Bioinformatics and dual-luciferase assays confirmed miR-511-3p - AKT3 interaction. Oxygen-glucose deprivation\/reoxygenation (OGD\/R) established a stroke inflammatory cell model. Inflammatory cytokines were measured via ELISA. RT-qPCR detected miR-511-3p, AKT3, and USP8 expressions. Correlation analysis and risk factor analysis were performed using Pearson correlation and logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study found that AKT3 was a direct target of miR-511-3p. In the neural inflammation cell model, miR-511-3p could regulate the expression of AKT3\/USP8; miR-511-3p\/AKT3\/USP8 could regulate the inflammatory response in the inflammatory cell model. In the serum of PSCI patients, the expression of miR-511-3p and USP8 were decreased, while the expressions of AKT3 was increased, and all three were associated with the inflammatory factors of the patients. Logistic regression analysis showed that low expression of miR-511-3p and USP8 were independent risk factors for PSCI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
