Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of down-regulation of miR-106a-5p on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cardiomyocyte damage and Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. Methods Different concentration gradients of H2O2 (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μmol/L H2O2) were used to treat rat cardiomyocytes H9c2. Rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 were divided into the control group, the H2O2 group (100 μmol/L H2O2), the miR-106a-5p NC group (100 μmol/L H2O2+ transfected with miR-106a-5p NC) and the miR-106a-5p siRNA group (100 μmol/L H2O2+ transfected with miR-106a-5p siRNA). Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) method was used to detect the expression of miR-106a-5p. CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. LDH content, GSH-Px activity in cell culture fluid, MDA content and SOD activity in cells were detected. Western blotting (WB) was used to detect the expression of JAK1/STAT3 pathway related proteins in cells. Results According to the H2O2 concentration gradient experiment, 100 μmol/L H2O2 was selected for subsequent experiments. Compared with the control group, the proliferation inhibition rate, apoptosis rate, miR-106a-5p level, MDA content, p-JAK1/JAK1, p-STAT3/STAT3 protein levels in H9c2 cells and LDH content in cell culture fluid were significantly increased in the H2O2 group (P<0.05). The GSH-Px activity in cell culture fluid and SOD activity in cells significantly reduced (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in above indicators between the H2O2 group and the miR-106a-5p NC group (P>0.05). Compared with the miR-106a-5p NC group, the proliferation inhibition rate, apoptosis rate, miR-106a-5p level, MDA content, p-JAK1/JAK1, p-STAT3/STAT3 protein levels in H9c2 cells and LDH content in cell culture fluid were reduced significantly in the miR-106a-5p siRNA group (P<0.05), and the GSH-Px activity in cell culture fluid and SOD activity in cells increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Down-regulation of miR-106a-5p can inhibit the activation of JAK1/STAT3 pathway, increase the level of anti-oxidative stress and reduce H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte damage.
