Dexmedetomidine Protects PC12 Cells from Lidocaine-Induced Cytotoxicity Through Downregulation of COL3A1 Mediated by miR-let-7b

Abstract: Safety concerns of some local anesthetics, such as lidocaine, have been raised in recent years due to potential neurological impairment. Dexmedetomidine may protect humans from neurotoxicity, and miR-let-7b is activated by nerve injury; however, the roles of miR-let-7b and its target gene in lidocaine-induced cytotoxicity are not well known. Through bioinformatics and a luciferase reporter assay, COL3A1 was suggested as a direct target gene of miR-let-7b. Here, we confirmed by measuring mRNA and protein levels… Show more

“…In response to lidocaine treatment, the cells expressed different miRNAs patterns, possibly via which lidocaine exerted its specific function [24,25]. To date, several miRNAs have been mentioned as the effector genes of lidocaine, such as miR-520-3p [22], miR-493 [26], and miR-let-7b [27]. Herein, miR-539 was first found to be an effector miRNA of lidocaine.…”

“…Many reports have noted other possible applications including use as a protective agent against ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury in various organs [10,11], including heart [12], kidney [13], brain [14], lung [15], liver [16], and even retina [17]. Only three studies have addressed the roles of miRNAs in mechanisms of organ protection [14,18,19]. Moreover, no clinical trials have focused on miRNA expression profiling after administration of dexmedetomidine, and there are no studies on the effects of dexmedetomidine on circulating miRNAs.…”

“…Previous work further illustrated the targeting relationship between miRNA and collagen in breast cancer [10]. Interestingly, through bioinformatics and a dual luciferase reporter gene assay, COL3A1 was suggested as a direct target of let-7b in neuronal injury [11]. Collagen was reported to be active in numerous biological processes in cancers [12].…”
