Deneysel spinal kord yaralanmasında miR-20a ve miR-125b ekspresyonlarının apopitoz ve enflamasyon üzerine etkileri

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the relationships between microRNA-20a and microRNA-125b expression and apoptosis and inflammation in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI) using microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and molecular biology. Methods: Sixty-one rats were divided into three groups: a control group that was not subjected to any operation; a sham-operated group; and an experimental group that was subjected to spinal cord compression. The experimental group was further subdivided into two subgroups: the experimental control group, which did not receive any drug treatment; and the methylprednisolone treatment group, which received 30 mg/kg methylprednisolone on day 0 followed by 10 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone from days 1-14.
