目的 探讨miR-24-3p促进大鼠脊髓损伤(SCI)修复的分子机制。 方法 构建SD大鼠SCI模型,通过qRT-PCR检测SCI后miR-24-3p的表达变化。采用立体定位仪,通过尖端固定有毛细玻璃管的微量注射器于SCI头、尾各3 mm处注射miR-24-3p agomir或阴性对照agomir。使用BBB评分评估SCI大鼠运动功能恢复情况,HE染色观察脊髓组织形态学改变,试剂盒检测SCI区域Fe2+含量,普鲁士蓝+DAB染色检测SCI区域铁沉积变化。采用Western blotting和免疫荧光染色检测SCI区域组织GSK-3β及铁死亡相关蛋白xCT、GPX4的表达水平。双荧光素酶报告实验验证miR-24-3p与GSK-3β的靶向关系。体外构建Erastin诱导的PC12细胞铁死亡模型,检测MDA含量变化, Western blotting和免疫荧光染色检测细胞内GSK-3β、xCT和GPX4的蛋白表达水平变化。 结果 在SD大鼠SCI模型中,SCI区域miR-24-3p、xCT和GPX4蛋白表达在损伤后显著降低(P<0.05)。给予miR-24-3p agomir干预后,SCI大鼠后肢运动功能明显恢复,脊髓组织病理形态得到改善,Fe2+含量及铁沉积减少,GSK-3β蛋白表达降低,xCT和GPX4蛋白表达增加(P<0.05)。双荧光素酶报告实验证实miR-24-3p与GSK-3β之间存在靶向关系并抑制GSK-3β的表达。PC12细胞铁死亡模型中,转染miR-24-3p mimics可显著降低细胞内MDA含量和GSK-3β蛋白表达水平,并升高xCT和GPX4的蛋白表达水平;联合转染GSK-3β抑制剂后,上述效应进一步增强。 结论 miR-24-3p通过抑制GSK-3β抑制铁死亡,从而促进大鼠SCI的修复。
