Abstract
The abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA) has been implicated in the development of many human diseases, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, the role and mechanism of circ_0029941 in AIS progression remain unclear. Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) was constructed to mimic AIS mice model, and oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced astrocytes were used to mimic AIS cell model. The expression of circ_0029941, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A-III (EIF4A3), microRNA (miR)-224-5p and nuclear factor activated T cell 5 (NFAT5) were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining was used to evaluate infarct size in mice, and immunostaining was performed to confirm GFAP, MAP1LC3B, and NFAT5 levels. Protein expression was tested by western blot analysis, and FISH was used for co-location. The interaction between circ_0029941 and miR-224-5p was verified by RIP and RNA pull-down assays. And the interaction between miR-224-5p and NFAT5 was confirmed by RIP and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Circ_0029941 had elevated expression in AIS patients, tMCAO models and OGD/R-induced astrocytes. Knockdown of circ_0029941 alleviated brain infarction in tMCAO mice. Also, circ_0029941 knockdown inhibited astrocyte activation and ATG5-mediated autophagy. In addition, EIF4A3 promoted circ_0029941 level, and circ_0029941 sponged miR-224-5p to regulate NFAT5. Besides, miR-224-5p inhibitor or NFAT5 overexpression reversed the inhibition effect of circ_0029941 knockdown on astrocyte activation and autophagy. In addition, antagomiR-224-5p also abolished the relieving effect of circ_0029941 knockdown on brain infarction of tMCAO mice. EIF4A3-induced circ_0029941 promoted astrocyte activation and autophagy through regulating the miR-224-5p/NFAT5 axis.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
