Abstract

Clinical application of local anesthetic reagent, liposomal bupivacaine (BUP), may cause irreversible damage to human nerve system. In this study, we explored the functional role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 16 (SNHG16) in BUP-induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with BUP in vitro, whose dose-dependent effects on cell viability and SNHG16 expression were explored. SNHG16 was upregulated in SH-SY5Y cells. The protection of SNHG16 upregulation on BUP-induced neurotoxicity was examined by viability assay, apoptosis assay, and caspase activity assay, respectively. The endogenously competing target of SNHG16, human mature microRNA-132-3p (hsa-miR-132-3p), was explored by dual-luciferase assay and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Hsa-miR-132-3p was then further overexpressed in SNHG16-upregulated SH-SY5Y cells to explore its functional role in BUP-induced neurotoxicity. BUP induced dose-dependent cell death and SNHG16 downregulation in SH-SY5Y cells. Inversely, lentivirus-mediated SNHG16 upregulation mitigated cell death. In addition, SNHG16 upregulation rescued BUP-induced apoptosis and caspase 3/7 augmentation. Hsa-miR-132-3p was found to be reversely expressed with SNHG16 in BUP-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Overexpressing hsa-miR-132-3p reduced the protection of SNHG16 on BUP-induced neurotoxicity. We demonstrated that epigenetic axis of SNHG16/hsa-miR-132-3p had a functional role in regulating anesthesia-induced neurotoxicity in human lineage neural cells.
