Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of miR-34a on upregulating the expression of Bcl-2,which induces the apoptosis of primary auditory cortex neuron in the central mechanism of age-related hearing loss.METHODS Using C57BL/6 suckling mouse to obtain the brain tissue from auditory cortex according to the Location map,and to primary culture the neurons.After transfection on primary neurons,western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and then hoechst staining was used to detect the apoptosis after transfection.RESULTS primary culture of auditory cortex neurons abtained from enzyme digestion were transfected with miR-34a mimic and miR-34a inhibitor to upregualte or downregulate the expression of miR-34a,the results showed that the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased after upregulation of miR-34a with the concentration of 5 nmol/L(t=5.127,P＜0.05),there was significant difference between the concentration of 10 and 20 nmol/L(t=6.379,P＜0.05),while increased after downregulation of miR-34a with concentration of 5 nmol/L(t=4.926,P＜0.05),there was significant difference between the concentration of 10 and 20 nmol/L(t=5.821,P＜0.05).Hoechst staining showed that the apoptotic neurons was increased after transfection of miR-34a mimic.CONCLUSION miR-34a induce the auditory cortex neuron apoptosis through downregulates Bcl-2,which central mechanism of age-related hearing loss.
