Description
Abstract
Objective. Propofol (PRO) was reported to
exert a neuroprotective effect by decreasing microRNA134 (miR-134), a brain-specific miRNA, thus, the role of
PRO against cobalt chloride (CoCl
2)-induced injury in
rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) via mediating miR134 was explored.
Methods. CoCl
2-induced PC12 cells treated with
PRO were transfected with or without miR-134 negative
control (NC)/ inhibitor/mimic, and the following
detections were then performed using cell counting kit-8
(CCK-8), Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/
propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) and Hoechst
33258 staining. Autophagy was observed by
transmission electron microscope (TEM). Mitochondrial
membrane potential (MMP) was detected by
Rhodamine-123 (Rh123) staining, and reactive oxygen
species (ROS) by dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate
(DCFH-DA) staining. Protein and gene expressions were
measured by Western blotting and quantitative reverse
transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR),
respectively.
Results. PRO reversed the CoCl
2-induced decrease
in the PC12 cell viability and increased miR-134 in a
dose-dependent manner. CoCl
2 increased LC3II/I ratio
and Beclin-1 expression, but decreased p62 expression,
which was abolished by PRO. In addition, an increased
cell apoptosis rates triggered by CoCl
2 were reduced by
PRO with the down-regulations of Bax and Caspase-3
and the up-regulation of Bcl-2. Furthermore, PRO
decreased methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), nitric
oxide (NO) and ROS in CoCl
2-induced PC12 cells
accompanying the increase in glutathione peroxidase
(GSH-Px) and MMP. The effects of PRO on autophagy,
apoptosis and oxidative stress in CoCl
2-induced PC12
cell were reversed by miR-134 mimic.
Conclusion. PRO may mitigate CoCl2-induced
autophagy in PC12 cells with decreased apoptosis and
improved oxidative stress via mediating miR-134.
