H19 competed with PDCD4 for miR-21 to form ceRNET. a Sketch of the dysregulated transcriptome and their correlations. From outside in: chromosome position, lncRNAs in the I/R retina, lncRNAs in the healthy control, miRNAs in the I/R group, miRNAs in the control group, mRNAs in the I/R retina, mRNAs in the healthy control, and interactions among these three types of RNAs in the dysregulated transcriptome. b In cultured microglia, PDCD4 expression was up-regulated by oH19 and the miR-21 inhibitor, and down-regulated by dH19 and the miR-21 mimic. PDCD4 dysregulation was aggravated by simultaneous H19 and miR-21 treatment at transcriptional level. c, d As measured by flow cytometry and ELISA, H19 excision-mediated prevention of IL-1β and IL-18 overproduction was abolished by PDCD4 overexpression in microglia. e As measured by real-time PCR, PDCD4 competed with H19 in regulating the NLRP3/NLRP6 inflammasome balance in microglia. And the expression of caspase-1, GSDMD, and the pro-inflammatory cytokines was increased by PDCD4 overexpression. Data were represented as means ± SD (n = 6). Compared with the OGD/R group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Compared with dH19 microglia: #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01. Compared with oH19 microglia: $$P < 0.01. NC, normal control lentivirus; dH19, H19 knockout; oH19, H19 overexpression; oPDCD4, PDCD4 overexpression
