MicroRNA-377 Alleviates Myocardial Injury Induced by Hypoxia/Reoxygenation via Downregulating LILRB2 Expression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

miR-377 is closely related to myocardial regeneration. miR-377-adjusted mesenchymal stem cells abducted ischemic cardiac angiogenesis. Nevertheless, there were rarely reports about the impact of miR-377 on myocardial ischemia injury. The purpose of this work is that whether miR-377 can protect against myocardial injury caused by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).

Methods

Gene expression omnibus database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/; no. GSE53211) was utilized to study the differential expression of miR-377 in patients with an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and healthy controls. The luciferase activity was determined utilizing the dual-luciferase reporter system. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were used to measure the messenger RNA and protein level.

Results

Low expression of miR-377 and high expression of leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2) were identified in patients with myocardial infarction from analyzing the Gene Expression Omnibus data set. Besides, miR-377 expression was downregulated in cardiomyocyte exposed to H/R. Additionally, overexpression of miR-377 could visibly improve cardiomyocyte injury by regulating cell activity and apoptosis.

Conclusions

In short, our findings suggested that miR-377/LILRB2 might regard as a hopeful therapeutic target for myocardial ischemic.

Project description:Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury(MIRI) is one of the common complications after myocardial infarction surgery, Oxidative stress is among the main mechanisms of myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury. Plantamajoside (PMS), the main effective ingredient in the genus Plantain, has been reported to possess an antioxidation, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis role. However, whether PMS can attenuate myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury is not yet known. Herein, we explored the effects of PMS on hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and the underling molecular mechanisms of the treatment. Network pharmacological analysis screened the top 31 key genes in the treatment of MIRI disease treated with PMS, and the result of molecular docking further illustrated the roles that the PMS play in the treatment of MIRI through its interference with integrin-linked kinase (ILK) target protein. PMS was not cytotoxic in the concentration range of 5–40 μM and increased cell survival after H/R injury in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting proliferation or growth. PMS significantly reduced the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, malonic dialdehyde, reactive oxygen species and cell apoptosis, and increased soperoxide dismutase activity compared with those of the H/R injury group. PMS promoted the protein and mRNA expression of ILK and Bcl-2, the protein expression of p-Akt, and reduced the protein and mRNA expression of Bax, Caspase-3, and Cytochrome c, the protein expression of p–c-Src. PMS has protective effects against H/R injury in H9c2 cells, and its protective mechanism may be related to reactive oxygen species clearance, activation of the ILK/c-Src/Akt pathway and inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptosis.

Highlights • It’s the first time to explore the protective effect of PMS on H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, and to reveal its potential mechanism at the cellular level, which provides a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of MIRI in clinical practice. • The protective effect of PMS on H9c2 cardiomyocytes injured by H/R is related to stimulating the ILK/c-Src/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. • PMS could be further developed as a drug to treat MIRI. • The result of this work will facilitate further studies on the pathophysiological mechanism of MIRI.

Project description:BackgroundAnesthetic postconditioning is a cellular protective approach whereby exposure to a volatile anesthetic renders a tissue more resistant to subsequent ischemic/reperfusion event. Sevoflurane postconditioning (SPostC) has been shown to exert cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We hypothesized that SPostC protects cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury by maintaining/restoring mitochondrial morphological integrity, a critical determinant of cell fate.MethodsPrimary cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NCMs) were subjected to H/R injury (3 h of hypoxia followed by 3 h reoxygenation). Intervention with SPostC (2.4% sevoflurane) was administered for 15 min upon the onset of reoxygenation. Cell viability, Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, cell death, mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening were assessed after intervention. Mitochondrial fusion and fission regulating proteins (Drp1, Fis1, Mfn1, Mfn2 and Opa1) were assessed by immunofluorescence staining and western blotting was performed to determine the level of protein expression.ResultsCardiomyocyte H/R injury resulted in significant increases in LDH release and cell death that were concomitant with reduced cell viability and reduced mitochondrial interconnectivity (mean area/perimeter ratio) and mitochondrial elongation, and with reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and increased mPTP opening. All the above changes were significantly attenuated by SPostC. Furthermore, H/R resulted in significant reductions in mitochondrial fusion proteins Mfn1, Mfn2 and Opa1 and significant enhancement of fission proteins Drp1 and Fis1. SPostC significantly enhanced Mfn2 and Opa1 and reduced Drp1, without significant impact on Mfn1 and Fis1.ConclusionsSevoflurane postconditioning attenuates cardiomyocytes hypoxia/reoxygenation injury (HRI) by restoring mitochondrial fusion/fission balance and morphology.

Project description:BackgroundThis study sought to explore the role and molecular mechanism of circ_0049271 in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury.MethodsSignificantly upregulated circular ribonucleic acids (circRNAs) in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data sets were identified using a Venn diagram. A H9c2 (rat cardiomyocytes) cell model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was induced by 1% H/R. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of circ_0049271, miR-17-3p, and FZD4 in clinical blood samples and cells, and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to determine the proliferation rate of the cells in each group. Next, flow cytometry and Western blot were used to evaluate cell apoptosis. Biochemical tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were then used to determine the activities/levels of the cell damage markers [i.e., creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)], oxidative stress substances [i.e., malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD)], and inflammatory factors [i.e., interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8]. In addition, intermolecular interactions were verified using dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down experiments.ResultsCirc_0049271 was significantly upregulated in both the blood of the AMI patients and the H/R-induced H9c2 cells. The knockdown of circ_0049271 increased the cell proliferation rate, decreased the apoptosis rate, inhibited oxidative stress (ROS and MDA were upregulated, and SOD was downregulated) and inflammatory responses (IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 were downregulated), and relieved cell damage. However, the overexpression of circ_0049271 promoted H/R-induced H9c2 cell damage. Further experiments showed that miR-17-3p was a target of circ_0049271, and miR-17-3p was negatively correlated with circ_0049271 in the AMI blood samples. Additionally, miR-17-3p was found to target FZD4. A further exploration also revealed that miR-17-3p knockdown or FZD4 overexpression reversed the effects of si-circ_0049271 on the H/R-induced H9c2 cells; that is, miR-17-3p knockdown or FZD4 overexpression promoted H/R-induced injury in the H9c2 cells.ConclusionsCirc_0049271 promoted cellular function damage (e.g., proliferation inhibition, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation) in H/R-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes via the miR-17-3p/FZD4 signaling axis.
