Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-30c on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury and its underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods In our study, rat myocardial IR injury model was established and hemodynamic examination was performed. Moreover, the myocardial infarct size was detected by TTC staining. The pathologic change of myocardial tissues was measured by HE staining. The myocardial cell apoptosis was measured by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. The expression of miR-30c and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was detected by qRT-PCR. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA. The expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, p-IκBα, IκBα, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 and SIRT1 were detected by western blot. The luciferase activity was measured by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Interaction between miR-30c and SIRT1 were analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation assay.Results Our results showed that rat myocardial IR injury model was successfully established and IR injury induced myocardial injury in rats. miR-30c increased the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α and myocardial cell apoptosis by activating NF-κB pathway. In addition, we also confirmed that SIRT1 was the target gene of miR-30c. SIRT1 could reverse the effect of miR-30c on the process of inflammation and apoptosis, as well as the activation of NF-κB pathway in myocardial cells.Conclusions Our study demonstrated that miR-30c could promote myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury through activating SIRT1 mediating NF-κB pathway.

Background/Aims: This study was developed to investigate a potential therapeutic method for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury involving the promotion of miR-24-3p expression. Methods: Microarray analysis was used to screen differentially expressed genes in a myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury mouse model. Gene set enrichment analysis was utilized to determine vital signaling pathways. Targeting verification was conducted with a luciferase reporter assay. Myocardial I/R injury was developed in mice, and the expression levels of RIPK1 and miR-24-3p were investigated by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Hemodynamic parameters and the activity of serum myocardial enzymes were measured to evaluate cardiac function. Infarct area was observed through HE and TTC staining. Myocardial cell apoptosis was examined by TUNEL staining and caspase-3 activity analysis. Results: RIPK1 was an upregulated mRNA found by microarray analysis and a verified target of the downregulated miRNA miR-24-3p. The upregulation of RIPK1 (1.8-fold) and the downregulation of miR-24-3p (0.3-fold) were confirmed in I/R mice. RIPK1 led to impaired cardiac function indexes, increased infarct area and cell apoptosis, while miR-24-3p could reverse the injury by regulating RIPK1. The TNF signaling pathway was proven to be involved in myocardial I/R injury through the detection of the dysregulation of related proteins. Conclusion: In conclusion, RIPK1 was upregulated and miR-24-3p was downregulated in a myocardial I/R injury mouse model. RIPK1 could aggravate myocardial I/R injury via the TNF signaling pathway, while miR-24-3p could suppress RIPK1 and therefore exert cardioprotective effects in myocardial I/R injury.
