Knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 alleviates myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury in diabetic mice via modulating miR-204-3p and inhibiting autophagy.

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed at investigating the effects of lncRNA AK139328 on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) in diabetic mice. Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) model was constructed in normal mice (NM) and diabetic mice (DM). Microarray analysis was utilized to identify lncRNA AK139328 overexpressed in DM after myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (MI/R). RT-qPCR assay was utilized to investigate the expressions of lncRNA AK139328 and miR-204-3p in cardiomyocyte and tissues. Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractioning shortening (FS) were obtained by transthoracic echocardiography. Haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining were utilized to detect the damage of myocardial tissues degradation of myocardial fibres and integrity of myocardial collagen fibres. Evans Blue/TTC staining was used to determine the myocardial infarct size. TUNEL staining was utilized to investigate cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The targeted relationship between lncRNA AK139328 and miR-204-3p was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. MTT assay was used for analysis of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Western blot was utilized to investigate the expression of alpha smooth muscle actin (?-SMA), Atg7, Atg5, LC3-II/LC3-I and p62 marking autophagy. Knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 relieved myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury in DM and inhibited cardiomyocyte autophagy as well as apoptosis of DM. LncRNA AK139328 modulated miR-204-3p directly. MiR-204-3p and knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 relieved hypoxia/reoxygenation injury via inhibiting cardiomyocyte autophagy. Silencing lncRNA AK139328 significantly increased miR-204-3p expression and inhibited cardiomyocyte autophagy, thereby attenuating MIRI in DM.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes after acute myocardial infarction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying MI/R injury are unclear. This study investigated the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Oip5-as1 in regulating mitochondria-mediated apoptosis during MI/R injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to MI/R induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion. H9c2 cells were incubated under oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) conditions to mimic in vivo MI/R. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to evaluate gene and protein levels. CCK-8 assay, biochemical assay and flow cytometric analysis were performed to assess the function of Oip5-as1. The dual-luciferase gene reporter assay and RIP assay were conducted as needed. RESULTS:Oip5-as1 expression was downregulated in the hearts of rats with MI/R and in H9c2 cells treated with OGD/R. Oip5-as1 overexpression alleviated reactive oxygen species-driven mitochondrial injury and consequently decreased apoptosis in MI/R rats and H9c2 cells exposed to OGD/R. Mechanistically, Oip5-as1 acted as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-29a and thus decreased its expression. Inhibition of miR-29a reduced the oxidative stress and cytotoxicity induced by OGD/R. Overexpression of miR-29a reversed the anti-apoptotic effect of Oip5-as1 in H9c2 cells treated with OGD/R. Further experiments identified SIRT1 as a downstream target of miR-29a. Oip5-as1 upregulated SIRT1 expression and activated the AMPK/PGC1α pathway by targeting miR-29a, thus reducing the apoptosis triggered by OGD/R. However, these effects were reversed by a selective SIRT1 inhibitor, EX527. CONCLUSIONS:Oip5-as1 suppresses miR-29a leading to activation of the SIRT1/AMPK/PGC1α pathway, which attenuates mitochondria-mediated apoptosis during MI/R injury. Our findings thus provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of MI/R injury.
