miR-455 upregulation restrained neuronal cell death and weakened ischemic brain infarction.
Notes: (A) Neurons were treated with miR-455 mimics or miR-455 inhibitor, and miR-455 expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR, F=7.17. (B) The CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell survival, and the neuronal cell death rate was increased after OGD for 24 hours, t=4.49. (C) The neuronal cell treated with miR-455 mimics showed a decreased death rate after OGD for 24 hours, t=3.38. (D) The miR-455 inhibitor significantly increased death rate in neurons after OGD for 24 hours, t=2.53. (E) miR-455 level was increased in brain treated with miR-455 mimics after MCAO for 24 hours, n=5, t=4.51. (F) The level of miR-455 was reduced in brains treated with miR-455 inhibitor after MCAO for 24 hours, n=5, t=4.57. (G) The infarction volume of ischemic brain treated with miR-455 mimics was reduced, n=5, t=2.45. (H) The infarction volume of ischemic brain treated with miR-455 inhibitor was aggravated, n=5, t=3.47. *P<0.05.
