Background: Inflammation and oxidative stress is closely associated with the development of ischemic brain stroke. Opa-interacting protein 5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1), a novel identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), has been suggested to play an important role in the development of many types of human cancers. However, the functional involvement of OIP5-AS1 in ischemic stroke is still unknown.

Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and /or western blot were conducted to determine the expression profiles of OIP5-AS1, C1q/TNF-related protein 3 (CTRP3) and miR-186-5p in the serum of stroke patients, as well as in the ischemic penumbra of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury and microglial cells treated with oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R). Upon selective regulation of OIP5-AS1 and miR-186-5p, the inflammation and oxidative stress responses in microglia/macrophage as well as neurologic functions in MCAO/R rats were detected. Furthermore, the interactions between OIP5-AS1 and miR-186-5p, miR-186-5p and CTRP3 were investigated by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, luciferase report assay and bioinformation anaylsis.

Results: We observed markedly increased infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress responses in the infarcted lesions of MCAO/R rats, in line with down-regulated levels of OIP5-AS1 and CTRP3 while up-regulated miR-186-5p. Functional studies demonstrated that up-regulation of OIP5-AS1 attenuated infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, microglia/macrophage inflammation and oxidative stress responses induced by MCAO/R or OGD/R. In terms of mechanism, we revealed that OIP5-AS1-miR-186-5p-CTRP3 axis played a vital role in modulating microglia/macrophage activation and neuronal apoptosis.

Conclusion: Up-regulating lncRNA OIP5-AS1 protects neuron injury against MCAO/R induced inflammation and oxidative stress in microglia/macrophage through activating CTRP3 via sponging miR-186-5p.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is characterized by a compromised cochlear perception of sound waves. Major risk factors for SNHL include genetic mutations, exposure to noise, ototoxic medications, and the aging process. Previous research has demonstrated that inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy, which are detrimental to inner ear cells, contribute to the pathogenesis of SNHL; however, the precise mechanisms remain inadequately understood.

Nephrotoxicity remains a significant concern associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as dasatinib (DASA). Previous studies have shown that DASA can induce renal tubular cell death, contributing to its nephrotoxic effects. In contrast, naringenin (NGN) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Receptor-interacting protein 3 (Ripk3) plays a crucial part in acute lung injury (ALI) by regulating inflammation-induced endothelial damage in the lung tissue. The precise mechanisms through which Ripk3 contributes to the endothelial injury in ALI still remain uncertain. In the current research, we employed Ripk3-deficient (Ripk3) mice to examine the role of Ripk3 in ALI progression, focusing on its effects on endothelial cells (ECs), mitochondrial damage and necroptosis.
