          Abstract

          Objective

          This study is aimed at investigating the therapeutic effects of tetrandrine (Tet) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury and probe into underlying molecular mechanism.

          Methods

          H9C2 cells were divided into hypoxia/oxygenation (H/R) group, H/R+Tet group, H/R+Tet+negative control (NC) group, and H/R+Tet+miR-202-5p inhibitor group. RT-qPCR was utilized to monitor miR-202-5p and TRPV2 expression, and TRPV2 protein expression was detected via western blot and immunohistochemistry in H9C2 cells. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was evaluated through detection of apoptosis-related markers and flow cytometry. Furthermore, myocardial enzyme levels were detected by ELISA. Rats were randomly separated into sham operation group, I/R group, I/R+Tet group (50 mg/kg), I/R+Tet+NC group, and I/R+Tet+miR-202-5p inhibitor group. miR-202-5p and TRPV2 mRNA expression was assessed by RT-qPCR. TRPV2 protein expression was detected through western blot and immunohistochemistry in myocardial tissues. Apoptotic levels were assessed via apoptosis-related proteins and TUNEL. Pathological changes were observed by H&E staining. Myocardial infarction size was examined by Evans blue-TCC staining.

          Results

          Abnormally expressed miR-202-5p as well as TRPV2 was found in H/R H9C2 cells and myocardial tissues of I/R rats, which was ameliorated following Tet treatment. Tet treatment significantly suppressed H/R- or I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. ELISA results showed that CK-MB and LDH levels were lowered by Tet treatment in H/R H9C2 cells and serum of I/R rats. H&E staining indicated that Tet reduced myocardial injury in I/R rats. Also, myocardial infarction size was lowered by Tet treatment. The treatment effects of Tet were altered following cotreatment with miR-202-5p inhibitor.

          Conclusion

          Our findings revealed that Tet may ameliorate myocardial I/R damage via targeting the miR-202-5p/TRPV2 axis.

          Transient receptor potential channels in cardiovascular function and disease.

          Motohiro Nishida, Hiromitsu Morita, Yushi Ito … (2006)
          Sustained elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration via Ca2+ influx, which is activated by a variety of mechanisms, plays a central regulatory role for cardiovascular functions. Recent molecular biological research has disclosed an unexpectedly diverse array of Ca(2+-entry channel molecules involved in this Ca2+ influx. These include more than ten transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily members such as TRPC1, TRPC3-6, TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, TRPM4, TRPM7, and polycystin (TRPP2). Most of them appear to be multimodally activated or modulated and show relevant features to both acute hemodynamic control and long-term remodeling of the cardiovascular system, and many of them have been found to respond not only to receptor stimulation but also to various forms of stimuli. There is good evidence to implicate TRPC1 in neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injury via store-depletion-operated Ca2+ entry. TRPC6 likely contributes to receptor-operated and mechanosensitive Ca2+ mobilizations, being involved in vasoconstrictor and myogenic responses and pulmonary arterial proliferation and its associated disease (idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension). Considerable evidence has also been accumulated for unique involvement of TRPV1 in blood flow/pressure regulation via sensory vasoactive neuropeptide release. New lines of evidence suggest that TRPV2 may act as a Ca2+-overloading pathway associated with dystrophic cardiomyopathy, TRPV4 as a mediator of endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization, TRPM7 as a proproliferative vascular Mg2+ entry channel, and TRPP2 as a Ca2+-entry channel requisite for vascular integrity. This review attempts to provide an overview of the current knowledge on TRP proteins and discuss their possible roles in cardiovascular functions and diseases.

            Oxidative Stress-Responsive MicroRNAs in Heart Injury

            Branislav Kura, Barbara Szeiffova Bacova, Barbora Kaločayová … (2020)
            Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important molecules in the living organisms as a part of many signaling pathways. However, if overproduced, they also play a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, ischemia/reperfusion injury (e.g., myocardial infarction and heart transplantation), and heart failure. As a result of oxidative stress action, apoptosis, hypertrophy, and fibrosis may occur. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent important endogenous nucleotides that regulate many biological processes, including those involved in heart damage caused by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can alter the expression level of many miRNAs. These changes in miRNA expression occur mainly via modulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), sirtuins, calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFAT), or nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways. Up until now, several circulating miRNAs have been reported to be potential biomarkers of ROS-related cardiac diseases, including myocardial infarction, hypertrophy, ischemia/reperfusion, and heart failure, such as miRNA-499, miRNA-199, miRNA-21, miRNA-144, miRNA-208a, miRNA-34a, etc. On the other hand, a lot of studies are aimed at using miRNAs for therapeutic purposes. This review points to the need for studying the role of redox-sensitive miRNAs, to identify more effective biomarkers and develop better therapeutic targets for oxidative-stress-related heart diseases.

              Inhibiting MicroRNA-29a Protects Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Targeting SIRT1 and Suppressing Oxidative Stress and NLRP3-Mediated Pyroptosis Pathway

              Shoukun Ding, Donghai Liu, Lixia Wang … (2019)
              To investigate the effects of microRNA-29a (miR-29a) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its specific mechanisms, we used H9C2 myocardial cells to establish a myocardial ischemia model by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), and microRNA-29a inhibitor was interfered. Annexin V/propidium iodide and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of cell death. C57 mice were used to establish were used to establish the I/R injury model, and H&E staining was used to detect pathologic damage to heart tissues. The expressions of miR-29a silent information regulator factor 2-related enzyme 1 (SIRT1) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), as well as pyroptosis-related proteins were determined by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. The serum levels of 2-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), lactate dehydrogenase-1 (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB activity (CK-MB), IMA, and inflammatory factors in I/R rats were significantly up-regulated. In the I/R group, the expression of miR-29a was significantly up-regulated while SIRT1 was remarkably down-regulated. Dual luciferase reporter assay showed SIRT1 was a direct target of miR-29a. Inhibition of miR-29a significantly up-regulated the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α/nuclear respiratory factor-2 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase while remarkably down-regulating levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase and malondialdehyde in I/R. The oxidative stress that was induced by I/R injury was also suppressed by inhibition of miR-29a. All these effects of miR-29a inhibition were reversed by small interfering SIRT1. The in vitro H/R results showed that NLRP3-caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis was activated in H/R but was significantly inhibited by the inhibition of miR-29a. Inhibition of miR-29a improved myocardial I/R injury by targeting SIRT1 through suppressing oxidative stress and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: In this study, we showed for the first time that miR-29a could improve myocardial I/R injury through inhibition of pyroptosis.
