- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of the long non-coding RNA LOXL1 antisense RNA 1 (LOXL1-AS1) on the apoptosis and inflammatory factor expression of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods HBMECs were divided into control group (normal culture), OGD group (OGD injury), OGD+si-NC group (transfection with si-NC plus OGD injury), OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1 group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 plus OGD injury), OGD+miR-NC group (transfection with miR-NC plus OGD injury), OGD+miR-761 group (transfection with miR-761 mimic plus OGD injury), OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+negative control group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 and anti-miR-NC plus OGD injury), and OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+miR-761 inhibitor group (transfection with si-LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761 inhibitor plus OGD injury). The expression of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761 was measured by RT-qPCR. Cell viability was measured using cell counting kit-8. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) protein and Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) protein was measured by Western blotting. The levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the complementary binding of LOXL1-AS1 and miR-761. Results Compared with the control group, the OGD group showed significant increases in LOXL1-AS1 expression, the cell apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels and significant decreases in the cell survival rate and Bcl-2 expression (all P<0.05). After inhibiting LOXL1-AS1, the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1 group showed significant decreases in LOXL1-AS1 expression, the apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels and significant decreases in the survival rate and Bcl-2 expression, compared with the OGD group and the OGD+si-NC group (all P<0.05). LOXL1-AS1 targeted the expression of miR-761. After overexpressing miR-761, the OGD+miR-761 group showed significant increases in the survival rate and Bcl-2 expression and significant decreases in the apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels, compared with the OGD+miR-NC group (all P<0.05). Compared with the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+negative control group, the OGD+si-LOXL1-AS1+miR-761 inhibitor group showed significantly decreased survival rate and Bcl-2 expression and significantly increased apoptosis rate, Bax expression, and IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels (all P<0.05). Conclusion Inhibiting LOXL1-AS1 expression can up-regulate miR-761 to promote the survival of OGD-induced HBMECs and suppress the cells' apoptosis and expression of inflammatory factors.
