Effect of miR-138-5p on LPS-induced cognitive impairment behaviors of rats in MWM Test and Y-maze Test. (A) Experimental protocol and timeline. (B) Representative swimming path on day 7 after LPS injection in MWM test. Effect of miR-138-5p antagomir and agomir on (C) escape latency, (D) number of crossing the platform, and (E) time spent in the target quadrant in MWM test. Effect of miR-138-5p antagomir and agomir on (F) alternation and (G) number of arm entries in Y-maze test. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. n = 5 per group. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
