MiR-223-3p affects myocardial inflammation and apoptosis following myocardial infarction via targeting FBXW7.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the main causes of disability and death in the world, leading to myocarditis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) is involved in myocarditis and apoptosis. The main purpose of this study was to explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-223-3p on myocarditis and apoptosis after MI.

Methods

We cultured H9c2 cells and detected the expression of miR-223-3p in cells treated with different concentrations of H₂O₂. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were fed with normal diet, constructed an MI model and detect the expression of miR-223-3p in heart tissue. Overexpression or inhibition of miR-223-3p was conducted in MI model cells in vitro, and the contents of the inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in cell supernatant were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Luciferase activity assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between miR-223-3p and FBXW7, and the expression of FBXW7 in cells was also detected. Overexpression of miR-223-3p was performed in MI rats to detect the expression of inflammatory factors, FBXW7, and apoptosis in rat cardiac tissue.

Results

The expression of miR-223-3p was down regulated in MI models established in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of miR-223-3p can inhibit inflammatory response and apoptosis in H9c2 cells and cardiac tissues. It was revealed that miR-223-3p can inhibit the expression of FBXW7, reduce myocarditis and apoptosis after MI, and improve cardiac function.

Conclusions

It is possible that miR-223-3p reduces myocarditis and apoptosis after MI and improves cardiac function by targeted inhibition of FBXW7 expression.

Project description:Infiltration by dendritic cells (DCs) is markedly increased in the infarcted area following myocardial infarction (MI), and DC ablation has been shown to impair angiogenesis in mice post‑MI. Exosomes (EXs) have long been known to act as messengers between cells; however, whether EXs derived from DCs can enhance myocardial angiogenesis post‑MI remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether EXs derived from DCs induce myocardial angiogenesis via paracrine signaling post‑MI. In vitro, suspensions of mouse bone marrow‑derived DCs (BMDCs) were incubated with the supernatant of necrotic or normal cultured HL‑1 myocardial cells (as the MI or control group, respectively) for 24 h. EXs isolated from the supernatant of BMDCs were termed DEXs, which were added to primary cultures of rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs), and angiogenesis was evaluated by measuring tube formation and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. In vivo, different groups of DEXs were injected into the infarcted myocardium of MI model mice. Then, angiogenesis was evaluated by measuring the number of vessels and the expression of VEGF and CD31 in the infarcted myocardium using immunohistochemistry. Moreover, the expression profile of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) in splenic DCs of MI model mice was analyzed by Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 chip assays, then certified in DEXs by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. Finally, miRNA‑loaded DEXs were used to induce tube formation by CMECs and angiogenesis in MI model mice. It was observed that, compared with the control group, DEXs from the MI group significantly upregulated the expression of VEGF in CMECs, enhanced tube formation by CMECs, and upregulated the expression of VEGF and CD31 in the infarcted myocardium of MI model mice. miR‑494‑3p and miR‑16a‑5p, which are associated with angiogenesis, were significantly upregulated in splenic DCs of MI model mice by Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 chip assays, miR‑494‑3p was significantly upregulated and highly enriched in DEXs from the MI group compared with the control, and DEX‑miR‑494‑3p enhanced tube formation by CMECs and angiogenesis in mice post‑MI. These results suggest that miR‑494‑3p may be secreted from DCs via EXs and promotes angiogenesis post‑MI. These findings indicate a novel DEX‑based approach to the treatment of MI.

Project description:BackgroundPreclinical data suggest that an acute inflammatory response following myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates systemic atherosclerosis. Using combined positron emission and computed tomography, we investigated whether this phenomenon occurs in humans.Methods and resultsOverall, 40 patients with MI and 40 with stable angina underwent thoracic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined positron emission and computed tomography scan. Radiotracer uptake was measured in aortic atheroma and nonvascular tissue (paraspinal muscle). In 1003 patients enrolled in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events, we assessed whether infarct size predicted early (≤30 days) and late (>30 days) recurrent coronary events. Compared with patients with stable angina, patients with MI had higher aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (tissue-to-background ratio 2.15±0.30 versus 1.84±0.18, P<0.0001) and plasma C-reactive protein concentrations (6.50 [2.00 to 12.75] versus 2.00 [0.50 to 4.00] mg/dL, P=0.0005) despite having similar aortic (P=0.12) and less coronary (P=0.006) atherosclerotic burden and similar paraspinal muscular 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (P=0.52). Patients with ST-segment elevation MI had larger infarcts (peak plasma troponin 32 300 [10 200 to >50 000] versus 3800 [1000 to 9200] ng/L, P<0.0001) and greater aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (2.24±0.32 versus 2.02±0.21, P=0.03) than those with non-ST-segment elevation MI. Peak plasma troponin concentrations correlated with aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (r=0.43, P=0.01) and, on multivariate analysis, independently predicted early (tertile 3 versus tertile 1: relative risk 4.40 [95% CI 1.90 to 10.19], P=0.001), but not late, recurrent MI.ConclusionsThe presence and extent of MI is associated with increased aortic atherosclerotic inflammation and early recurrent MI. This finding supports the hypothesis that acute MI exacerbates systemic atherosclerotic inflammation and remote plaque destabilization: MI begets MI.Clinical trial registrationURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Project description:Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite continuous advances in diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic methods. Myocardial work (MW) indices and miRNAs have both emerged as potential prognostic markers in acute coronary syndromes in recent years. In this study we aim to assess the prognostic role of myocardial work indices and of a group of miRNAs in young patients with STEMI. We enrolled 50 young patients (<55 years) with STEMI who underwent primary PCI and 10 healthy age-matched controls. We performed standard 2D and 3D echocardiography; we also calculated left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the derived myocardial work indices. Using RT-PCR we determined the plasmatic levels of six miRNAs: miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-486-5p and miR-155-5p. We assessed the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at up to one year after STEMI. Out of 50 patients, 18% experienced MACE at the one-year follow-up. In a Cox univariate logistic regression analysis, myocardial work indices were all significantly associated with MACE. The ROC analysis showed that GWI, GCW and GWE as a group have a better predictive value for MACE than each separately (AUC 0.951, p = 0.000). Patients with higher miRNAs values at baseline (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) appear to have a higher probability of developing adverse events at 12 months of follow-up. ROC curves outlined for each variable confirmed their good predictive value (AUC = 0.832, p = 0.002 for miR-223-3p; AUC = 0.732, p = 0.031 for miR-142-3p and AUC = 0.848, p = 0.001 for miR-146a-5p); the group of three miRNAs also proved to have a better predictive value for MACE together than separately (AUC = 0.862). Moreover, adding each of the miRNAs (miR-233, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) or all together over the myocardial work indices in the regression models improved their prognostic value. In conclusion, both myocardial work indices (GWI, GCW and GWE) and three miRNAs (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) have the potential to be used as prognostic markers for adverse events after acute myocardial infarction. The combination of miRNAs and MW indices (measured at baseline) rather than each separately has very good predictive value for MACE in young STEMI patients (C-statistic 0.977).
