摘要:


文题释义:

miR-141-3p:是一种功能丰富的微小RNA,可通过调控其靶基因来调控许多病理、生理过程,研究表明,其在骨髓基质细胞中随着年龄的增加而增加,且与炎症信号通路的活化存在一定关系,提示其可能成为腰椎间盘突出症的治疗靶点。
胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子:胰岛素样生长因子1是生长激素的介质,具有很强的促进骨组织生成作用,同时还可抑制骨中胶原降解、防止骨吸收等;而血小板源性生长因子是一种碱性蛋白质,具有促进血管再生的作用,有研究表明其可促进椎间盘中的血管内皮细胞生长,从而促进椎间盘再生以及突出椎间盘的重吸收。


背景:研究表明,胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子有抑制纤维环细胞凋亡的作用。miR-141-3p微小RNA在骨髓基质细胞中随着年龄的增加而增加,且与炎症信号通路的活化存在一定关系,提示其可能成为腰椎间盘突出症的治疗靶点。

目的:探究miR-141-3p通过调控胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子对腰椎间盘突出症大鼠背根神经节炎症及下肢疼痛的影响。
方法:选取50只SPF级SD雄性大鼠,随机分为正常组、模型组、miR-NC组、miR-141-3p inhibitor组、miR-141-3p mimics组,每组10只。除正常组外,其余大鼠采用自体髓核移植法进行腰椎间盘突出症建模。建模成功后,对miR-NC组、miR-141-3p inhibitor组和miR-141-3p mimics组大鼠鞘内分别注射10 μL 20 μmol/L miR-NC,miR-141-3p inhibitor,miR-141-3p mimics,均每天注射1次,连续注射28 d;正常组、模型组同期同位置注射同体积生理盐水。采用热缩足潜伏期阈值评价大鼠下肢疼痛,实时荧光定量 PCR 检测背根神经节组织miR-141-3p mRNA表达,ELISA法检测背根神经节组织炎症因子,免疫印迹法检测背根神经节组织胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子蛋白表达,并分析miR-141-3p与胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子的相关性。

结果与结论:miR-NC组各项指标与模型组比较,差异均无显著性意义。①大鼠热缩足潜伏期阈值:模型组明显低于正常组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p inhibitor组明显低于miR-NC组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p mimics组明显高于miR-141-3p inhibitor组(P < 0.05)。②背根神经节组织miR-141-3p mRNA表达:模型组明显低于正常组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p inhibitor组明显低于miR-NC组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p mimics组明显高于miR-141-3p inhibitor组(P < 0.05)。③背根神经节组织肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1β、白细胞介素1含量:模型组明显高于正常组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p inhibitor组明显高于miR-NC组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p mimics组明显低于miR-141-3p inhibitor组(P < 0.05)。④背根神经节组织胰岛素样生长因子1、血小板源性生长因子蛋白表达:模型组明显低于正常组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p inhibitor组明显低于miR-NC组(P < 0.05),miR-141-3p mimics组明显高于miR-141-3p inhibitor组(P < 0.05)。⑤胰岛素样生长因子1与miR-141-3p呈正相关(r=0.904,P < 0.001),血小板源性生长因子与miR-141-3p呈正相关(r=0.879,P < 0.001)。⑥结论:miR-141-3p可显著改善腰椎间盘突出症大鼠下肢疼痛,抑制背根神经节炎症,其机制可能与促进胰岛素样生长因子1/血小板源性生长因子表达有关。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that insulin-like growth factor 1/platelet-derived growth factor has an inhibitory effect on fibroblast apoptosis. miR-141-3p in bone marrow stromal cells increases with age and has a relationship with the activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, suggesting that it may be a therapeutic target for lumbar disc herniation.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of miR-141-3p on dorsal root ganglion inflammation and lower limb pain in rats with lumbar disc herniation by regulating insulin-like growth factor 1/platelet-derived growth factor. 
METHODS: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats, SPF level, were randomly divided into normal group, model group, miR-NC group, miR-141-3p inhibitor group and miR-141-3p mimics group, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, animal models of lumbar disc herniation were established in rats by autologous nucleus pulposus transplantation. After successful modeling, rats in the miR-NC, miR-141-3p inhibitor and miR-141-3p mimics groups were injected intrathecally with 10 μL of 20 μmol/L miR-NC, miR-141-3p inhibitor, miR-141-3p mimics, once a day for 28 days, respectively, while those in the normal and model groups were injected with the same volume of saline at the same location at the same time. Paw withdrawal thermal latency threshold was used to evaluate lower limb pain in rats. The mRNA expression of miR-141-3p in dorsal root ganglion tissue was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, the levels of inflammatory factors in dorsal root ganglion tissue were detected by ELISA, and the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1/platelet-derived growth factor in dorsal root ganglion tissue was detected by western blot. The correlation between miR-141-3p and insulin-like growth factor 1/platelet-derived growth factor was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in all indexes between the miR-NC group and the model group. Paw withdrawal thermal latency threshold was significantly lower in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05), significantly lower in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group than the miR-NC group (P < 0.05), and significantly higher in the miR-141-3p mimics group than in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of miR-141-3p in dorsal root ganglion tissue was significantly lower in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05), significantly lower in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group than in the miR-NC group (P < 0.05), and significantly higher in the miR-141-3p mimics group than in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group (P < 0.05). The levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β, and interleukin 1 in dorsal root ganglion tissue were significantly higher in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05), significantly higher in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group than in the miR-NC group (P < 0.05), and significantly lower in the miR-141-3p mimics group than in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group (P < 0.05). The protein expressions of insulin-like growth factor 1 and platelet-derived growth factor in dorsal root ganglion tissue were significantly lower in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05), significantly lower in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group than in the miR-NC group (P < 0.05), and significantly higher in the miR-141-3p mimics group than in the miR-141-3p inhibitor group (P < 0.05). The expressions of insulin-like growth factor 1 and platelet-derived growth factor showed a positive correlation with miR-141-3p (r=0.904, P < 0.001; r=0.879, P < 0.001). To conclude, miR-141-3p can significantly improve lower limb pain and inhibit inflammation in dorsal root ganglia in rats with lumbar disc herniation, and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of insulin-like growth factor 1/platelet-derived growth factor expression.
