Abstract:
This study aims to explore the molecular mechanisms of miR-206-3p in regulating Hsp90aa1 and its involvement in the central nervous system (CNS) injury in heat stroke. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed on the GSE64778 dataset of heat stroke to identify module genes most closely associated with disease characteristics. Through the selection of key genes and predicting upstream miRNAs using RNAInter and miRWalk databases, the regulatory relationship between miR-206-3p and Hsp90aa1 was determined. Through in vitro experiments, various methods, including bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RIP experiment, and RNA pull-down experiment, were utilized to validate this regulatory relationship. Furthermore, functional experiments, including CCK-8 assay to test neuron cell viability and flow cytometry to assess neuron apoptosis levels, confirmed the role of miR-206-3p. Transmission electron microscopy, real-time quantitative PCR, DCFH-DA staining, and ATP assay were employed to verify neuronal mitochondrial damage. Heat stroke rat models were constructed, and mNSS scoring and cresyl violet staining were utilized to assess neural functional impairment. Biochemical experiments were conducted to evaluate inflammation, brain water content, and histopathological changes in brain tissue using H&E staining. TUNEL staining was applied to detect neuronal apoptosis in brain tissue. RT-qPCR and Western blot were performed to measure gene and protein expression levels, further validating the regulatory relationship in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-206-3p regulation of Hsp90aa1 may be involved in CNS injury in heat stroke. In vivo, animal experiments demonstrated that miR-206-3p and Hsp90aa1 co-localized in neurons of the rat hippocampal CA3 region, and with prolonged heat stress, the expression of miR-206-3p gradually increased while the expression of Hsp90aa1 gradually decreased. Further in vitro cellular mechanism validation and functional experiments confirmed that miR-206-3p could inhibit neuronal cell viability and promote apoptosis and mitochondrial damage by targeting Hsp90aa1. In vivo, experiments confirmed that miR-206-3p promotes CNS injury in heat stroke. This study revealed the regulatory relationship between miR-206-3p and Hsp90aa1, suggesting that miR-206-3p could regulate the expression of Hsp90aa1, inhibit neuronal cell viability, and promote apoptosis, thereby contributing to CNS injury in heat stroke.
