MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate the modulation of the phenotype of Schwann cells. Numerous novel miRNAs have been discovered and identified in rat sciatic nerve segments, including miR-3099. In the current study, miR-3099 expression levels following peripheral nerve injury were measured in the proximal stumps of rat sciatic nerves after surgical crush. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to determine miR-3099 expression in the crushed nerve segment at 0, 1, 4, 7, and 14 days post sciatic nerve injury, which was consistent with Solexa sequencing outcomes. Expression of miR-3099 was up-regulated following peripheral nerve injury. EdU and transwell chamber assays were used to observe the effect of miR-3099 on Schwann cell proliferation and migration. The results showed that increased miR-3099 expression promoted the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells. However, reduced miR-3099 expression suppressed the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells. The potential target genes of miR-3099 were also investigated by bioinformatic tools and high-throughput outcomes. miR-3099 targets genes Aqp4, St8sia2, Tnfsf15, and Zbtb16 and affects the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells. This study examined the levels of miR-3099 at different time points following peripheral nerve injury. Our results confirmed that increased miR-3099 level induced by peripheral nerve injury can promote the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells. |
