To investigate whether microRNA-489 could promote cardiomyocyte apoptosis through targeting inhibition of SPIN1, thus participating in the development of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
MicroRNA-489 expression in H9c2 cells induced with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). With microRNA-489 overexpression in H/R H9c2 cells, activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were detected using relative commercial kits, respectively. The regulatory effect of microRNA-489 on the proliferation and apoptosis of H/R H9c2 cells was assessed through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry (FCM), respectively. Through conducting a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, we evaluated the binding condition between microRNA-489 and SPIN1. Protein expressions of apoptotic genes in H/R H9c2 cells with microRNA-489 overexpression were determined by Western blot. Finally, the regulatory role of microRNA-489 in PI3K/AKT pathway was detected through Western blot.
QRT-PCR data showed that microRNA-489 was highly expressed in H/R H9c2 cells than those in normoxic control. Overexpression of microRNA-489 in H/R H9c2 cells increased the activities of LDH, MDA and GSH-PX, while decreased the activities of SOD. MicroRNA-489 overexpression markedly inhibited the proliferative rate but accelerated apoptosis of H/R H9c2 cells. Western blot results indicated that protein expressions of pro-apoptotic genes Bax and cytochrome C upregulated, whereas anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 downregulated after overexpression of microRNA-489 in H/R H9c2 cells. We confirmed that microRNA-489 could target to SPIN1 and inhibit its expression. After overexpression of microRNA-489 in H/R H9c2 cells, PI3K/AKT pathway was inhibited, which was further reversed by PI3K/AKT pathway agonist SC79. Besides, SC79 treatment also reversed the regulatory effect of overexpressed microRNA-489 on cellular behaviors of H/R H9c2 cells.
MicroRNA-489 inhibits the proliferation and accelerates apoptosis of cardiomyocytes after MIRI by targeting inhibition of SPIN1 via inactivating PI3K/AKT pathway. MicroRNA-489 may be a potential therapeutic target for MIRI.
探讨微小 RNA-489 是否可以通过靶向抑制 SPIN1 促进心肌细胞凋亡,从而参与心肌缺血再灌注损伤的发生。
采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测缺氧/复氧(H/R)诱导的 H9c2 细胞中微小 RNA-489 的表达。用微小 RNA-489 过表达 H/R H9c2 细胞,分别用相对商业试剂盒检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、甲烷二羧酸醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)的活性。通过细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)检测和流式细胞术(FCM)分别评估微小 RNA-489 对 H/R H9c2 细胞增殖和凋亡的调控作用。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测,评估微小 RNA-489 与 SPIN1 的结合情况。用 Western blot 检测微小 RNA-489 过表达的 H/R H9c2 细胞中凋亡基因的蛋白表达。最后,通过 Western blot 检测微小 RNA-489 在 PI3K/AKT 通路中的调控作用。
qRT-PCR 数据显示,微小 RNA-489 在 H/R H9c2 细胞中的表达高于正常氧对照。H/R H9c2 细胞中微小 RNA-489 的过表达增加了 LDH、MDA 和 GSH-PX 的活性,而降低了 SOD 的活性。微小 RNA-489 的过表达显著抑制 H/R H9c2 细胞的增殖率,但加速了其凋亡。Western blot 结果表明,过表达微小 RNA-489 后,促凋亡基因 Bax 和细胞色素 C 的蛋白表达上调,而抗凋亡基因 Bcl-2 的蛋白表达下调。我们证实微小 RNA-489 可以靶向 SPIN1 并抑制其表达。H/R H9c2 细胞中微小 RNA-489 过表达后,PI3K/AKT 通路被抑制,而 PI3K/AKT 通路激动剂 SC79 可进一步逆转这一作用。此外,SC79 处理还逆转了过表达微小 RNA-489 对 H/R H9c2 细胞细胞行为的调节作用。
微小 RNA-489 通过靶向抑制 SPIN1 抑制 PI3K/AKT 通路的活性,抑制 MIRI 后心肌细胞的增殖并加速其凋亡。微小 RNA-489 可能是 MIRI 的潜在治疗靶点。
