BACKGROUND
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to be involved in central nervous system (CNS) diseases and to have a close connection with neuronal development. However, the role of circRNAs in neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and the treatment of ischaemic stroke remains unknown.
METHODS
Ischaemic stroke was induced in mice using transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). NSCs were transducted with circHIPK2 siRNA (si-circHIPK2-NSCs) or vehicle control (si-circCon-NSCs) and microinjected into lateral ventricle of brain at 7 d post-tMCAO. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to detect brain damage, and functional deficits were evaluated with sensorimotor behavioural tests. The distribution of the transplanted NSCs was investigated by near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIF) and immunofluorescence. The neural plasticity of si-circHIPK2-NSCs was verified by western blot and immunofluorescence in vivo and in vitro.
FINDINGS
We investigated the role of circHIPK2 in NCS differentiation. In vitro, silencing of circHIPK2 facilitated NSCs directionally differentiated to neurons but had no effect on the differentiation to astrocytes. In vivo, microinjected NSCs could migrate to the ischaemic hemisphere after stroke induction. Si-circHIPK2-NSCs increased neuronal plasticity in the ischaemic brain, conferred long-lasting neuroprotection, and significantly reduced functional deficits.
INTERPRETATIONS
Si-circHIPK2 regulates NSC differentiation, and microinjection of si-circHIPK2-NSCs exhibits a promising therapeutic strategy to neuroprotection and functional recovery after stroke.
