PG - 6839-6855 LID - 10.1080/21655979.2022.2038448 [doi] AB - microRNAs, as small endogenous RNAs, influence umpteen sophisticated cellular biological functions regarding neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases. Here, we interrogated miR-381-3p's influence on BV2 activation and neurotoxicity in ischemic and hypoxic environment. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was adopted to induce microglial activation and HT-22 neuron damage. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was taken to check miR-381-3p expression in OGD-elicited BV2 cells and HT-22 neurons. It transpired that miR-381-3p expression was lowered in BV2 cells and HT-22 cells elicited by OGD. miR-381-3p up-regulation remarkably hampered inflammatory mediator expression in BV2 cells induced by OGD and weakened HT22 neuron apoptosis. In vivo, miR-381-3p expression was abated in HI rats' ischemic lesions, and miR-381-3p up-regulation could ameliorate inflammation and neuron apoptosis in their brain. C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) was identified as the downstream target of miR-381-3p, and miR-381-3p suppressed the CCR2/NF-kappaB pathway to mitigate microglial activation and neurotoxicity. Therefore, we believed that miR-381-3p overexpression exerts anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis in ischemic brain injury by targeting CCR2.
