摘要:

目的 探讨长链非编码RNA(LncRNA)牛磺酸上调基因1(TUG1)通过调节miR-181b-5p/程序性细胞死亡蛋白4(PDCD4)轴对高糖诱导的心肌细胞凋亡的影响。方法 采用高糖(25 mmol/L葡萄糖)在体外构建糖尿病心肌病(DCM)细胞模型。AC16细胞分为NG组、HG组、HG+sh-NC组、HG+sh-TUG1组、HG+miR-NC组、HG+miR-181b-5p组、HG+sh-TUG1+anti-miR-NC组、HG+sh-TUG1+anti-miR-181b-5p组、HG+miR-181b-5p+pcDNA组、HG+miR-181b-5p+pc-PDCD4组。细胞计数试剂盒-8(CCK-8)法检测细胞活力;乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)测定试剂盒检测LDH释放总量;采用实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测TUG1、miR-181b-5p和PDCD4 mRNA表达;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡;Western blot检测B细胞淋巴瘤2-相关X(Bax)、活化的胱天蛋白酶3(cleaved caspase 3)和PDCD4蛋白表达;caspase-Glo3检测试剂盒评估caspase 3活性;双萤光素酶报告基因实验验证TUG1或PDCD4与miR-181b-5p的靶向关系。结果 与NG组比较,HG组细胞活性降低,LDH释放总量、凋亡率、Bax、cleaved caspase 3表达及caspase 3活性升高(P<0.05),敲低TUG1或上调miR-181b-5p表达可拮抗上述变化(P<0.05)。抑制miR-181b-5p可减轻TUG1沉默对高糖处理下心肌细胞活力和凋亡的影响(P<0.05)。PDCD4过表达可减弱miR-181b-5p上调对高糖处理的心肌细胞活力的促进作用和对凋亡的抑制作用。TUG1可通过吸附miR-181b-5p上调PDCD4表达(P<0.05)。结论 TUG1通过下调miR-181b-5p、上调PDCD4表达促进高糖诱导的心肌细胞凋亡。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the impact of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) on high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating miR-181b-5p/programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) axis. Methods Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) cell model was established in vitro with high glucose (HG,25 mmol/L glucose). AC16 cells were divided into the NG (5.5 mmol/L glucose) group, the HG group, the HG+sh-NC group, the HG+sh-TUG1 group, the HG+miR-NC group, the HG+miR-181b-5p group, the HG+sh-TUG1+anti-miR-NC group, the HG+sh-TUG1+anti-miR-181b-5p group, the HG+miR-181b-5p+pcDNA group and HG+miR-181b-5p+pc-PDCD4 group. The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) method was applied to detect cell viability. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was applied to detect LDH release. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was applied to detect expression levels of TUG1, miR-181b-5p and PDCD4 mRNA. Flow cytometry was applied to detect apoptosis. Western blot assay was applied to detect levels of B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X (Bax), activated caspase 3 (cleaved caspase 3) and PDCD4 proteins. Caspase-Glo3 assay was applied to assess caspase 3 activity. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to verify the targeting relationship between TUG1 or PDCD4 and miR-181b-5p. Results Compared with the NG group, the cell activity decreased in the HG group, and LDH release, apoptosis rate, Bax, cleaved caspase 3 expression and caspase 3 activity increased (P<0.05), which could be antagonized by TUG1 knockdown or miR-181b-5p overexpression (P<0.05). Inhibition of miR-181b-5p was able to alleviate the impact of TUG1 silencing on cardiomyocyte viability and apoptosis under high glucose treatment (P<0.05). The overexpression of PDCD4 attenuated the promotion effect of miR-181b-5p up-regulation on the viability of cardiomyocytes treated with high glucose and the inhibitory effect on apoptosis. TUG1 was able to increase the expression of PDCD4 through adsorption of miR-181b-5p (P<0.05). Conclusion TUG1 promotes high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by down-regulating miR-181b-5p and up-regulating PDCD4.
