MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are involved in phenotype modulation of neural cells after peripheral nerve injury. The effects of miRNAs on the survival of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, however, have not yet been well understood. In this study, microarray profiling indicated that 13 miRNAs were differentially expressed in rat DRGs (L4-L6) during the initial 7 d period post sciatic nerve transection, and that the expressions of miR-21 and miR-222 (2 out of the 13 miRNAs) were continually increased over the time period. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3), a pro-apoptotic protein in various cancer cells, was identified as a common target of miR-21 and miR-222. Over-expression of miR-21 and miR-222 inhibited cell apoptosis and enhanced cell viability in cultured DRG neurons. IL-6 could induce up-regulation of miR-21 expression. All the results showed that miR-21 and miR-222 inhibited neuronal apoptosis at least partially through suppressing TIMP3 after peripheral nerve injury. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
