Neuroprotective Role of Exogenous Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Hypoxia-Hypoglycemia-Induced Hippocampal Neuron Injury via Regulating Trkb/MiR134 Signaling

Abstract

Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is an important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been reported to play a neuroprotective role in hypoxic-ischemic brain injury; however, the specific effects and mechanism of BDNF on hypoxic-hypoglycemic hippocampal neuron injury remains unknown. The current study investigated the action of BDNF in regulating cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury by simulating hippocampal neuron ischemia and hypoxia. We found that BDNF, p-Trkb, and miR-134 expression levels decreased, and that exogenous BDNF increased survival and reduced apoptosis in hypoxic-hypoglycemic hippocampal neurons. The results also show that BDNF inhibits MiR-134 expression by activating the TrkB pathway. Transfection with TrkB siRNA and pre-miR-134 abrogated the neuroprotective role of BDNF in hypoxic-hypoglycemic hippocampal neurons. Our results suggest that exogenous BDNF alleviates hypoxic-ischemic brain injury through the Trkb/MiR-134 pathway. These findings may help to identify a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Keywords: BDNF; Hypoxic–ischemic brain injury; TrkB; hippocampal neuron; miR-134.
