Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated that PUMA was involved in the microglial migration induced by methamphetamine. PUMA expression was examined by western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. BV2 and HAPI cells were pretreated with a sigma-1R antagonist and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK), and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt inhibitors, and PUMA expression was detected by western blotting. The cell migration in BV2 and HAPI cells transfected with a lentivirus encoding red fluorescent protein (LV-RFP) was also examined using a wound-healing assay and nested matrix model and cell migration assay respectively. The molecular mechanisms of PUMA in microglial migration were validated using a siRNA approach. The exposure of BV2 and HAPI cells to methamphetamine increased the expression of PUMA, reactive oxygen species (ROS), the MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways and the downstream transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways. PUMA knockdown in microglia transfected with PUMA siRNA attenuated the increased cell migration induced by methamphetamine, thereby implicating PUMA in the migration of BV2 and HAPI cells. This study demonstrated that methamphetamine-induced microglial migration involved PUMA up-regulation. Targeting PUMA could provide insights into the development of a potential therapeutic approach for the alleviation of microglia migration induced by methamphetamine.
