Abstract

Objective: To explore whether miR-199a-5p regulated BBB integrity through PI3K/Akt pathway after ischemia stroke.

Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats with permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) were used in experiment. The Ludmila Belayev 12-point scoring was used to measure the neurological function of MCAO rats. The Evans Blue Stain, immunofluorescence staining, western-blotting and RT-PCR were performed to evaluate the effects of miR-199a-5p mimic on BBB integrity in rats following MCAO.

Results: The result suggested that miR-199a-5p mimic treatment possessed the potential to boost proprioception and motor activity of MCAO rats. MiR-199a-5p decreased the expression of PIK3R2 after MCAO, activated Akt signaling pathway, and increased the expression of Claudin-5 and VEGF in the ischemic penumbra. Furthermore, miR-199a-5p alleviated inflammation after cerebral ischemia. BBB leakage and neurocyte apoptosis were cut down in MCAO rats treated with miR-199a-5p mimic.

Conclusions: MiR-199a-5p mimic decreased the expression of PIK3R2 and activated Akt signaling pathway after ischemia stroke, reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and attenuated BBB disruption after ischemic stroke.
