[摘要] 目的 觀察血管緊張素受體AT1相關的受體蛋白(APJ)的內(nèi)源性配體ELABELA(ELA)對心肌細胞在缺血缺氧條件下凋亡的影響,并探討miR-133a在其中的調(diào)控機制。 方法 將體外培養(yǎng)的心肌細胞分為Control組、ELA治療組、ELA+siAPJ組、ELA+siAPJ NC組、ELA+miR-133a inhibitor組、ELA+ miR-133a inhibitor NC組,在缺血缺氧條件(無血清,1%體積分數(shù)O2)下培養(yǎng)24 h。免疫熒光鑒定心肌細胞標志物心肌α肌動蛋白(α-SA)和心肌肌鈣蛋白T(cTnT)表達情況。流式細胞儀檢測各組細胞凋亡情況。Western blot、qRT-PCR檢測各組細胞APJ、miR-133a的表達情況。 結果 ①與Control組比較,ELA治療組細胞早期凋亡率與晚期凋亡率顯著減少(P < 0.01);②與對應的NC組細胞比較,ELA+siAPJ組、ELA+miR-133a inhibitor組細胞早期凋亡率與晚期凋亡率明顯增加(P < 0.01);③與Control組比較,ELA治療組細胞APJ的蛋白與mRNA表達量、miR-133a的mRNA表達量均明顯升高(P < 0.01);④采用siRNAs阻斷APJ的表達后,與ELA+siAPJ NC組比較,ELA+siAPJ組細胞APJ的蛋白與mRNA表達量、miR-133a的mRNA表達量均顯著減少(P < 0.01)。采用siRNAs阻斷miR-133a的表達后,ELA+miR-133a inhibitor組細胞APJ的蛋白與mRNA表達量與ELA+miR-133a inhibitor NC組比較,差異無統(tǒng)計學意義(P > 0.05),miR-133a的mRNA表達量顯著減少(P < 0.01)。 結論 ELA能夠抑制心肌細胞在缺血缺氧環(huán)境下的凋亡,此效應可能與其激活APJ之后上調(diào)miR-133a有關。

[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effect of ELABELA (ELA), which is a ligand of angiotensin receptor AT1 associated endogenous protein (APJ), on cardiomyocytes apoptosis under ischemia-hypoxia condition and to explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-133a. Methods The cardiomyocytes were cultured for 24 h under ischemia-hypoxia conditions (without serum, 1% O2) and divided into control group, ELA treatment group, ELA+siAPJ group, ELA+siAPJ NC group, ELA+miR-133a inhibitor group and ELA+miR-133a inhibitor NC group. The expression of myocardial α-actin (α-SA) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were observed by immunofluorescence. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of APJ and miR-133a. Results ①Compared with the control group, the rate of early and late apoptosis in ELA treatment group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01); ②compared with corresponding NC group, the early and late apoptosis rate of ELA+siAPJ group and ELA+miR-133a inhibitor group were significantly increased (P < 0.01); ③the expression of APJ and miR-133a in ELA treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group after 24 h culture (P < 0.01); ④after blocking the expression of APJ and miR-133a by siRNA, compared with that in the corresponding NC group, the protein and mRNA expression level of APJ and mRNA expression level of miR-133a were significantly decreased in ELA+siAPJ group (P < 0.01). The protein and mRNA expression level of APJ did not change significantly in ELA+miR-133a inhibitor group (P > 0.05), but the mRNA expression level of miR-133a was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Conclusion ELA could inhibit the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in ischemic and hypoxic environment. This effect might be related to up-regulation of miR-133a after activation of APJ.
