Abstract
Cognitive deficit is a typical complication induced by stroke injuries. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a technique that can both attenuate neuropsychiatric disorders and influence miR levels. We attempted to assess effects of rTMS on post-stroke cognitive deficit (PSCD) by focusing on the activity of miR-409-3p/CTRP3/AMPK/Sirt1 axis. PSCD was induced in rats using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) method and handled with rTMS. MiRs responding to rTMS administration were determined using microarray method. Changes in cognitive function, brain histological feature, neuron apoptosis, and activity of miR-409-3p/CTR3/AMPK/Sirt1 axis were detected. The interaction between of miR-409-3p and rTMS was verified by inducing its level in MCAO rats. rTMS influenced levels of miRs in MCAO rats, with 104 miRs being upregulated and 249s miR being downregulated, contributing to the function changes in multiple biological processes. Moreover, the technique improved brain function and structure in model rats. At the molecular level, rTMS inhibited miR-409-3p and activated CTRP3/AMPK/Sirt1 pathway. After the induction of miR-409-3p, effects of rTMS were counteracted, which were represented by the impaired cognitive function and neuron viability in model rats. Collectively, rTMS could protect against stroke-induced cognitive deficits, which depended on the inhibition of miR-409-3p level.
