MiR-489 aggravates H2O2-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes via inhibiting IGF1.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major type of cardiovascular disorder worldwide. In the present study, we established a new microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA cross-talk network by integrating data obtained from The National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (NCBI GEO). In addition, functional assays, including Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses, were conducted using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integration Discovery (DAVID). In our study, we generated a new differentially expressed miRNA (DEmiRNA)-differentially expressed gene (DEG) cross-talk network of MI composed of three miRNA (miR-489, miR-375, and miR-142-3p) nodes and 163 mRNA nodes. In vitro experiments demonstrated that miR-489 expression was increased in H2O2-treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes in vitro, mimicking myocardial injury. We observed that down-regulation of miR-489 reduced H2O2-induced apoptosis, while overexpression of miR-489 had the opposite effects, as revealed by flow cytometry and Western blot analyses. Furthermore, we confirmed the relationship between miR-489 and IGF1 through double luciferase reporter gene assays, which partly explains the antiapoptotic mechanism of miR-489. In conclusion, the experimental results of the present study could provide important clues for investigating the mechanism of MI.

Project description:Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MIR) injury, which occurs following acute myocardial infarction, can cause secondary damage to the heart. Tripartite interaction motif (TRIM) proteins, a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases, have been recognized as critical regulators in MIR injury. Zenglv Fumai Granule (ZFG) is a clinical prescription for the treatment of sick sinus syndrome, a disease that is associated with MIR injury. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ZFG on MIR injury and to determine whether ZFG exerts its effects via regulation of TRIM proteins. In order to establish an in vitro MIR model, human cardiomyocyte cell line AC16 was cultured under hypoxia for 5 h and then under normal conditions for 1 h. Following hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment, these cells were cultured with different ZFG concentrations. ZFG notably inhibited H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The expression levels of four TRIM proteins, TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22 and TRIM28, were also detected. These four proteins were significantly upregulated in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes, whereas their expression was inhibited following ZFG treatment. Moreover, TRIM28 knockdown inhibited H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, whereas TRIM28 overexpression promoted apoptosis and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiomyocytes. However, the effects of TRIM28 overexpression were limited by the action of ROS inhibitor N-acetyl-L-cysteine. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX)1 were significantly downregulated in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes. TRIM28 knockdown restored GPX1 protein levels but had no effect on mRNA expression levels. Co-immunoprecipitation and ubiquitination assays demonstrated that TRIM28 negatively regulated GPX1 via ubiquitination. In sum, the present study revealed that ZFG attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating the TRIM28/GPX1/ROS pathway. ZFG and TRIM28 offer potential therapeutic options for the treatment of MIR injury.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common disease with a high morbidity rate, which results in a significant deterioration in the quality of life of patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that influence target genes and serve critical roles in numerous biological processes. However, the role of miR-489-3p in lumbar disc degeneration is yet to be elucidated. In the present study, human NP cells were treated with 10 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h to investigate the role of miR-489-3p in IDD in an in vitro model. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR was performed to determine the expression levels of miR-489-3p. Then, the TargetScan database was used to predict the potential binding sites between miR-489-3p and Toll-like receptor (TLR)4, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the findings. Subsequently, RT-qPCR and western blotting were used to analyze the expression levels of TLR4. In addition, human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were transfected with a miR-489-3p mimic and TLR4 overexpression plasmid to study the effects of miR-489-3p on LPS-induced human NP cells. Cell apoptosis and cell viability were also determined using flow cytometry and MTT assays, respectively. Finally, ELISAs were performed to analyze the levels of inflammatory factors. The expression levels of miR-489-3p were discovered to be downregulated in LPS-treated human NP cells. In addition, TLR4 was revealed to be a direct target gene of miR-489-3p, and its expression levels were upregulated in LPS-treated human NP cells. miR-489-3p was found to inhibit the LPS-induced decreases in cell viability and increases in apoptosis, and the concentration of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, miR-489-3p suppressed the LPS-induced decreases in extracellular matrix deposition via decreasing the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen type II in human NP cells. Finally, the results revealed that miR-489-3p inhibited the LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in human NP cells. Conversely, all of the effects of miR-489-3p on LPS-induced human NP cells were reversed by the TLR4 overexpression plasmid. These findings suggested that miR-489-3p may represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of IDD.
