Protective effects of MicroRNA-214 on myocardial injury induced by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion and the regulation mechanism of its downstream protein kinase / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the protective effects of MicroRNA-214 on myocardial injury induced by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion,as well as the regulation mechanism of PI3K and its downstream protein kinase B(AKT)and FoxO1(PI3K / AKT / FoxO1).Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groupssham operation group(Sham group),myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI)group(IRI group),microRNA-214+sham operation group(MS group),microRNA-214+IRI group(MI group),(n=10,each).The cardiac function was detected at 6 h after ischemia-reperfusion operation.And blood lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),creatine kinase(CK),creatine phosphate kinase isoforms MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin T(cTnT),serum B natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP)in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Interleukin 10(IL-10),Interleukin 6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)were assayed.Pathological changes of myocardial tissue were detected by HE and Masson.The expression of microRNA-214 was detected by RT-PCR.The expression of Bax,Caspase-3,BCl2,PI3K,Akt,FoxO1 was detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with Sham group,IRI group showed a significantly increases in myocardial injury parameters of LDH,CK,IL-6 and TNF concentration in plasma,and a significantly reduced concentration of IL-10(P<0.05).And compared with Sham group,MI group showed a significantly increased expression of microRNA-214(P<0.05)and showed a significantly increased myocardial parameters of Bax,Caspase-3,PI3K,Akt protein,and a decreased level of BCl2,FoxO1(P<0.05).Compared with IRI group,microRNA-21 group showed a reduced myocardial ischemia-reperfusion-induced myocardial injury in rats and a reduced plasma concentration of LDH,CK,IL-6 and TNF-alpha,a inhibited expression of caspase-3,Bax,myocardial PI3K and Akt,and a promoted expression of BCl2 and FoxO1 protein(P<0.05).Conclusions MicroRNA-214 reduces the myocardial injury induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion through PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
