LncRNA ZFAS1/miR-186-5p axis is involved in oxidative stress inhibition of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by targeting BTG2.

OBJECTIVE: To probe the involvement of long noncoding RNA zinc finger antisense 1 (ZFAS1)/microRNA (miR)-186-5p axis in inhibiting oxidative stress in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) by targeting B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2).

METHODS: The MIRI mice model was established by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery in C57BL/6 mice. The in vitro MIRI model was constructed by hypoxia and reoxygenation of HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the extent of myocardial injury in mice were detected. The apoptosis rates, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in HL-1 cells were assessed. The relationship among ZFAS1, miR-186-5p, and BTG2 was verified.

RESULTS: High ZFAS1 and BTG2 levels and low miR-186-5p levels were demonstrated in I/R-injured myocardial tissues and in H/R-treated cardiomyocytes. Interference with ZFAS1 or elevation of miR-186-5p inhibited apoptosis and oxidative stress in H/R model cardiomyocytes and I/R-injured myocardial tissues. Overexpressing BTG2 impaired the ameliorative effects of miR-186-5p on MIRI. ZFAS1 negatively regulated miR-186-5p expression by acting as a molecular sponge. miR-186-5p targeted to regulate BTG2 negatively.

CONCLUSION: Interfering with ZFAS1 can upregulate miR-186-5p and thus inhibit BTG2 expression, thereby ameliorating MIRI.
