Abstract
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for approximately 5% of all cases of stroke. SAH is correlated with elevated rates of mortality and disability. Despite significant advancements in comprehending the pathogenesis and surgical management, efficacious clinical interventions remain restricted, and the prognosis is yet to be enhanced. MicroRNAs play a crucial role in various pathological processes in organisms. Revealing these regulatory processes is conducive to the development of new treatment methods. MicroRNA-124 is highly expressed in the nervous system and has significant research value for SAH. This study aims to explore the role of miR-124 in the early post-SAH period on neural function and verify whether it is involved in the pathological and physiological processes of SAH. In this study, we used methods such as comparing the expression levels of miR-124 in cerebrospinal fluid, establishing a rat SAH model, and a mouse embryonic primary neuron hemoglobin stimulation model to verify the downstream proteins of miR-124 in SAH. Through transfection techniques, we adjusted the expression of this small RNA in Vitro and in Vivo models using miR-124 inhibitor and mimic in the primary neuron hemoglobin stimulation model and rat SAH model, and observed the phenotype. Finally, by consulting the literature and verifying in Vivo and in Vitro methods, AK4 and downstream molecule ATF3 were identified as downstream targets of miR-124.
