Abstract
Recently, microRNA-99b (miR-99b) shows diverse functions in different human disease. However, further studies about the potential effect of miR-99b in cerebral ischemia injury still need to be done. The expressions of miR-99b and IGF1R were detected via RT-qPCR assay. Western blot assay was applied to measure the protein expression of Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2. MTT assay was used to observe cell viability of SH-SY5Y cells. The association of miR-99b and IGF1R was testified by dual luciferase assay. And human SH-SY5Y cells were treated with the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) to mimic CIR injury. The expression of miR-99b was increased in the OGD/R model. And upregulation of miR-99b promoted cell viability and inhibited apoptosis induced by OGD/R. Moreover, IGF1R was confirmed as a direct target gene of miR-99b. The expression of IGF1R was obviously decreased under OGD/R conditions. MiR-99b promoted the viability and suppressed apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells under OGD/R conditions through targeting IGF1R.
