Abstract

Arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) is characterized by arterial narrowing and blockage due to atherosclerosis, influenced by endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. This research focuses on exploring the role of MAGOH-DT, a long noncoding RNA, in mediating endothelial cell dysfunction through endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) under inflammatory and hyperglycemic stimuli, aiming to uncover potential therapeutic targets for ASO. Differential expression of lncRNAs, including MAGOH-DT, was initially identified in arterial tissues from ASO patients compared to healthy controls through lncRNA microarray analysis. Validation of MAGOH-DT expression in response to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high glucose (HG) was performed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using RT-qPCR. The effects of MAGOH-DT and HNRPC knockdown on EndMT were assessed by evaluating EndMT markers and TGF-β2 protein expression with Western blot analysis. RNA-immunoprecipitation assays were used to explore the interaction between MAGOH-DT and HNRPC, focusing on their role in regulating TGF-β2 translation. In the results, MAGOH-DT expression is found to be upregulated in ASO and further induced in HUVECs under TNF-α/HG conditions, contributing to the facilitation of EndMT. Silencing MAGOH-DT or HNRPC is shown to inhibit the TNF-α/HG-induced increase in TGF-β2 protein expression, effectively attenuating EndMT processes without altering TGF-β2 mRNA levels. In conclusion, MAGOH-DT is identified as a key mediator in the process of TNF-α/HG-induced EndMT in ASO, offering a promising therapeutic target. Inhibition of MAGOH-DT presents a novel therapeutic strategy for ASO management, especially in cases complicated by diabetes mellitus. Further exploration into the therapeutic implications of MAGOH-DT modulation in ASO treatment is warranted.

摘要

闭塞性动脉硬化症(ASO)的特征是动脉狭窄和阻塞,这是由动脉粥样硬化引起的,受内皮功能障碍和炎症的影响。这项研究专注于探索长链非编码 RNA MAGOH-DT 在炎症和高血糖刺激下通过内皮-间充质转化(EndMT)介导内皮细胞功能障碍的作用,旨在为 ASO 发现潜在的治疗靶点。通过 lncRNA 微阵列分析,首先在 ASO 患者的动脉组织中鉴定了包括 MAGOH-DT 在内的 lncRNA 的差异表达,与健康对照组相比。使用 RT-qPCR 在人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)中验证了 MAGOH-DT 对肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和高葡萄糖(HG)的反应。通过 Western blot 分析评估 EndMT 标志物和 TGF-β2 蛋白表达,评估 MAGOH-DT 和 HNRPC 敲低对 EndMT 的影响。使用 RNA-免疫沉淀测定来研究 MAGOH-DT 和 HNRPC 之间的相互作用,重点研究它们在调节 TGF-β2 翻译中的作用。结果表明,MAGOH-DT 在 ASO 中上调,并在 TNF-α/HG 条件下进一步诱导 HUVEC 中上调,有助于促进 EndMT。沉默 MAGOH-DT 或 HNRPC 可抑制 TNF-α/HG 诱导的 TGF-β2 蛋白表达增加,有效抑制 EndMT 过程而不改变 TGF-β2 mRNA 水平。总之,MAGOH-DT 被鉴定为 ASO 中 TNF-α/HG 诱导的 EndMT 过程中的关键介质,为 ASO 的治疗提供了一个有希望的靶点。抑制 MAGOH-DT 为 ASO 管理提供了一种新的治疗策略,特别是在伴有糖尿病的情况下。进一步探讨 MAGOH-DT 调节在 ASO 治疗中的治疗意义是有必要的。
