摘要:

作者团队既往研究发现,miR-124-3p在重复性轻度创伤性脑损伤后的小胶质细胞外泌体中上调,但其对神经元内质网应激的潜在影响尚不清楚。实验首先以划痕损伤HT22细胞模拟创伤性脑损伤,再使其与高表达miR-124-3p的BV2小胶质细胞共培养,结果证实小胶质细胞来源的高表达miR-124-3p的外泌体可改善划痕损伤神经元的凋亡和内质网应激。萤光素酶报告基因实验进一步证明,miR-124-3p可与内质网应激相关蛋白IRE1α的特异性位点结合,同时IRE1α功能挽救实验也证实,miR-124-3p可通过靶向IRE1α降低其表达,从而抑制损伤神经元的内质网应激。最后将含有miR-124-3p的小胶质细胞来源外泌体鼻内递送到重复性轻度创伤性脑损伤小鼠模型中,可见海马神经元内质网应激和细胞凋亡显著减少。提示重复性轻度创伤性脑损伤后小胶质细胞外泌体中高表达的miR-124-3p可转移到损伤神经元中抑制神经元应激,从而发挥神经保护作用。因此,含miR-124-3p的小胶质细胞外泌体可能成为重复性轻度创伤性脑损伤后神经保护的一种新疗法。

Abstract: We previously reported that miR-124-3p is markedly upregulated in microglia-derived exosomes following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury. However, its impact on neuronal endoplasmic reticulum stress following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury remains unclear. In this study, we first used an HT22 scratch injury model to mimic traumatic brain injury, then co-cultured the HT22 cells with BV2 microglia expressing high levels of miR-124-3p. We found that exosomes containing high levels of miR-124-3p attenuated apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assay analysis confirmed that miR-124-3p bound specifically to the endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein IRE1α, while an IRE1α functional salvage experiment confirmed that miR-124-3p targeted IRE1α and reduced its expression, thereby inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress in injured neurons. Finally, we delivered microglia-derived exosomes containing miR-124-3p intranasally to a mouse model of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury and found that endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis levels in hippocampal neurons were significantly reduced. These findings suggest that, after repetitive mild traumatic brain injury, miR-124-3 can be transferred from microglia-derived exosomes to injured neurons, where it exerts a neuroprotective effect by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress. Therefore, microglia-derived exosomes containing miR-124-3p may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for repetitive mild traumatic brain injury.
