Abstract— Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays an important role in cerebral ischemiareperfusion injury (CIRI) by regulating apoptosis. Although the role of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 in CIRI has been reported, the specific mechanism is still unclear. In this paper, the regulation of ERS by LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in CIRI and its mechanism were studied. Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model was established in SD rats with KCNQ1OT1 intervention. PC12 cells were used to construct the OGD/R cell model. The expressions of LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-30b were detected by RT-qPCR. TCC staining was used to detect the extent of cerebral ischemia. TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis level, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of ERS and apoptosis-related proteins. The targeted binding of LncRNA KCNQ1OT1, miR-30b, and GRP78 was detected by double luciferase assay. The expressions of LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-30b were interfered by cell transfection. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8. The level of LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 was increased and that of miR-30b was decreased in the blood samples of patients with CIRI. In tMCAO rats with KCNQ1OT1 intervention, the expression of miR-30b was increased, and the ischemic range of brain tissues was decreased. What’s more, the level of ERS was decreased, and the apoptosis of brain tissues was decreased. LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 could regulate miR-30b/GRP78 in OGD/R cells in a targeted way. Intervention of KCNQ1OT1 could promote the proliferation of OGD/R cells, inhibiting the level of ERS and cell apoptosis. Further inhibition of miR-30b could reverse the effect of intervention of KCNQ1OT1. LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 regulates ERS to affect CIRI through targeting miR-30b/GRP78. KEY WORDS: LncRNA KCNQ1OT1; endoplasmic reticulum stress; cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury; miR30b; GRP78.

After a certain period of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, the restoration of blood perfusion will aggravate the original structural and functional damage, or even lead to more serious complications. This process is called cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI). CIRI afflicts about 15
