MALAT1 expression in GSCs, EVs, and the supernatant was detected by real-time PCR. The direct targeting between MALAT1 and miR-129-5p, miR-129-5p and HMGB1 were tested with luciferase reporter analysis. The expression and secretion of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia or miR-129-5p inhibitor transferred microglia exposing to GSCs EVs or EVs derived from siMALAT1 pre-transferred GSCs. MALAT1 was enriched in GSCs EVs compared with GSCs and up-regulated MALAT1 was also observed in microglia upon GSCs EVs incubation. The relative expression and secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia were up-regulated in GSCs supernatant group, which could be reversed by DMA (EVs secretion inhibitor) co-administration or si-MALAT1 pre-transfection of GSCs. Luciferase reporter assay testified the direct binding of MALAT1 and miR-129-5p, miR-129-5p and HMGB1, and si-MALAT1 could up-regulate miR-129-5p expression and down-regulate HMGB1 expression in microglia cells. The concentration of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia exposing to EVs from siMALAT1 transfected GSCs could be up-regulated by miR-129-5p inhibition. EVs lncRNA MALAT1 released from GSCs could modulate the inflammatory response of microglia after lipopolysaccharide stimulation through regulating miR-129-5p/HMGB1 axis.
