Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in regulating cerebral angiogenesis after stroke. Meanwhile, excessive VEGF expression induces increased microvascular permeability in brain, probably leading to neurological deterioration. Therefore, the appropriate level of VEGF expression is significant to the recovery of brain exposed to stroke. In this work, we demonstrate that microRNA-150 (miR-150) and its predicted target MYB form a negative feedback loop to control the level of post-stroke VEGF expression. Repression of MYB leads to decreased expression of miR-150 in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVECs) exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD), thus miR-150 was predicted to be down-regulated by MYB. Moreover, MYB was confirmed to be a direct target of miR-150 by using dual luciferase reporter assay. In our previous work, we have validated VEGF as another direct target of miR-150. Therefore, MYB participates in regulation of VEGF via miR-150 under OGD, forming a feedback loop with miR-150. We also find that high levels of miR-150 inhibitors combined with MYB silence contribute to further enhancement of VEGF expression in BMVECs in response to OGD. These observations suggest that the feedback loop comprised of miR-150 and MYB, which is a pivotal endogenous epigenetic regulation to control the expression levels of VEGF in BMVECs subjected to OGD.

Objective: The objective of the present work was to study the role of Cxcl1 in cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury and to in-depth explore its pathogenesis. Methods: The expression of Cxcl1 based on the public data was analyzed. Then, we constructed an oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in vitro using mice brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) to simulate cerebral I/R in vivo. Results: The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay uncovered that Cxcl1 showed higher expression while miR-429 showed lower expression in BMECs damaged by OGD/R, whereas overexpression of Cxcl1 or inhibition of miR-429 expression can strengthen this effect. Hereafter, through dual luciferase reporter assay, we verified that miR-429 directly targets Cxcl1 and negatively regulates Cxcl1 expression. Furthermore, the results also revealed that overexpression of Cxcl1 can reverse the miR-429-mediated effects. Conclusion: We concluded that miR-429 exerts protective effects against OGD/R-induce injury in vitro through modulation of Cxcl1 and nuclear factor kinase B pathway, hoping provide a new view on the pathogenesis of cerebral I/R injury and a feasible potential therapeutic target.

Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability around the world. Angiogenesis is supposed to protect brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) from oxidative and ischemic stress. Previous studies indicated that interaction between metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and miR-145 was involved in myocardial ischemia reperfusion, suggesting MALAT1 and miR-145 were also mediated with the progress of angiogenesis and cell migration in oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced BMECs. The present study aimed to investigate the functional roles of MALAT1 in regulating miR-145 and its downstream pro-angiogenesis factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) during the progress of angiogenesis in OGD-induced BMECs. An in vitro OGD model was employed in mouse BMECs to mimic brain hypoxic and ischemic conditions; MTT was used to determine cell viability. qRT-PCR was used to determine the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-MALAT1 and miR-145 under OGD conditions; in vitro tube formation assay was used to investigate angiogenic effect of MALAT1 and miR-145. The relationship between lncRNA-MALAT1/miR-145 and miR-145/VEGF-A/ANGPT2 was evaluated by qRT-PCR and Western blot, and direct binding was assessed using dual luciferase assay. Results showed that the levels of lncRNA-MALAT1 and miR-145 were up-regulated in OGD-induced BMECs. miR-145 functioned as an anti-angiogenic and pro-apoptotic factor in OGD treated BMECs via down-regulating VEGF-A and ANGPT2 directly. While lncRNA-MALAT1 enhanced the expressions of VEGF-A and ANGPT2 by targetting miR-145 to promote angiogenesis and proliferation of BMECs under OGD conditions. Our present study revealed the inhibitory functions of miR-145 on angiogenesis through direct targetting on VEGF-A and ANGPT2 for the first time and proved the protective role of lncRNA-MALAT1 for BMECs under OGD conditions through the direct regulation of miR-145.
