MiR-23b-3p regulates lipoprotein (a) to protect human coronary vascular endothelial cells against homocysteine-induced injury
an endogenous microRNA that efficiently lowers apolipoprotein (a) [Apo (a)] level
in protecting human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) against homocysteine-induced injury.
Methods
2
Based on the results of bioinformatics analysis
miR chip data and preliminary experimental findings
ETS1 was selected as the target gene for designing miR-23b-3p mimic and inhibitor. The pmirGLO-ETS1 3′-UTR and pmirGLO-ETS1 3′-UTR mut plasmids were constructed and transfected separately into cultured HCAECs along with the miR-23b-3p inhibitor or miR-23b-3p mimics
followed by testing of the double luciferase reporter gene. HCAECs transfected with the miR-23b-3p mimic
miR-23b-3p inhibitor or without transfection were cultured in the presence of 1.0 mmol/L homocysteine for 7 d
and the cell survival rate
expression of miR-23b-3p and Apo (a) mRNA
and expression of akt
p-akt and eNOS proteins were measured.
Results
2
Double luciferase reporter gene assay showed a direct binding of miR-23b-3p to ETS1 3′-UTR
suggesting that ETS1 was the direct target gene of miR-23b-3p. After exposure to homocysteine for 7 d
the survival rate of HCAECs cells transfected with the miR-23b-3p mimic was (66.22±5.17)%
significantly higher than the rate of (42.12±2.35)% in cells transfected with the miR-23b-3p inhibitor and the rate of (38.36±2.21)% in cells without transfection (
P
<
0.01); the cell survival rates in the 3 groups were all significantly lower than that of normal HCAECs (
P
<
0.01). Transfection of HCAECs with the miR-23b-3p mimic significantly up-regulated the expression level of miR-23b-3p mRNA (
P
<
0.01)
lowered the expression level of Apo (a) mRNA (
P
<
0.01)
and increased the expression levels of p-Akt and eNOS proteins (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
With ETS1 as the target gene
miR-23b-3p decreases the expression level of Apo (a) through the akt/eNOS signaling pathway to protect HCAECs against homocysteine-induced injury.
