Inhibition of miRNA-21 promotes retinal ganglion cell survival and visual function by modulating Müller cell gliosis after optic nerve crush.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Müller cell gliosis not only plays an important physiological role by maintaining retinal neuronal homeostasis but is also associated with multiple pathological events in the retina, including optic nerve crush (ONC) injury. Modulating Müller cell gliosis contributes to the creation of a permissive environment for neuronal survival. However, the underlying mechanism of Müller cell gliosis has remained elusive. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the underlying mechanism of Müller cell gliosis after ONC. METHODS:Rats with ONC injury were transfected with miRNA-21 (miR-21) agomir (overexpressing miR-21) or antagomir (inhibiting miR-21) via intravitreous injection. Immunofluorescence and western blotting were performed to confirm the effects of miR-21 on Müller cell gliosis. The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was measured using optical coherence tomography and the positive scotopic threshold response (pSTR) was recorded using electroretinogram. RESULTS:In the acute phase (14 days) after ONC, compared with the crushed group, inhibiting miR-21 promoted Müller cell gliosis, exhibiting thicker processes and increased GFAP expression. In the chronic phase (35 days), inhibiting miR-21 ameliorated Müller cell gliosis, which exhibited thicker and denser processes and increased GFAP expression. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) counts in retinas showed that the number of surviving RGCs increased significantly in the antagomir group. The thickness of the RNFL increased significantly, and pSTR showed significant preservation of the amplitudes in the antagomir group. CONCLUSIONS:Inhibition of miR-21 promotes RGC survival, RNFL thickness and the recovery of RGC function by modulating Müller cell gliosis after ONC.
