摘要: 目的 探讨miR-21减轻突变亨廷顿蛋白(mutant huntingtin,mHtt)细胞毒性的机制。  方法 利用qRT-PCR检测miR-21在亨廷顿病(Huntington’s disease,HD)转基因小鼠脑组织以及HEK293-160Q细胞中的变化;双荧光素酶实验检测PTEN是否为miR-21的靶基因;转染miR-21 mimics后,CCK8检测细胞活力,Caspase-3活性酶标检测Caspase-3活性,Western blotting检测PTEN、Ser-473位点磷酸化的AKT以及AKT。  结果 qRT-PCR结果显示,与野生型小鼠及HEK293-20Q细胞相比,HD转基因小鼠脑组织及HEK293-160Q细胞中miR-21均显著降低;双荧光素酶实验证实PTEN为miR-21靶基因;在HEK293-160Q细胞中转染miR-21 mimics后PTEN显著降低、p-AKT-Ser 473/AKT显著升高。  结论 miR-21能通过降低PTEN来提高p-AKT-Ser 473/AKT,减轻mHtt所引起的细胞毒性继而提高细胞活力、抑制细胞凋亡。

Abstract: Objective To detect the mechanism of miRNA-21 in reducing cytotoxicity of mutant Huntingtin (mHtt). Methods The changes of miRNA-21 in brain tissues of Huntington's disease (HD) transgenic mice and HEK293-160Q cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) ; Whether PTEN was the target gene of miRNA-21 or not was identified by double luciferase test; after transfected the miRNA-21 mimics, cell viability was detected by CCK8, caspase-3 activity was determined by caspase-3 activity assay kit; PTEN, phosphorylated-Ser-473 AKT and AKT were detected by Western Blotting. Results qRT-PCR result showed that the levels of miRNA-21 in brain tissues of HD transgenic mice and HEK293-160Q cells were significantly decreased compared with wild-type mice and HEK293-20Q cells; PTEN was the target gene of miRNA-21 which was confirmed by double luciferase test; Western Blotting showed that PTEN decreased significantly and p-AKT-Ser 473 AKT/AKT significantly increased in HEK293-160Q cells after transfected the miRNA-21 mimics. Conclusions miR-21 can increase the p-AKT-Ser 473/AKT by decreasing the PTEN, increase the cell viability and inhibit the apoptosis by alleviating the cytotoxicity of mHtt.
