A-synuclein Induces Microglial Cell Migration through Stimulating HIF-1a Accumulation

چکیده
Microglial cell migration and infiltration plays a critical role in spinal cord injury after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. In our previous study, a-synuclein, a presynaptic protein was shown to be released from injured neurons and cause microglial cell activation. Here, we aimed to explore the effect of a-synuclein on microglial cell migration. Primary microglial cells were isolated from Sprague–Dawley rats and then exposed different doses (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6lM) of a-synuclein oligomers. The mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1a were then analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Cell migration was examined by a 96-well Boyden chamber. Moreover, toll-like receptor (TLR) 2-expression as well as TLR7/8-expression was inhibited by specific siRNA transfection. HIF-1a was overexpressed by AdHIF-1a transfection. In the results, a-synuclein was found to stimulate HIF-1a accumulation in microglial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Silencing HIF-1a expression dampened a-synuclein induced microglial cell migration. Furthermore, blockade of TLR7/8 expression but not TLR2 expression reduced HIF-1a accumulation in microglial cells. In addition, overexpressed HIF-1a, along with Src, prompted caveolin-1 expression and phosphorylation, as well as migration in microglial cells. Asynuclein acts via TLR7/8 and enhances HIF-1a expression, which might play a regulatory role in microglial cell migration. VC 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To date, hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF-1a) and astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) have been involved in the proliferation, migration and morphological changes of vascular smooth muscle cells. However, the potential relationship of HIF-1a-AEG-1 pathway in human aortic smooth muscle cell (HASMC) has not been reported. In the present study, in-vitro assays were utilized to explore the potential ...

Migration toward pathological area is the first critical step in microglia engagement during the central nervous system (CNS) injury, although the molecular mechanisms underlying microglia mobilization have not been fully understood. Here, we report that hypoxia promotes stromal cell-derived factor-1a (SDF-1a) induced microglia migration by inducing the CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) expressi...

OBJECTIVES Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1a) is widely considered to be one of the key regulators in cancer cells. Here, we investigated a microRNA regulating expression of HIF-1a and explored its functions in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS Western blot and reporter assays were used to assess HIF-1a as a direct target of miR-138. The effects of miR...

Microglial cells are phagocytic cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and have been proposed to be a primary component of the innate immune response and maintain efficient CNS homeostasis. Microglial cells are activated during various phases of tissue repair and participate in various pathological conditions in the CNS. Following spinal cord injury (SCI), anoxemia is a key problem that resu...
