Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) represents a significant culprit leading to adverse consequences after cardiac surgery. This study aims to clarify the function and related pathway of ischemic preconditioning related lncRNA-1 (IPCRL1) in MIRI.
MIRI model was established in C57BL/6J mice via the myocardial reperfusion method, and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was constructed using HL-1 cell. IPCRL1, miR-185-3p, JIP3, TNF-α were determined using RT-qPCR. JIP3, c-Jun, JNK phosphorylation, B-cell lymphoma 2(BCL2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX), cleaved caspase-3 levels were measured using Western blot. ELISA was used to measured cardiomyocyte injury markers and TNF-α concentrations. IHC and flow cytometry investigated the trends in apoptosis. The binding relationships between IPCRL1, miR-185-3p, JIP3 were verified by Dual-luciferase reporter assay.
IPCRL1 knockdown reduced infarct size, inflammation, and apoptosis. Additionally, knockdown of IPCRL1 downregulates the expression of JIP3 via sponge miRNA-185-3p, thereby affecting the JNK pathway, meanwhile inhibition of miRNA-185-3p reversed above effects. Knocking down IPCRL1 can counteract cardiomyocyte apoptosis through miR-185-3p/JIP3 axis, offering protection against MIRI.
IPCRL1/miRNA-185-3p/JIP3 axis mediates MIRI through JNK pathway and IPCRL1 may hold promise as a new noteworthy target for MIRI.
心肌缺血/再灌注损伤(MIRI)是心脏手术后导致不良后果的一个重要原因。本研究旨在阐明缺血预处理相关长链非编码RNA-1(IPCRL1)在MIRI中的作用及其相关通路。
通过心肌再灌注法在C57BL/6J小鼠中建立MIRI模型,并用HL-1细胞构建缺氧/复氧(H/R)模型。采用RT-qPCR检测IPCRL1、miR-185-3p、JIP3、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)。用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测JIP3、c-Jun、JNK磷酸化、B细胞淋巴瘤-2(BCL2)、Bcl-2相关X蛋白(BAX)、裂解的半胱天冬酶-3水平。用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测心肌细胞损伤标志物和TNF-α浓度。免疫组织化学和流式细胞术研究细胞凋亡趋势。通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测验证IPCRL1、miR-185-3p、JIP3之间的结合关系。
敲低IPCRL1可减小梗死面积、减轻炎症和细胞凋亡。此外,敲低IPCRL1通过海绵化miRNA-185-3p下调JIP3的表达,从而影响JNK通路,同时抑制miRNA-185-3p可逆转上述作用。敲低IPCRL1可通过miR-185-3p/JIP3轴对抗心肌细胞凋亡,为MIRI提供保护。
IPCRL1/miRNA-185-3p/JIP3轴通过JNK通路介导MIRI,IPCRL1有望成为MIRI一个新的重要治疗靶点。
