摘要
目的探讨miR-421影响抑郁症发生发展的作用机制。方法采取单次腹腔注射脂多糖(LPS)方法建立抑郁大鼠模型,采用糖水偏好度测试和旷场实验进行抑郁行为检测。通过miRNA微阵列芯片和RT-PCR分析miR-421在抑郁大鼠海马组织中的表达量,运用TargetScan数据库和mi RDB数据库进行预测miR-421的靶基因,采用双荧光素酶报告基因实验观察其与靶基因的结合情况,观察过表达和抑制miR-421对靶基因的影响,随后过表达和抑制靶基因,观察其对下游因子的影响,最终探究miR-421影响抑郁症的相关机制。结果miRNA微阵列芯片和RT-PCR检测表明miR-421在抑郁大鼠海马组织中呈高表达(P<0.001),抑制miR-421的表达可显著恢复抑郁大鼠的体重和运动能力(P<0.001)。TargetScan数据库预测得到Menin与miR-421存在结合靶点,双荧光素酶报告基因实验表明Menin与miR-421具有相互作用;当miR-421过表达时,Menin表达量会下调(P<0.001),相反,当抑制miR-421表达时,Menin表达量会上调(P<0.001)。qPCR检测提示,Menin下游因子Caspase-3、NF-κB在抑郁大鼠模型海马组织中的表达显著提高(P<0.001),IL-1β在抑郁大鼠模型海马组织中的表达明显提高(P<0.01),当抑制Menin表达时,Caspase-3、NF-κB、IL-1β表达量会升高(P<0.001),当过表达Menin时,Caspase-3、NF-κB、IL-1β表达量则降低(P<0.001)。结论抑制miR-421表达可升高Menin表达,降低Caspase-3含量,减少神经炎症反应,从而改善抑郁症状。
Objective To explore the mechanism of miR-421 affecting the occurrence and development of depression.Methods A depressive rat model was established by single intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS),and depressive behavior was detected by glucose preference test and open-field test.miRNA microarray chips and RT-PCR were used to analyze the expression level of miR-421 in hippocampus of the depressed rats.TargetScan database and mi RDB database were used to predict the target genes of miR-421.Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to observe the binding of miR-421 to the target genes.The impact of over-expression and inhibition of miR-421 on target genes was observed,then the influence of over-expression and inhibition of target genes on downstream factors was observed,and the related mechanism of miR-421 on depression was explored.Results miRNA microarray chips and RT-PCR assay showed that miR-421 was highly expressed in the hippocampus of the depressed rats(P<0.001),Inhibition of miR-421 expression could significantly restore the body weight and exercise ability of the depressed rats(P<0.001).Binding targets of Menin and miR-421 were predicted by TargetScan database,and interaction between Menin and miR-421 was demonstrated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.Menin expression was down-regulated while miR-421 was overexpressed(P<0.001),whereas it was up-regulated as miR-421 was inhibited(P<0.001).qPCR indicated that expressions of Caspase-3 and NF-κB in the hippocampus of the depressed rats was significantly increased(P<0.001),and IL-1βexpression in the hippo⁃campus was significantly increased(P<0.01).When the expression of Menin was inhibited,the expressions of Caspase-3,NF-κB and IL-1βwere increased(P<0.001),while the expressions of Caspase-3,NF-κB and IL-1βwere decreased when Menin was overexpressed(P<0.001).Conclusions Inhibition of miR-421 expression can increase Menin expression,decrease Caspase-3 content,and reduce neuroinflammatory response,thereby improving depressive symptoms
