Inhibition of miR-20a promotes neural stem cell survival under oxidative stress conditions by Ivan Arzhanov, Ivan Arzhanov, Ruslan A. Klassen, Ruslan A. Klassen, Lukas Valihrach, Nataliya Romanyuk

“…Apoptotic responses and miR-20a expression levels were assessed via flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, and Western blot analysis.ResultsNSCs exposed to OS showed a marked reduction in metabolic activity. However, treatment with a miR-20a inhibitor over 72 h significantly improved cell survival and metabolic activity in a time-dependent manner compared to untreated stressed cells.DiscussionOur findings suggest that miR-20a inhibition mitigates OS-induced cytotoxicity and promotes NSC viability, presenting a potential therapeutic approach for enhancing neural tissue regeneration.…”
