We used in vivo models of middle cerebral artery occlusion and in vitro models of oxygen-glucose deprivation to illustrate the effect of long noncoding RNA Nespas on ischemic stroke.
We showed that Nespas played anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic roles in cultured microglial cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation stimulation and in mice after ischemic stroke by inhibiting TRIM8-related K63-linked polyubiquitination of TAK1.
We found expression of Nespas was significantly increased in ischemic cerebral tissues and oxygen-glucose deprivation–treated BV2 cells in a time-dependent manner. Silencing of Nespas aggravated middle cerebral artery occlusion operation–induced IR injury and cell death. In addition, proinflammatory cytokine production and NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) signaling activation were inhibited by Nespas overexpression. TAK1 (transforming growth factor- β–activated kinase 1) was found to directly interact with Nespas, and TAK1 activation was significantly suppressed by Nespas. At last, we found Nespas-inhibited TRIM8 (tripartite motif 8)-induced K63-linked polyubiquitination of TAK1.
