Long chain noncoding RNA-ROR promotes hypoxic injury of cardiomyocytes by targeting the miR-145/HAX-1 axis

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein coding RNAs greater than 200 nucleotides (nt) in length which have been shown to be significantly highly expressed in the heart tissue of mice undergoing thoracic aortic arch constriction (TAC). Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-protein-...

Description
Summary:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-protein coding RNAs greater than 200 nucleotides (nt) in length which have been shown to be significantly highly expressed in the heart tissue of mice undergoing thoracic aortic arch constriction (TAC). Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-protein-coding RNAs. Many miRNAs have been reported to play a key role in the progression of myocardial hypertrophy. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether lncRNA reprogramming regulators (ROR) promotes hypoxic injury in cardiomyocytes by targeting and regulating the miR-145/HS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX-1) axis. A mouse model of myocardial hypertrophy was established by conventional TAC method, and the cardiomyocytes were isolated. We transfected pcDNA3.0-ROR vector, pcDNA3.0-HAX-1 vector plasmid, and miR-145 simulant into cardiomyocytes with Lipofectamine 2000. Luciferase reporter gene was used to analyze the targeting relationship between genes. The expression of ROR in hypertrophic myocardium was significantly increased after phenylephrine (PE) intervention. After transfection with si-ROR, the ROR expression in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes treated with PE decreased significantly. Levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), creatine kinase (CK) decreased and superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased. The expression of miR-145 in cardiomyocytes was significantly down-regulated after PE treatment. In hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, after up-regulating the expression of miR-145, the relative messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expressions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) induced by PE decreased. Compared with the miR-NC group, wild type (WT)-ROR activity in the miR-145 group was significantly inhibited (P0.05). When cardiomyocytes were transfected with HAX-1 3'URT WT vector along with miR-145 simulant, miR-145 inhibitor, and their respective controls. Compared with the control groups, the luciferase activity of cells transfected with simulant was significantly decreased (P
