  • Abstract:Objective:This study aimed to explore whether the regulatory effect of miR-21 on α-synuclein expression in neurons is a potential mechanism by which geniopside (GP) protects the central nervous system from Parkinson disease (PD). Methods:The human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y was induced to differentiate in vitro and treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium iodide (MPP(+)), and MPP(+) together with GP. To identify the role of miR-21 in the regulation of lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2A) and α-synuclein, SH-SY5Y cells pretreated with MPP(+) were transfected with miR-21 mimic and miR-21 inhibitor. To identify whether GP could reduce the level of α-synuclein through miR-21/LAMP2A, SHSY5Y cells pretreated with GP were treated with miR-21 mimic or miR-21 inhibitor; meanwhile, a luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the direct target of miR-21. LAMP2A was overexpressed using a pCMV6-XL5-LAMP2A vector to confirm the role of LAMP2A in the regulation of α-synuclein by miR-21. In these in vitro experiments, the RNA and/or protein expressions of miR-21, LAMP2A, and α-synuclein in SH-SY5Y cells were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and/or western blotting, respectively. An in vivo PD mouse model was established through intraperitoneal injection with N-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The mice were treated with saline, MPTP, MPTP+GP, and MPTP+GP+miR-21 agomir. The numbers of TH(+) cells in the substantia nigra in different groups of mice were compared. The RNA and/or protein expressions of miR-21, LAMP2A, and α-synuclein were also determined. Results:The level of miR-21 in the cells or mice models was significantly higher than that in normal cells or normal mice, respectively, and GP significantly downregulated miR-21. GP also raised the protein and mRNA expressions of LAMP2A and reduced the protein level of α-synuclein in PD models. MiR-21 upregulated the expression of α-synuclein by directly targeting 3＇ UTR of LAMP2A. LAMP2A overexpression abolished the upregulating effect of miR-21 mimic on α-synuclein. MiR-21 mimics/agomir reversed the GP-induced downregulation of α-synuclein; miR-21 inhibitor effectively increased the downregulation of α-synuclein caused by GP. Conclusion:GP exhibits neuroprotective properties by inhibiting α-synuclein expression in PD models through the miR-21/LAMP2A axis.
