Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion

Objective. To clarify the function of miRNA-19b-3p in accelerating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury- (MIRI-) induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by downregulating gene of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten (PTEN), thus influencing the progression of acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods. miRNA-19b-3p and PTEN levels in HCM cells undergoing hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) were determined. Meanwhile, activities of myocardium injury markers [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde; malonic dialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX)] in H/R-induced HCM cells were tested. Through dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, the binding between miRNA-19b-3p and PTEN was verified. Regulatory effects of miRNA-19b-3p and PTEN on apoptotic rate and apoptosis-associated gene expressions (proapoptotic protein Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and cytochrome C) in H/R-induced human cardiac myocytes (HCM) cells were examined. Results. miRNA-19b-3p was upregulated, while PTEN was downregulated in H/R-induced HCM cells. Knockdown of miRNA-19b-3p decreased activities of LDH, MDA, and GSH-PX, but increased SOD level in H/R-induced HCM cells. The binding between miRNA-19b-3p and PTEN was confirmed. More importantly, knockdown of miRNA-19b-3p reduced apoptotic rate, downregulated proapoptosis gene expressions (Bax and cytochrome C), and upregulated antiapoptosis gene expression (Bcl-2), which were reversed by silence of PTEN. Conclusions. miRNA-19b-3p is upregulated in HCM cells undergoing hypoxia and reoxygenation, which accelerates MIRI-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis through downregulating PTEN.

Abstract Background Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) is defined as tissue injury in the pathological process of progressive aggravation in ischemic myocardium after the occurrence of acute coronary artery occlusion. Research has documented the involvement of microRNAs (miRs) in MIRI. However, there is obscure information about the role of miR-130a-5p in MIRI. Herein, this study aims to investigate the effect of miR-130a-5p on MIRI. Methods MIRI mouse models were established. Then, the cardiac function and hemodynamics were detected using ultrasonography and multiconductive physiological recorder. Functional assays in miR-130a-5p were adopted to test the degrees of oxidative stress, mitochondrial functions, inflammation and apoptosis. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to validate the myocardial injury in mice. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was employed to assess the expression patterns of miR-130a-5p, high mobility group box (HMGB)2 and NF-κB. Then, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to elucidate the targeting relation between miR-130a-5p and HMGB2. Results Disrupted structural arrangement in MIRI mouse models was evident from HE staining. RT-qPCR revealed that overexpressed miR-130a-5p alleviated MIRI, MIRI-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial disorder in the mice. Next, the targeting relation between miR-130a-5p and HMGB2 was ascertained. Overexpressed HMGB2 annulled the protective effects of miR-130a-5p in MIRI mice. Additionally, miR-130a-5p targets HMGB2 to downregulate the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) axis, mitigating the inflammatory injury induced by MIRI. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that miR-130a-5p suppresses MIRI by down-regulating the HMGB2/NF-κB axis. This investigation may provide novel insights for development of MIRI treatments.

Abstract Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) has been improved with drugs and effective reperfusion, but it still cannot be prevented. We compared the effects of renal denervation (RDN) and angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis after I/R to explore whether RDN can reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis by improving endoplasmic reticulum stress.Methods: Sixty male specific pathogen free (SPF) Wister rats were randomly divided into six groups.(n=6):(a) normal; (b) sham; (c) I/R; (d) RDN; (e) I/R+RDN and (f) I/R+ARNI. We established the I/R rat model by ligating the left anterior descending artery. Rats were exposed tThe renal artery was exposed and then smeared phenol on the vessel for chemical ablation. The I/R+ARNI group received ARNIs for 2 weeks until killed. We also collected the cardiac tissues and blood serum to determine I/R-related indicators and analyze the potential mechanisms involved.Results: The levels of Norepinephrine (NE), Ang II, and aldosterone (ALD)increased significantly in the I/R group but decreased significantly after RDN and ARNI intervention. The expression of Bax, caspase-3, CHOP, PERK, and ATF4 protein was significantly increased in the I/R group, which compared to other groups, and the level of CHOP, PERK, and ATF4 gene expression increased. After RDN intervention, these expression levels recovered to varying degrees. Conclusion: Our results provide new evidence that RDN ameliorates cardiomyocyte apoptosis in I/R. The effect of RDN may be associated with regulating the endoplasmic reticulum stress PERK/ATF4 signaling pathway.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effect of rno-microRNA-30c-5p (rno-miR-30c-5p) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in rats and the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods: A rat model of myocardial IR injury was established. The infarct size was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The pathologic changes of myocardial tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The apoptosis of myocardial cells was measured by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of rno-miR-30c-5p and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, p-IκBα, IκBα, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 and SIRT1 was detected by Western blot. The interaction between rno-miR-30c-5p and SIRT1 was predicted by TargetScan, and further identified by dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation assay.Results: The myocardial IR injury model was successfully established in rats. IR induced the myocardial injury in rats and increased the expression of rno-miR-30c-5p. Overexpression of rno-miR-30c-5p enhanced the inflammation, promoted the apoptosis, and activated NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells. SIRT1 was the target gene of rno-miR-30c-5p. Silencing of SIRT1 reversed the effects of rno-miR-30c-5p inhibitor on the apoptosis and NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells.Conclusions: Rno-miR-30c-5p promoted the myocardial IR injury in rats through activating NF-κB pathway and down-regulating SIRT1.

Objective: This study explores the effects of helix B surface peptide (HBSP) on myocardial infarct size (IS), cardiac function, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress damage in mouse hearts subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and also the mechanisms underlying the effects. Method: Male adult mice were subjected to 45 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion; 5 min before the reperfusion, they were treated with HBSP or vehicle. MIRI-induced IS, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac functional impairment were determined and compared. Western blot analysis was then conducted to elucidate the mechanism of HBSP after treatment. Results: HBSP administration before reperfusion significantly reduced the myocardial IS, decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reduced the activities of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde and partially preserved heart function. As demonstrated by the Western blot analysis, HBSP after treatment upregulated Akt/GSK-3β/ERK and STAT-3 phosphorylation; these inhibitors, in turn, weakened the beneficial effects of HBSP. Conclusion: HBSP plays a protective role in MIRI in mice by inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reducing the MIRI-induced IS, oxidative stress and improving the heart function after MIRI. The mechanism underlying these effects of HBSP is related to the activation of the RISK (reperfusion injury salvage kinase, Akt/GSK-3β/ERK) and SAFE (STAT-3) pathways.
