BackgroundSpinal cord ischemia is a serious injury that threatens human health and life. Furthermore, it was widely accepted that miR-136 was mediated in the spinal injury, while whether it regulated neurocytes apoptosis in I/R-induced spinal cord injury remains unclear.MethodsSpinal cord ischemia injury (SCII) rats were induced by clamping the nontraumatic vascular clip on the abdominal aorta. Real-time PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA expression, and western blot was carried out to measure protein expression. TUNEL assay was used to measure cell apoptosis.ResultsMiR-136 was up-regulated, while Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP3) was down-regulated in both SCII rats and hypoxic neurocytes. MiR-136 overexpression protected neurocytes against injury that induced by hypoxia. TIMP3 was the target gene of miR-136. Hypoxia supplementation decreased the expression of miR-136, promoted TIMP3 expression, and urged cell apoptosis, cells transfected with miR-136 mimic reversed the effect that induced by hypoxia, while cells co-transfected with pcDNA-TIMP3 abolished the results that induced by overexpressed miR-136.ConclusionMiR-136 regulated neurocytes apoptosis of SCII by mediating TIMP3.
