during development, and damage long-term learning and memory function. This observation aimed to study the function of H19 in vitro and in vivo tests and the further mechanism was identified. METHODS ISO cell models and rat models were established and reactive oxygen species (ROS) identified. The viability and apoptosis of HT22 cells were detected by the MTT and flow cytometer. Morris water maze test was conducted to analyze the neurotoxicity of ISO on spatial learning and memory ability. Quantitative PCR was the method to verify the expression of H19. The concentration of inflammatory indicators was identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS 1.5% and 2% ISO led to the neurotoxicity of HT22 cells and increased expression of H19. Silenced H19 meliorated these adverse impacts of ISO. Interference of H19 exerted neuroprotective roles by repressing modified neurological severity score, inhibiting escape latency, elevating distance and time of target area, and controlling ROS and inflammation. MiR-17-5p might be a promising competing endogenous RNA of H19. The expression of miR-17-5p was reduced in the ISO group and reversed by the absence of H19. CONCLUSION Our results of in vitro and in vivo assay indicated that the absence of HT22 is a neuroprotective regulator of cognition and inflammation by accumulating miR-17-5p.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) has been reported to participate in the regulation of various nervous system disorders. Bupivacaine (BV), a commonly used local anesthetic, could generate neurotoxicity in neurons. This work intended to investigate the role and specific mechanism of SNHG12 in BV-induced neurotoxicity. In this study, we established an in vitro cell model of BV-induced neurotoxicity by exposing human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) to BV. It was found that SNHG12 and NLRX1 levels were gradually downregulated, while miR-497-5p enrichment was upregulated accordingly with the increase of BV concentration. As indicated by functional assays, SNHG12 overexpression promoted cell viability but inhibited cell apoptosis and oxidative stress in BV-treated SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, it was identified that SNHG12 directly targeted miR-497-5p and attenuated BV-induced neurotoxicity via interaction with miR-497-5p. Besides, it was confirmed that SNHG12 could upregulate NLRX1 expression by absorbing miR-497-5p. Moreover, miR-497-5p decreased cell viability and induced cell apoptosis and oxidative stress, which was partly reversed by NLRX1 upregulation. In conclusion, our findings indicated that SNHG12 might relieve BV-associated neurotoxicity by upregulating NLRX1 via miR-497-5p in vitro, providing novel clues and biomarkers for the treatment and prevention of BV-associated neurotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ketamine is an anesthetic that induces neurotoxicity when administered at high doses. In this work, we explored the protective effects of lipoxin A4 methyl ester (LXA4 ME) against ketamine-induced neurotoxicity and the underlying protective mechanism in pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. METHODS PC12 cells were treated with 50 μM of ketamine and different LXA4 ME concentrations of LXA4 ME (5-50 nM) for 24 h, and their viability, apoptosis, and oxidative status were assessed. RESULTS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that ketamine downregulated miR-22 expression and upregulated Bcl-2-associated athanogene 5 (BAG5) in PC12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. LXA4 ME induced the opposite effects, thus attenuating ketamine-induced neurotoxicity. Further in vitro assays showed that miR-22 directly targeted BAG5, thus promoting cell viability by suppressing cell apoptosis and oxidative stress. Under expression miR-22 or upregulation of BAG5 antagonized the effects of LXA4 ME. CONCLUSION LXA4 ME can protect PC12 cells from ketamine-induced neurotoxicity by activating the miR-22/BAG5 signaling pathway. Thus, LXA4 ME can be used as a protective drug against ketamine-induced neural damage.
