■本研究旨在研究长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)NEAT1在小鼠角膜上皮伤口愈合中的作用。
■野生型(WT)的中央角膜上皮,MALAT1基因敲除(M-KO),NEAT1敲除(N-KO),并刮除NEAT1敲低(N-KD)小鼠以评估角膜上皮和神经再生率。清创后24小时对WT和N-KO小鼠的角膜上皮进行RNA测序,以确定NEAT1的作用。使用定量PCR(qPCR)和ELISA来确认生物信息学分析。使用腺苷酸环化酶抑制剂SQ22536在N-KO和N-KD小鼠中评估cAMP信号通路的作用。
■N-KO小鼠中央角膜上皮清创术显著促进上皮和神经再生率,同时抑制炎性细胞浸润。此外,Atp1a2,Ppp1r1b的表达,Calm4和Cngb1是cAMP信号通路的关键组成部分,在N-KO小鼠中上调,表明它的激活。此外,cAMP通路抑制剂SQ22536逆转了N-KO和N-KD小鼠的加速角膜上皮伤口愈合。
■NEAT1缺乏通过激活cAMP信号通路促进角膜创伤愈合过程中的上皮修复,从而突出了角膜上皮疾病的潜在治疗策略。
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to investigate the role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NEAT1 in corneal epithelial wound healing in mice.
UNASSIGNED: The central corneal epithelium of wild-type (WT), MALAT1 knockout (M-KO), NEAT1 knockout (N-KO), and NEAT1 knockdown (N-KD) mice was scraped to evaluate corneal epithelial and nerve regeneration rates. RNA sequencing of the corneal epithelium from WT and N-KO mice was performed 24 hours after debridement to determine the role of NEAT1. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and ELISA were used to confirm the bioinformatic analysis. The effects of the cAMP signaling pathway were evaluated in N-KO and N-KD mice using SQ22536, an adenylate cyclase inhibitor.
UNASSIGNED: Central corneal epithelial debridement in N-KO mice significantly promoted epithelial and nerve regeneration rates while suppressing inflammatory cell infiltration. Furthermore, the expression of Atp1a2, Ppp1r1b, Calm4, and Cngb1, which are key components of the cAMP signaling pathway, was upregulated in N-KO mice, indicative of its activation. Furthermore, the cAMP pathway inhibitor SQ22536 reversed the accelerated corneal epithelial wound healing in both N-KO and N-KD mice.
UNASSIGNED: NEAT1 deficiency contributes to epithelial repair during corneal wound healing by activating the cAMP signaling pathway, thereby highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for corneal epithelial diseases.
