摘要:

miRNA是一类内源性短链非编码RNA,可介导多种生物学功能。miRNA可调节周围神经的各种生理和病理活动,其中包括神经修复和再生。作者所在团队曾利用大鼠坐骨神经损伤模型发现了许多新的miRNA,其中包括miR-sc14。此次实验以实时RT-PCR检测坐骨神经缺损大鼠神经残端中miR-sc14的表达变化,发现其在坐骨神经损伤后发生显著改变,o损伤上1d开始增加,而7d时下降。然后EdU细胞增殖实验和Tranwell细胞迁移实验结果表明,转染miR-sc14模拟物可以促进许旺细胞的增殖和迁移,而转染miR-sc14抑制剂可以抑制许旺细胞的增殖和迁移。另外,生物信息学分析研究了miR-sc14的潜在靶基因,发现成纤维细胞生长因子受体2)可能是miR-sc14的潜在靶基因。实验结果揭示了神经损伤后不同时间点大鼠坐骨神经中miR-sc14的表达变化,发现上调的miR-sc14可促进许旺细胞的增殖和迁移,因而miR-sc14可能成为促进周围神经的损伤修复的干预靶点。

Abstract:

MicroRNAs refer to a class of endogenous, short non-coding RNAs that mediate numerous biological functions. MicroRNAs regulate var¬ious physiological and pathological activities of peripheral nerves, including peripheral nerve repair and regeneration. Previously, using a rat sciatic nerve injury model, we identified many functionally annotated novel microRNAs, including miR-sc14. Here, we used real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to examine miR-sc14 expression in rat sciatic nerve stumps. Our results show that miR-sc14 is noticeably altered following sciatic nerve injury, being up-regulated at 1 day and diminished at 7 days. EdU and transwell chamber assay results showed that miR-sc14 mimic promoted proliferation and migration of Schwann cells, while miR-sc14 inhibitor suppressed their proliferation and migration. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis examined potential target genes of miR-sc14, and found that fibro¬blast growth factor receptor 2 might be a potential target gene. Specifically, our results show changes of miR-sc14 expression in the sciatic nerve of rats at different time points after nerve injury. Appropriately, up-regulation of miR-sc14 promoted proliferation and migration of Schwann cells. Consequently, miR-sc14 may be an intervention target to promote repair of peripheral nerve injury. The study was ap¬proved by the Jiangsu Provincial Laboratory Animal Management Committee, China on March 4, 2015 (approval No. 20150304-004).
