Ischaemia induces cardiac apoptosis and leads to a loss of cardiac function and heart failure after myocardial infarction. MicroRNA-19b-1 (miR-19b-1), a key member of the miR-17/92 cluster, plays crucial roles in inhibiting apoptosis. However, the role of miR-19b-1 in ischaemia-induced heart failure remains unknown. In this study, ischaemia resulted in cardiac apoptosis and the suppression of miR-19b-1 expression, whereas miR-19b-1 overexpression inhibited ischaemia-induced cardiac apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, miR-19b-1 not only attenuated the infarct size but also ameliorated heart failure after myocardial infarction, including the changes in the left ventricular ejection fraction and volume load. Mechanically, miR-19-1 targeted and downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl2l11/BIM, a pro-apoptotic gene of the Bcl-2 family. Together, these results revealed an essential role of miR-19b-1 in ischaemia-induced heart failure.
缺血会诱发心肌细胞凋亡,并在心肌梗死后导致心功能丧失和心力衰竭。微小RNA-19b-1(miR-19b-1)是miR-17/92簇的关键成员,在抑制细胞凋亡中起关键作用。然而,miR-19b-1在缺血性心力衰竭中的作用尚不清楚。在本研究中,缺血导致心肌细胞凋亡并抑制miR-19b-1的表达,而miR-19b-1过表达在体内和体外均抑制缺血诱导的心肌细胞凋亡。此外,miR-19b-1不仅减小了梗死面积,还改善了心肌梗死后的心力衰竭,包括左心室射血分数和容量负荷的变化。机制上,miR-19-1靶向并下调Bcl2l11/BIM(Bcl-2家族的促凋亡基因)的mRNA和蛋白表达。总之,这些结果揭示了miR-19b-1在缺血性心力衰竭中的重要作用。
