Downregulation of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 inhibits hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in diabetic cardiomyocytes by protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 12.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic patients leads to an increased incidence of complications and mortality. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) plays a critical role in diabetic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. This paper aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of SFRP4 in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury of diabetic myocardial cells. An in vitro ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model was established using high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Expression of SFRP4 was detected by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. After transfection of SFRP4, the binding of SFRP4 to protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 12 (PTPN12) was predicted by database and verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. P13 K/AKT protein levels were examined by Western blotting. PTPN12 levels were tested by RT-qPCR and Western blotting, cell viability by Cell Counting Kit-8, lactose dehydrogenase kit, terminal dUTP nick-end labeling assay, and cell inflammation and oxidative stress by Western blotting and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. After overexpression of PTPN12, the experiments for cell viability, inflammation and oxidative stress were repeated once more. SFRP4 expression was upregulated in a high-glucose-stimulated H/R cardiomyocyte model. The interference of SFRP4 promoted cell viability, inhibited the inflammatory and oxidative stress response of H/R cardiomyocytes induced by high glucose. SFRP4 interacted with PTPN12 and inhibited the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. PTPN12 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of sh-SFRP4 on H/R cardiomyocyte damage induced by high glucose. Downregulation of SFRP4 inhibited H/R cell damage in diabetic cardiomyocytes by binding to PTPN12.

Project description:Background:Constitutive nuclear factor kappa B (NF?B) activation has been shown to exacerbate during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We recently showed that miR-181c-5p exacerbated cardiomyocytes injury and apoptosis by directly targeting the 3'-untranslated region of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 4 (PTPN4). However, whether miR-181c-5p mediates cardiac I/R injury through NF?B-mediated inflammation is unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of miR-181c-5p during myocardial I/R injury and explore its mechanism in relation to inflammation in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Methods and Results:In hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R, 6?h hypoxia followed by 6?h reoxygenation)-stimulated H9C2 cardiomyocytes or postischemic myocardium of rat, the expression of miR-181c-5p was significantly upregulated, which was concomitant increased NF?B activity when compared to the nonhypoxic or nonischemic control groups. This is indicative that miR-181c-5p may be involved in NF?B-mediated inflammation during myocardial I/R injury. To investigate the potential role of miR-181c-5p in H/R-induced cell inflammation and injury, H9C2 cardiomyocytes were transfected with the miR-181c-5p agomir. Overexpression of miR-181c-5p significantly aggravated H/R-induced cell injury (increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level) and exacerbated NF?B-mediated inflammation (greater phosphorylation and degradation of I?B?, phosphorylation of p65, and increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1?). In contrast, inhibition of miR-181c-5p by its antagomir transfection in vitro had the opposite effect. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-181c-5p significantly enhanced lipopolysaccharide-induced NF?B signalling. Additionally, knockdown of PTPN4, the direct target of miR-181c-5p, significantly aggravated H/R-induced phosphorylation and degradation of I?B?, phosphorylation of p65, and the levels of proinflammatory cytokines. PTPN4 knockdown also cancelled miR-181c-5p antagomir mediated anti-inflammatory effects in H9C2 cardiomyocytes during H/R injury. Conclusions:It is concluded that miR-181c-5p may exacerbate myocardial I/R injury and NF?B-mediated inflammation via PTPN4, and that targeting miR-181c-5p/PTPN4/NF?B signalling may represent a novel strategy to combat myocardial I/R injury.
