Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effects of activating transcription factor 3(ATF3)pathway mediated by circSLC8Al on oxidative stress and iron activity of epileptic cells.Methods An epileptic cell model was established using human neuronal-hippocampal cells through Mg2+-free method.The expression levels of circSLC8A1 and ATF3 in healthy control group and model group were detected.Plasmid transfection was used to establish circSLC8A1 knockout group,ATF3 knockout group,circSLC8A1 knockout+ATF3 overexpression group,and ATF3 knockout+circSLC8A1 overexpression group.After 6h transfection,cells were cultured in normal medium for 48h.The cell viability,iron activity,reactive oxygen species(ROS),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and glutathione(GSH)of the different intervention groups were detected and compared.Results The expression levels of circSLC8A1,ATF3,ROS,LDH and iron activity in model group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group,while cell activity and GSH expression were significantly lower than those in healthy control group(P＜0.05).Knocking out circSLC8A1 can significantly reduce the expression of circSLC8A1 in epileptic model cells,while knocking out ATF3 can significantly reduce the expression of ATF3 in epileptic model cells(P＜0.05).Knocking out circSLC8A1 or ATF3 will increase the cell viability,decrease the iron activity and relieve the oxidative stress in epileptic model cells.Knocking out circSLC8A1 and overexpressing ATF3 can reverse the above trend,but knocking out ATF3 and overexpressing circSLC8A1 will not lead to the above phenomenon.Conclusion circSLC8A1 can influence the cell activity,oxidative stress and iron activity process of epileptic model cells by mediating ATF3 pathway,which provides some reference for the mechanism of epilepsy and its targeted therapy.
