LncRNA MIAT overexpression reduced neuron apoptosis in a neonatal rat model of hypoxic-ischemic injury through miR-211/GDNF.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the underlying mechanism of lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced neonatal cerebral palsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Neonatal rat model of HI injury was established to detect the motor function. LncRNA MIAT, miR-211, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and caspase-3 expressions were measured by qRT-PCR or western blot. The apoptosis of Neuro2A cells was detected by flow cytometry. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays were performed to confirm the interaction between MIAT and miR-211. RESULTS:Compared with control group, lncRNA MIAT and GDNF were downregulated in striatal tissues of neonatal rats in HI group and oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced ischemic injury of Neuro2A cells,
