目的:探讨微小RNA-199a-Sp(miR-199a-Sp)在心肌肥大模型中的表达及对大鼠心肌细胞肥大的调控作用。方法:用腹主动脉缩窄术(TAAC)构建心肌肥大大鼠模型,体外培养新生Sprague-Dawley大鼠心肌细胞,用血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)诱导心肌细胞肥大,荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)检测动物血浆和心肌细胞miR-199a-5p含量;合成大鼠miR·199a-5p的拟似物(mimic)和抑制剂(inhibitor),用脂质体转染mimic和inhibitor进入心肌细胞,用qRT-PCR检测肥大基因心房钠尿因子和B-肌球蛋白重链mRNA的表达变化;用氚标亮氨酸掺入量检测细胞蛋白合成速率变化;用细胞荧光染色法检测细胞表面积变化。结果:TAAC术后28d,大鼠血浆miR.199a-Sp的含量较对照组显著增加(P〈0.05),在AngII诱导肥大的心肌细胞中,miR-199a-Sp的表达量也较对照组显著增加。在心肌细胞中过表达miR-199a-Sp,能使细胞肥大基因表达增加,蛋白合成速率加快,细胞表面积增大,而使用inhibitor阻遏miR-199a-Sp的作用后,能抑制AngII诱导的肥大基因表达、细胞蛋白合成速率和细胞表面积的变化。结论:心肌肥大动物和细胞模型中miR-199a-Sp的表达发生上调。过表达miR-199a-Sp能促进体外培养的心肌细胞肥大,而阻遏miR-199a-Sp的作用能抑制AngII诱导的心肌细胞肥大O
AIM: To investigate the expression of miR-199a-Sp in rat cardiomyocyte hypertrophy models. METHODS: The in vivo cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model was established by transverse abdominal aortic constriction (TAAC) and the in vitro model was induced by angiotensin II. The content of miR-199a-Sp was detected by qRT-PCR in the plasma of the TAAC rats and in the cardiomyocytes (CM) of the newborn rats. The CM was isolated and transfected with miR-199a-Sp mimic or inhibitor at concentration of 100 nmol/L by Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. The mRNA levels of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and g-myosin heavy chain (13-MHC) were detected by qRT-PCR. Tritium-labeled leucine incorporation was employed to determine the protein synthesis rate in the CM. The method of cyto-fluorescent staining was applied to measure the changes of the CM surface area. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the content of miR 199a-Sp significantly increased in the TAAC rats and in the CM induced by angiotensin II. In addition, over-expression of miR-199a-Sp in the CM up-regnlated the mRNA expression of ANF and 13-MHC, accelerated the protein synthesis rate and enlarged the CM surface area. In the CM transfected with miR-199a-Sp inhibitor following induced by angiotensin II, the hypertrophy effect receded inversely (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Over-expression of miR,199a-Sp may promote cardio- myocyte hypertrophy, and repression of miR-i99a-Sp may inhibit cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in the CM.
