MiRNAs are related to neuronal proliferation and apoptosis following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). This study focused on miR-30c-5p in the disease. An oxygen-glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) model was prepared in HT22 cells and transfected to overexpress miR-30c-5p and G Protein Subunit Alpha I2 (GNAI2) respectively or co-transfected to silence miR-30c-5p and GNAI2.

A literature search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and SinoMed was conducted for eligible studies published up to Jun 5, 2015. The strength of the association between the polymorphism and ALS susceptibility was estimated by odds ratio (OR) and associated 95 % confidence interval (CI).
