Background: Cerebral ischemia is a major player of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and mainly caused by blood vessels obstruc- tion-induced reduced blood flow. Furthermore, miR-218-5p level was elevated in patients with AIS compared with controls. The present study investigated the biochemical mechanisms underlying the role of miR-218-5p in AIS in vitro. Material/Methods: PC12 cells were chosen to establish oxidative-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) injury model. The in- teraction between miR-218-5p and N-myc downstream regulated gene 4 (NDRG4) was evaluated by Luciferase reporter assay. The levels of NDRG4, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and protein related to cell apoptosis were quantitatively analyzed with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) or western blotting. Inflammatory cytokines, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and oxidative stress status were measured using specific commercial assay kits. Further, the cells apoptosis was analyzed with flow cytometry assay. Results: MiR-218-5p level was notably increased in OGD/R injured PC12 cells and directly targeted NDRG4. MiR-218- 5p inhibitor significantly inhibited inflammatory cytokines release, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (INF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1). In addition, miR-218-5p downregulation ameliorated nitric oxide (NO) and eNOS levels and suppressed the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and cell apoptosis. However, NDRG4 silencing abolished all corrective effects of miR-218-5p inhibitor in OGD/R injured PC12 cells. Conclusions: Downregulation of miR-218-5p protect against OGDR-induced injuries of PC12 cells through reducing inflam- matory cytokines secretion, oxidative stress status, apoptosis rate and maintenance of endovascular homeostasis via upregulating NDRG4. MiR-218-5p may serve as a novel effective biomarker to monitor AIS progression.
