MiR-483-5p downregulation alleviates ox-LDL induced endothelial cell injury in atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In light of the abnormal expression of microRNA (miR-483-5p) in patients with atherosclerosis (AS), its role in vascular endothelial cell injury was explored. And the mechanisms related to autophagy were also elucidated.

Methods

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were given 100 mg/L ox-LDL to induce endothelial injury. Cell transfection was done to regulate miR-483-5p levels. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected. qRT-PCR was employed for the mRNA levels' detection.

Results

Autophagic flux impairment of HUVECs was detected after ox-LDL treatment, along with the upregulation of miR-483-5p. Ox-LDL inhibited cell viability and promoted cell apoptosis, but these influences were changed by miR-483-5p downregulation. MiR-483-5p downregulation decreased the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. 3-MA, the autophagy inhibitor, reversed the beneficial role of miR-483-5p downregulation in ox-LDL-induced HUVECs' injury. TIMP2 acts as a target gene of miR-483-5p, and was downregulated in HUVEC models.

Conclusion

MiR-483-5p downregulation alleviated ox-LDL-induced endothelial injury via activating autophagy, this might be related to TIMP2.

Project description:Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. LncRNA OIP5 antisense RNA 1 (OIP5-AS1) has been found to be associated with the development of atherosclerosis. In this study, we further investigated the molecular basis of OIP5-AS1 in atherosclerosis pathogenesis. Methods: Oxidative low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was used to treat human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The levels of OIP5-AS1, miR-135a-5p, and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot. Cell viability, migration, and apoptosis were evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell, and flow cytometry, respectively. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Targeted interactions among OIP5-AS1, miR-135a-5p, and KLF5 were confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Animal studies were performed to assess the role of OIP5-AS1 in atherosclerosis progression in vivo. Results: Our data showed the significant upregulation of OIP5-AS1 in atherosclerosis serum and ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs. The silencing of OIP5-AS1 protected against ox-LDL-triggered cytotoxicity in HUVECs and diminished lipids secretion in ApoE-/- mice. Moreover, OIP5-AS1 functioned as a molecular sponge of miR-135a-5p, and miR-135a-5p was a functional mediator of OIP5-AS1 in regulating ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury. KLF5 was a direct target of miR-135a-5p, and the increased expression of miR-135a-5p alleviated ox-LDL-induced cytotoxicity by downregulating KLF5. Furthermore, OIP5-AS1 influenced KLF5 expression through sponging miR-135a-5p. Conclusion: The current work identified that the silencing of OIP5-AS1 protected against ox-LDL-triggered cytotoxicity in HUVECs at least in part by influencing KLF5 expression via acting as a miR-135a-5p sponge.
