Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent type of neurodegenerative disorder. AVE0991, a non-peptide analogue of Ang-(1-7), by which the progression of PD has been discovered to be ameliorated, but the specific mechanism whereby AVE0991 modulates the progression of PD re-mains unclear. The mice overexpressing human α-syn (A53T) were established to simulate PD pathology, and we also constructed an in vitro model of mouse dopaminergic neurons overexpressing hα-syn (A53T). The [F] FDG-PET/CT method was employed to assess FDG uptake in human α-syn (A53T) overexpressing mice. Levels of lnc HOTAIRM1 and miR-223-3p were detected via qRT-PCR. Flow cytometry was deployed to assay cell apoptosis. Here, we found that AVE0991 improved behaviour disorders and decreased α-syn expression in the substantia nigra of mice with Parkinson's disease. AVE0991 inhibited the apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons overexpressing hα-syn (A53T) via lncRNA HOTAIRM1. MiR-223-3p binds to HOTAIRM1 as a ceRNA and directly targets α-syn. Moreover, miR-223-3p level in peripheral blood was found negatively correlated with the α-syn. Our present study shows that the angiotensin-(1-7) analogue AVE0991 targeted at the HOTAIRM1/miR-223-3p axis to degrade α-synuclein in PD mice, and showed neuroprotection in vitro.
