Effects Of Microrna-292-5p On Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Through The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Alpha/-Gamma Signaling Pathway
GENE THERAPY(2018)
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of cardiac damage following various pathological processes, such as free radical damage and cell apoptosis. This study aims to investigate whether microRNA-292-5p (miR-292-5p) protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) via the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha/-gamma signaling pathway in myocardial IRI mice models. Mouse models of myocardial IRI were established. Adult male C57BL/6 mice were divided into different groups. The hemodynamic indexes, levels of related inflammatory factors and serum myocardial enzymes, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected. The 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was applied to determine infarct size. TUNEL staining was used to detect cardiomyocyte apoptosis. RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to measure the related gene expressions. Compared with the model group and the T0070907 + miR-292-5p inhibitor, the miR-292-5p inhibitor group exhibited decreased incidence and duration time of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, serum myocardial enzymes, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 beta, MDA, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, expressions of Bax and p53 in addition to increased SOD and GSH-Px activity, and increased expressions of Bcl-2, PPAR alpha, PPAR gamma, PLIN5, AQP7, and PCK1. The T0070907 group exhibited opposite results compared to the miR-292-5p inhibitor group. The results indicate that miR-292-5p downregulation protects against myocardial IRI through activation of the PPAR-alpha/PPAR-gamma signaling pathway.
