Abstract

The present study was designed to evaluate the potential role of miR-93 in cerebral ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice. The stroke model was produced in C57BL/6 J mice via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 1 h followed by reperfusion. And miR-93 antagomir was transfected to down-regulate the miR-93 level. Our results showed that miR-93 levels in the cerebral cortex of mice increased at 24 and 48 h after reperfusion. Importantly, in vivo study demonstrated that treatment with miR-93 antagomir reduced cerebral infarction volume, neural apoptosis and restored the neurological scores. In vitro study demonstrated that miR-93 antagomir attenuated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced injury. Moreover, miR-93 antagomir suppressed oxidative stress in I/R brain and H2O2 treated cortical neurons. Furthermore, we founded that down-regulation of miR-93 increased the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-93 directly binds to the predicted 3'-UTR target sites of the nrf2 gene. Finally, we found that knockdown of Nrf2 or HO-1 abolished miR-93 antagomir-induced neuroprotection against oxidative stress in H2O2 treated neuronal cultures. These results suggested that miR-93 antagomir alleviates ischemic injury through the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant pathway.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 August 2022.
All research outputs
#6,150,732
of 24,285,692 outputs
Outputs from Neurochemical Research
#489
of 2,197 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,721
of 359,115 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neurochemical Research
#16
of 50 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,285,692 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,197 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,115 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 50 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
