LncRNA GAS5 promotes epilepsy progression through the epigenetic repression of miR-219, in turn affecting CaMKIIγ/NMDAR pathway.
Journal of Neurogenetics 2022 March
It has been widely reported that dysregulated long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with epilepsy. This study aimed to probe the function of lncRNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5), microRNA (miR)-219 and Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)γ/N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) pathway in epilepsy. Epileptic cell and animal models were constructed using magnesium deficiency treatment and diazepam injection, respectively. GAS5 and miR-219 expressions in epileptic cell and animal models were determined using qRT-PCR assay. The protein levels of CaMKIIγ, NMDAR and apoptosis-related proteins levels were assessed by western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to determine cell proliferation. Besides, TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Furthermore, cell apoptosis was evaluated using TUNEL staining and flow cytometric analysis. Finally, the binding relationship between GAS5 and EZH2 was verified using RIP and ChIP assay. Our results revealed that GAS5 was markedly upregulated in epileptic cell and animal models, while miR-219 was down-regulated. GAS5 knockdown dramatically increased cell proliferation of epileptic cells, whereas suppressed inflammation and the apoptosis. Furthermore, our results showed that GAS5 epigenetically suppressed transcriptional miR-219 expression via binding to EZH2. miR-219 mimics significantly enhanced cell proliferation of epileptic cells, while inhibited inflammation and the apoptosis, which was neutralized by CaMKIIγ overexpression. Finally, miR-219 inhibition reversed the effects of GAS5 silence on epileptic cells, which was eliminated by CaMKIIγ inhibition. In conclusion, GAS5 affected inflammatory response and cell apoptosis of epilepsy via inhibiting miR-219 and further regulating CaMKIIγ/NMDAR pathway (See graphic summary in Supplementary Material).
