Abstract
Objective
The aim of this research was to investigate the specific regulatory role of miR-6760-5p in angiogenesis in moyamoya disease.
Methods
HUVECs were transfected with miR-6760-5p inhibitor and mimics fragments, then subjected to assays for cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Subsequently, downstream target genes of miR-6760-5p were predicted and the protein expression levels of these genes were evaluated. The presence of miR-6760-5p and YAP1 was verified by a dual luciferase reporter gene test, followed by an assessment of the effects of YAP1 and miR-6760-5p on the HUVECs.
Results
Comparatively to the control group, increased expression of miR-6760-5p decreased cell growth, movement, and tube formation. YAP1 gene was discovered as a target controlled by miR-6760-5p, with subsequent investigation confirming YAP1 as a gene regulated by miR-6760-5p. Additionally, miR-6760-5p was found to counteract the angiogenesis-promoting effect of YAP1.
Conclusion
The results of this research suggest a possible link between the miR-6760-5p gene found in the cerebrospinal fluid of individuals with moyamoya disease and the process of vascularization in this particular condition. The findings indicate that miR-6760-5p may be a new molecular indicator and potential target for the diagnosis of moyamoya disease.
