ABSTRACT
Prolonged
or high-dose exposure to anaesthetics, such as propofol, can cause
brain cell degeneration and subsequent long-term learning or memory
deficits, particularly in the developing brain. However, the cellular
and molecular mechanisms underlying the deleterious effects of propofol
at certain stages of development remain unclear. Here we found that
propofol inhibited the proliferation, neuronal differentiation, and
migration of NSCs while upregulating miR-141-3p. Silencing of miR-141-3p
abrogated the effects of propofol on NSC neurogenesis. Propofol
treatment downregulated IGF2BP2, a direct target of miR-141-3p, whereas
overexpression of IGF2BP2 attenuated the effects of propofol and
miR-141-3p on NSC neurogenesis. In short, propofol inhibits NSC
neurogenesis via a mechanism involving the miR-141-3p/IGF2BP2 axis. Our
results may provide a potential approach for preventing the
neurodegenerative effects of propofol in the developing brain.
