Chlorogenic Acid Prevents Microglia-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress under Hypoxia-Ischemia Environment by Regulating the MIR497HG/miR-29b-3p/SIRT1 Axis

Abstract

Background. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. CGA has been shown to improve neuroinflammation. This study is aimed at elucidating the exact mechanism by which CGA reduces neuroinflammation. Methods. Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) was utilized to treat BV2 microglia and HT-22 hippocampal neurons to engineer an in vitro model of hypoxic ischemia reperfusion. The levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10) and oxidative stress factors (MDA, SOD, and GSH-PX) in microglia were determined by ELISA kits. The neuron proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay, and LDH kit was used to determine LDH release in neurons. The fluorescent dye DCF-DA was employed to measure ROS levels in neurons. Correlation of MIR497HG, miR-29b-3p, and SIRT1/NF-κB in neurons and microglia was determined by qRT-PCR. Expressions of inflammatory proteins (COX2, iNOS), oxidative stress pathways (Nrf2, HO-1), and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax, caspase3, caspase8, and caspase9) in microglia or neurons were determined by western blot. The interactions between MIR497HG and miR-29b-3p, as well as between miR-29b-3p and SIRT1, were determined by dual luciferase assay and RIP assay. Results. CGA attenuated OGD-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress in microglia and inhibited microglia-mediated neuronal apoptosis. CGA increased the levels of MIR497HG and SIRT1 and suppressed the levels of miR-29b-3p in BV2 and HT-22 cells. MIR497HG knockdown, miR-29b-3p upregulation, and SIRT1 inhibition inhibited CGA-mediated anti-inflammatory and neuronal protective functions. There is a targeting correlation between MIR497HG, miR-29b-3p, and Sirt1. MIR497HG sponges miR-29b-3p to regulate SIRT1 expression in an indirect manner. Conclusion. CGA upregulates MIR497HG to curb miR-29b-3p expression, hence initiating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway and repressing OGD-elicited inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuron apoptosis.

“…Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. CGA initiated the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway and inhibited OGD/R-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis by upregulating MIR497HG to suppress miR-29b-3p expression (60). Naringin (NAR) is a natural flavone contained in citrus fruits and grapefruit, which has a lot of pharmacological activities.…”

The Epigenetic Effects of Coffee

“…In addition to alcohol, another component of coffee, CGA, was found to reduce the damage caused by hypoxic ischemia reperfusion in brain cells. In 2022, using hypoxic ischemia reperfusion cells as the model, Fan et al found that CGA upregulated MIR497HG which targeted and repressed miR-29b-3p expression, and then upregulated sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) to initiate the SIRT1/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, leading to a decrease in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuron apoptosis elicited by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in cells [ 54 ].…”
