Up-regulating lncRNA OIP5-AS1 protects neuron injury against MCAO/R induced inflammation and oxidative stress in microglia/macrophage through activating CTRP3 via sponging miR-186-5p.
Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress is closely associated with the development of ischemic brain stroke. Opa-interacting protein 5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1), a novel identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), has been suggested to play an important role in the development of many types of human cancers. However, the functional involvement of OIP5-AS1 in ischemic stroke is still unknown. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and /or western blot were conducted to determine the expression profiles of OIP5-AS1, C1q/TNF-related protein 3 (CTRP3) and miR-186-5p in the serum of stroke patients, as well as in the ischemic penumbra of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/ R) injury and microglial cells treated with oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R). Upon selective regulation of OIP5-AS1 and miR-186-5p, the inflammation and oxidative stress responses in microglia/macrophage as well as neurologic functions in MCAO/R rats were detected. Furthermore, the interactions between OIP5-AS1 and miR-186-5p, miR-186-5p and CTRP3 were investigated by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, luciferase report assay and bioinformation anaylsis. Results: We observed markedly increased infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress responses in the infarcted lesions of MCAO/R rats, in line with down-regulated levels of OIP5-AS1 and CTRP3 while up-regulated miR-186-5p. Functional studies demonstrated that up-regulation of OIP5-AS1 attenuated infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, microglia/macrophage inflammation and oxidative stress responses induced by MCAO/R or OGD/R. In terms of mechanism, we revealed that OIP5-AS1-miR-186-5p-CTRP3 axis played a vital role in modulating microglia/macrophage activation and neuronal apoptosis. Conclusion: Up-regulating lncRNA OIP5-AS1 protects neuron injury against MCAO/R induced inflammation and oxidative stress in microglia/macrophage through activating CTRP3 via sponging miR-186-5p.
