摘要:

研究旨在探讨miR-93通过PI3K/AKT通路调控巨噬细胞M2极化及神经血管组织修复,以促进创伤性脑损伤(traumatic brain injury,TBI)修复的机制。实验使用雌性C57BL/6小鼠,分为假手术组(Sham组)、模型组(TBI组)、TBI+miR-93抑制剂组和TBI+miR-93激动剂组。qPCR检测M1、M2型巨噬细胞CD80、CD206 mRNA的相对表达水平;酶联免疫反应(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA)检测免疫炎症因子TNF-α、IL-12、TGF-β和IL-13浓度;血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF)免疫荧光染色观察TBI后血管组织再生;Western blot检测p-PI3K和p-AKT蛋白的相对表达水平。结果发现,TBI+miR-93激动剂组能促进巨噬细胞M2型极化,抑制TNF-α、IL-12表达,促进TGF-β、IL-13表达,mNSS评分较低且VEGF表达活跃,p-PI3K和p-AKT蛋白表达升高。结果表明,TBI后,miR-93代偿升高,调节巨噬细胞M2型极化,有助于损伤后神经和血管组织修复,这一过程可能是通过激活PI3K/AKT信号通路实现的。

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which miR-93 promotes traumatic brain injury (TBI) repair through regulating macrophage M2 polarization and neurovascular tissue regeneration via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Female C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to four groups: sham-operated (Sham), TBI model (TBI), TBI + miR-93 inhibitor (TBI+inhibitor), and TBI + miR-93 agonist (TBI+agonist). Relative mRNA expression levels of M1 macrophage marker CD80 and M2 macrophage marker CD206 were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Concentrations of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-12, TGF-β, and IL-13 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunofluorescence staining for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was performed to evaluate angiogenesis post-TBI. Western blotting was used to determine the relative protein expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K) and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT).Compared to the TBI group, the TBI+agonist group exhibited enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-12, and increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-β and IL-13. Furthermore, this group showed a lower modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS), indicative of improved neurological function, enhanced VEGF expression reflecting active angiogenesis, and elevated levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT proteins.These results suggested that miR-93 expression is compensatorily upregulated following TBI. miR-93 promotes neurovascular repair after injury by modulating macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype, likely via activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
