ABSTRACT: Objective To explore the mechanism of lncRNA-p21 regulating the apoptosis of cerebral smooth muscle cells (SMCs) involved in the occurrence and development of cerebral atherosclerosis. Methods We selected 30 subjects receiving physical checkup and 30 patients with cerebrovascular atherosclerosis in our hospital. The content of lncRNA-p21 in serum was detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The rat model of cerebral atherosclerosis was established. The pathological changes of rat brain were observed by HE staining. The content of lncRNA-p21 in brain tissue was detected by RT-PCR; Western blot was used to detect the expressions of mTOR, anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Vascular smooth muscle cells (BVSMCs) were stimulated with ox-LDL to establish atherosclerosis model of vascular SMCs. lncRNA-p21 was overexpressed or inhibited. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL. The Caspase-3 activity assay kit was used to detect the expression of Caspase-3. Western Blot was used to detect the expressions of mTOR, anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Results The expression of lncRNA-p21 was significantly decreased in patients with cerebral atherosclerosis and model group rats (P<0.05). HE staining showed that the decrease of lncRNA-p21 could contribute to the pathological changes of rat brain tissue accompanied by increased activity of Caspase-3, decreased expressions of Bcl-2 and mTOR protein and increased expression of Bax protein (P<0.05). Flow cytometry and TUNEL showed that overexpression of lncRNA-p21 could reduce the apoptosis of BVSMCs, inhibiting lncRNA-p21 could promote the apoptosis of BVSMCs (P<0.05). In VSMCs, lncRNA-p21 was overexpressed, Caspase-3 activity decreased, Bcl-2, mTOR protein expression %K lncRNA-p21 %K 脑动脉粥样硬化 %K mTOR %K 凋亡
