BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRs) are implicated in heart failure (HF). Thereby, we aim to uncover the role of miR-144-3p. METHODS: Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced HF model was constructed in rats and cardiomyocytes H9C2, and the cardiac function was determined using ultrasound cardiogram.

Mitochondrial oxidative injury can result in many cardiovascular diseases including cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study was designed to investigate whether microRNA-34a (miR-34a) influences cardiac I/R or hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury by regulating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway from oxidative injury. In vivo , myocardial infarction size was examined by Evan blue/TTC staining. Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL assay. Heart function was measured by echocardiography. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) were evaluated...

Dexmedetomidine (Dex) protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The differential expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is associated with myocardial injury, but whether the lncRNA colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) is associated with Dex-mediated myocardial protection remains unclear. In this study, a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) H9C2 model was established to simulate the in vitro characteristics of I/R. CCAT1 and microRNA (miR)-8063 expression levels in H/R H9C2 cells pretreated with Dex were determined via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...

Acute myocardial infarction is a leading cause of death worldwide, while restoration of blood flow to previously ischemic myocardium may lead to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Accumulated evidence shows that microRNAs play important roles in cardiovascular diseases. However, the potential role of microRNA-503 (miR-503) in myocardial I/R injury is little known. Thus, this study is aimed at determining whether and how miR-503 affects myocardial I/R injury in vivo and in vitro . A mouse model of myocardial I/R injury and H9c2 cell model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury were established...

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the main causes of disability and death in the world, leading to myocarditis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Studies have shown that microRNA (miRNA) is involved in myocarditis and apoptosis. The main purpose of this study was to explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-223-3p on myocarditis and apoptosis after MI. Methods: We cultured H9c2 cells and detected the expression of miR-223-3p in cells treated with different concentrations of H2 O2 ...

Introduction: Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is one of the main active components isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Astragalus membranaceus . The present study was designed to investigate whether the regulation of microRNA-1 (miR-1)-mediated inflammation and autophagy contributes to the protective effect of AS-IV against cardiac dysfunction in rats treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Methods: Animal model of cardiac dysfunction in rats or cellular model of injured H9c2 heart cell line was established by using LPS...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disease and can result in substantial disability. The current study explored the potentials of long noncoding RNA- (lncRNA-) circular RNA- (circRNA-) microRNA- (miRNA-) messenger RNA (mRNA) networks in HCM. Firstly, HCM-related microarray data were procured from the GEO database, with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) obtained. HCM-related target genes were retrieved in combination with GeneCards and CTD databases, and candidate target genes were subsequently obtained by intersection screening...

MiRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) responsible for post-transcriptional regulation of target genes. Accumulating evidence indicates that miRNAs are implicated in the progression of cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms how these miRNAs regulate cardiac hypertrophy is useful for diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression. In this study, to investigate the effect of miR-27a-3p, we established an in vitro cardiac hypertrophy model by treating H9c2 cardiomyocytes with angiotensin II (Ang II) and an in vivo model through the chronic infusion of Ang II into mice...

Objective: Many studies have reported that microRNAs (miRs) are involved in the regulation of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. MiR-194-5p has been reported significantly upregulated in patients with myocardial infarction; however, its role in myocardial diseases is still unclear. Various stimuluses can trigger the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and it may activate the apoptosis signals eventually. This study aims to explore the regulatory role of miR-194-5p in DOX-induced ER stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis...

OBJECTIVE: The nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NFE2)-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is associated with doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac injury. It has been reported that microRNA-24-3p (miR-24-3p) may regulate the Keapl by mRNA degradation, whereas Keapl can suppress the activation of Nrf2.

In the heart tissue of acutely Trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice miR-145-5p and miR-146b-5p are, respectively, downregulated and upregulated. Here, we used the H9C2 rat cardiomyoblast cell line infected with the Colombian T. cruzi strain to investigate the parasite-host cell interplay, focusing on the regulation of miR-145-5p and miR-146b-5p expression. Next, we explored the effects of interventions with the trypanosomicidal drug Benznidazole (Bz) alone or combined with Pentoxifylline (PTX), a methylxanthine derivative shown to modulate immunological and cardiac abnormalities in a model of chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy, on parasite load and expression of miR-145-5p and miR-146b-5p...
