microRNA-21 regulates astrocytic response following spinal cord injury.
Astrogliosis following spinal cord injury (SCI) involves an early hypertrophic response that serves to repair damaged blood-brain barrier and a subsequent hyperplastic response that results in a dense scar that impedes axon regeneration. The mechanisms regulating these two phases of astrogliosis are beginning to be elucidated. In this study, we found that microRNA-21 (miR-21) increases in a tim...
متن کاملMicroRNA Dysregulation in the Spinal Cord following Traumatic Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a multitude of pathophysiological events that are tightly regulated by the expression levels of specific genes. Recent studies suggest that changes in gene expression following neural injury can result from the dysregulation of microRNAs, short non-coding RNA molecules that repress the translation of target mRNA. To understand the mechanisms underlying gene alt...
متن کاملEffect of chondroitinase ABC on inflammatory and oxidative response following spinal cord injury
Objective(s): Chondroitinase ABC (cABC) treatment improves functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI) through degrading inhibitory molecules to axon growth. However, cABC involvement in other pathological processes contributing to SCI remains to be investigated. Here, we studied the effect of cABC I on oxidative stress and inflammation developed in a rat model of SCI.Materials and M...
متن کاملMicroRNA-21 promotes neurite outgrowth by regulating PDCD4 in a rat model of spinal cord injury
Altered expression levels of microRNA‑21 (miRNA‑21) have been observed in a series of pathological processes, including cancer and central nervous system injury; however, the involvement of miRNA‑21 in the molecular pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI) has not been well documented. The present study examined the expression levels of miRNA‑21 and its predicted target genes, programmed cel...
متن کاملAstrocytic Ephrin-B1 Regulates Synapse Remodeling Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in tissue alterations distant from the site of the initial injury, which can trigger pathological changes within hippocampal circuits and are thought to contribute to long-term cognitive and neuropsychological impairments. However, our understanding of secondary injury mechanisms is limited. Astrocytes play an important role in brain repair after injury a...
