Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurological disorder characterized by dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration and death in the midbrain, and the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR has been shown to affect disease progression in PD. In this study, we aimed to further illustrate the molecular mechanism of HOTAIR in PD. Bioinformatics analysis was utilized to determine the potential downstream targets of HOTAIR in PD. Luciferase assay and the RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were used to validate the existence of binding sites between competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting indicated that HOTAIR and RAB3IP increased while miR-126-5p decreased in PD cells and PD mice. Additionally, the CCK-8 assay and flow cytometric analysis indicated that the knockdown of HOTAIR and RAB3IP and the overexpression of miR-126-5p significantly increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis in PD cells. Furthermore, the results of in vivo experiments suggested that knockdown of HOTAIR expression increased the number of TH-positive cells and the number of alpha-synuclein-positive cells decreased while reducing the apoptosis rate among DA neurons. Our study confirmed that HOTAIR promotes PD progression by regulating miR-126-5p and RAB3IP in a ceRNA-dependent manner and further clarified how HOTAIR works in PD.
