Abstract
To investigate the role and mechanism of long non-coding RNA PVT1 in sevoflurane-induced oxidative stress and cognitive dysfunction. The expression level of PVT1 and the mRNA expressions of Caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl2 were detected by RT-qPCR. Cell viability and apoptosis rate were evaluated by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined using commercial kits. The cognitive function of rats was assessed by Morris water maze (MWM) test. Online databases were used to predict the microRNAs (miRNAs) targeted by PVT1, and dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were performed to verify the targeted binding relationship. PVT1 levels were significantly upregulated in hippocampal tissues of rats and HT22 cells treated with sevoflurane. Silencing of PVT1 effectively alleviated sevoflurane-induced cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cognitive dysfunction. Mechanistic studies showed that PVT1 targeted miR-486-5p. In sevoflurane-treated hippocampal tissues of rats and HT22 cells, inhibition of miR-486-5p counteracted the protective effects of PVT1 silencing, leading to increased cell apoptosis, exacerbated oxidative stress, and deteriorated cognitive dysfunction. PVT1 silencing mitigates oxidative stress response and cognitive dysfunction by targeting miR-486-5p, providing a novel research perspective for the treatment of sevoflurane-induced nerve injury.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Research is devoted to the rapid publication of studies that use neurochemical methodology in research on nervous system structure and function. The journal publishes original reports of experimental and clinical research results, perceptive reviews of significant problem areas in the neurosciences, brief comments of a methodological or interpretive nature, and research summaries conducted by leading scientists whose works are not readily available in English.
