The purpose of this work is to investigate the function of SNHG1, a long non-coding RNA implicated in disease progression, apoptosis, and proliferation, in order to solve the problem of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in newborn care. We investigated the impact of overexpressing SNHG1 on hypoxia-induced apoptosis and studied its expression in BV2 microglial cells under hypoxic circumstances. As a result of modifying YY1 expression, SNHG1′s overexpression prevents apoptosis, as our data demonstrate that it is considerably downregulated under hypoxia. We demonstrate that SNHG1 might potentially reduce microglial ischemia-reperfusion damage by using sophisticated nanoengineering drug delivery technologies to target it. This provides encouraging information for the therapy of ischemic epilepsy.
