Popis: | Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by microglia activation that leads to neuroinflammation. Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is known to exert neuroprotective effects on neurodegenerative diseases. This study sought to analyse the role and mechanism of HSF1 in PD-induced neuroinflammation. The PD mouse models were established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Animal behaviour capacities and neuronal damage were assessed via behavioural tests, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) staining, and immunofluorescence. Levels of HSF1, miR-214-3p, nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATc2), and neuroinflammatory factors were detected via RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and ELISA.Binding relationships between HSF1 and miR-214-3p, miR-214-3p, and NFATc2 were tested via dual-luciferase or chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Functional rescue experiments were designed to confirm the roles of miR-214-3p and NFATc2. HSF1 expression in brain tissues was downregulated upon MPTP treatment. HSF1 overexpression reduced motor deficits and loss of dopaminergic neurons, increased TH-positive neurons, and repressed neuroinflammation and micro-glia activation. Mechanically, HSF1 bound to the miR-214-3p promoter to increase its expression and inhibited NFATc2 transcription. miR-214-3p downregulation or NFATc2 overexpression reversed the inhibition of HSF1 overexpression on neuroinflammation and microglia activation. Overall, our findings unveiled the therapeutic role of HSF1 in PD-induced neuroinflammation and microglia activation via regulating miR-214-3p and NFATc2. |
