The regulation mechanism of shRNAspten to NR2B after neuron subjected to anoxia insult
Objective:To investigate the regulation of PTEN with RNAi on NR2B after OGD.Methods:In the OGD model with anaerobic gas mixture and deoxygenated
glucose-free extracellular solution
shRNAspten-GFP and unrelated control plasmid PshGFP transfection were done respectively.The quantities of NR2B in the neuronal membrane were quantitatively measured with colorimetric assay
and the expression of NR2B mRNA were analyzed by RT-PCR.The neuronal activity was analyzed by AlamarBlue andintracellular free calcium concentration were measured with Fura-2 AM by laser confocal microscope(LCM).Results:shRNAspten-GFP plasmid can been expressed successfully in cultured neurons.The study demonstrated that there are numerous NR2B subunit expression on neuronal membrane by colorimetric assay(OPD)assay and RT-PCR.The expression and quantity of neuronal NR2B with shRNAspten-GFP treatment was significantly decrease after oxygen and glucose deprivation(OGD)and reperfusion(P<0.05).The neuronal activity with shRNAspten-GFP treatment after OGD was significantly higher than that of PshGFP group(P<0.05).But intracellular free calcium concentration with shRNAspten-GFP treatment after OGD was significantly lower than that in OGD group and PshGFP group(P<0.05).Conclusion:PTEN down-regulation could effectively decrease NR2B expression level induced by OGD
and then block Ca2+influx and increase neuronal activity
