Long noncoding RNA activated by transforming growth factor-II (lncRNA-ATB) has been reported to have critical roles in carcinogenesis and progression of several cancers. However, the expression and biological roles of lncRNA-ATB in cardiovascular disease are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA-ATB expression in endothelial cell injury.
Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced damage to endothelial cells (ECs) plays a crucial role in the research of cardiovascular disease; it is used to treat human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) at different concentrations. qRT-PCR is used to identify the expression of lncRNA-ATB in HUVECs. CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis are performed to assess cell viability and apoptosis of HUVECs.
Ang II treatment down-regulated the lncRNA-ATB level in HUVECs. Meanwhile, both knockdown of lncRNA-ATB and Ang II treatment impaired the viability, and increased apoptosis rate of cells. Furthermore, overexpression of lncRNA-ATB inhibited cell apoptosis and repaired cell viability in HUVECs.
The findings indicated that lncRNA-ATB might be associated with the development of the cardiovascular disease.
转化生长因子-II 激活的长非编码 RNA(lncRNA-ATB)已被报道在几种癌症的发生和进展中具有关键作用。然而,lncRNA-ATB 在心血管疾病中的表达和生物学作用尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 lncRNA-ATB 表达在血管内皮细胞损伤中的作用。
血管紧张素 II(Ang II)诱导的内皮细胞(ECs)损伤在心血管疾病的研究中起着至关重要的作用;它被用于以不同浓度处理人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)。qRT-PCR 用于鉴定 HUVECs 中 lncRNA-ATB 的表达。CCK-8 测定和流式细胞术分析用于评估 HUVECs 的细胞活力和凋亡。
Ang II 处理下调了 HUVECs 中的 lncRNA-ATB 水平。同时,lncRNA-ATB 的敲低和 Ang II 处理均损害了细胞的活力,并增加了细胞的凋亡率。此外,lncRNA-ATB 的过表达抑制了 HUVECs 中的细胞凋亡并修复了细胞活力。
这些发现表明,lncRNA-ATB 可能与心血管疾病的发展有关。
