This study aimed to analyze the role of circular RNA ciRs-126 in hypoxia/reoxygenation cardiac injury (H/R).
Expression of ciRs-126 and miR-21 in plasma samples from patients with H/R and healthy controls was determined by RT-qPCR. Correlations were analyzed by linear regression. Overexpression of ciRs-126 and miR-21 was achieved in cardiomyocytes to explore their crosstalk. The roles of ciRs-126 and miR-21 in H/R-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes were analyzed using cell apoptosis assay.
CiRs-126 was upregulated and miR-21 was downregulated in H/R patients. They were inversely correlated across plasma samples from H/R patients. In H/R cardiomyocytes, ciRs-126 was upregulated and miR-21 was downregulated. In cardiomyocytes, ciRs-126 overexpression decreased miR-21 level and reduced the inhibitory effects of miR-21 overexpression on H/R-induced cell apoptosis.
Circular RNA ciRs-126 may suppress miR-21 expression to promote H/R cardiac injury.
本研究旨在分析环状RNA ciRs-126在缺氧/复氧心脏损伤(H/R)中的作用。
采用RT-qPCR法检测H/R患者和健康对照者血浆样本中ciRs-126和miR-21的表达。通过线性回归分析相关性。在心肌细胞中实现ciRs-126和miR-21的过表达以探索它们之间的相互作用。使用细胞凋亡检测分析ciRs-126和miR-21在H/R诱导的心肌细胞凋亡中的作用。
H/R患者中ciRs-126上调,miR-21下调。在H/R患者的血浆样本中它们呈负相关。在H/R心肌细胞中,ciRs-126上调,miR-21下调。在心肌细胞中,ciRs-126过表达降低了miR-21水平,并减弱了miR-21过表达对H/R诱导的细胞凋亡的抑制作用。
环状RNA ciRs-126可能通过抑制miR-21表达促进H/R心脏损伤。
