Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to study the association between rs12976445 polymorphism and the incidence of IA re-bleeding. Genotype and allele frequency analysis was performed to study the association between rs12976445 polymorphism and the risk of IA re-bleeding. Western blot, ELISA and real-time RT-PCR were conducted to measure the relative expression of miR-125a, ET1 mRNA and ET1 protein. Computational analysis and luciferase assays were utilized to investigate the association between the expression of miR-125a and ET1 mRNA. No significant differences were observed between IA patients with or without symptoms of re-bleeding. Subsequent analyses indicated that the T allele was significantly associated with the reduced risk of IA re-bleeding. In patients carrying the CC genotype, miR-125a level was up-regulated while ET1 mRNA/protein levels were reduced compared with those in patients carrying the CT or TT genotype. And ET1 mRNA was identified as a virtual target gene of miR-125a with a potential miR-125a binding site located on its 3’UTR. Accordingly, the ET mRNA/protein levels could be suppressed by the transfection of miR-125a precursors, but the transfection of ET1 siRNA exhibited no effect on the expression of miR-125a. Therefore, an increased level of miR-125a can lead to the increased risk of IA re-bleeding. Since miR-125a level is higher in CC-genotyped patients, it can be concluded that the presence of T allele in the rs12976445 polymorphism is associated with a lower risk of IA re-bleeding, and miR-125a may be used as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target for IA rupture.
