Transient focal ischemia decreased microRNA-7 (miR-7) levels, leading to derepression of its major target α-synuclein (α-Syn) that promotes secondary brain damage. Circular RNA CDR1as is known to regulate miR-7 abundance and function. Hence, we currently evaluated its functional significance after focal ischemia. Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in adult mice significantly downregulated both CDR1as and miR-7 levels in the peri-infarct cortex between 3 and 72 h of reperfusion. Interestingly, neither pri-miR-7a nor 7b was altered in the ischemic brain. Intracerebral injection of an AAV9 vector containing a CDR1as gene significantly increased CDR1as levels by 21 days that persisted up to 4 months without inducing any observable toxicity in both sham and MCAO groups. Following transient MCAO, there was a significant increase in miR-7 levels and CDR1as binding to Ago2/miR-7 in the peri-infarct cortex of AAV9-CDR1as cohort compared with AAV9-Control cohort at 1 day of reperfusion. CDR1as overexpression significantly suppressed post-stroke α-Syn protein induction, promoted motor function recovery, decreased infarct size, and curtailed the markers of apoptosis, autophagy mitochondrial fragmentation, and inflammation in the post-stroke brain compared with AAV9-Control-treated cohort. Overall, our findings imply that CDR1as reconstitution is neuroprotective after stroke, probably by protecting miR-7 and preventing α-Syn-mediated neuronal death.
