Objectives: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on miR-142-5p and ADAMTS1/PI3K/AKT pathway in rats with ischemic stroke, so as to explore the regulatory mechanism of electroacupuncture on angiogenesis after ischemic stroke.
Methods: This study was divided into two parts. The first part of the experiment:SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group and electroacupuncture group.
Objective: To observe the angiogenesis effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Shuigou acupoint (GV 26) in the treatment of cerebral ischemia, and explore the value of miRNA-7 (miR-7) in it.
Methods: First, 48 mice were randomly divided into sham operation, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, and EA treatment groups. Then 9 mice were divided into carrier control group, miR-7 knockout group and miR-7 overexpression group (n=3 each group).
Background: Dysregulation of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression is related to aging and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, and the lncRNA expression profile in the aging hippocampus is not well characterized. In the present investigation, the changed mRNAs and lncRNAs were confirmed via deep RNA sequencing. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were conducted to investigate the principal roles of the clearly dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs.
