Background: MiR-27 has been found to present an overt myocardial expression during cardiogenesis. However, whether miR-27 involves in myocarditis development and the possible molecular mechanism remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological characteristic of miR-27 in LPS-damaged H9c2 cells.
Methods: H9c2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 μg/ml) for 12 h to form cell injury. MiR-27 mimic and inhibitor were used to up-regulate or down-regulate miR-27 expression. MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis were conducted to test cell viability and apoptosis. The relative RNA expression level of miR-27 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) was determined by qRT-PCR. Luciferase reporter gene assay was utilized to confirm the interaction between miR-27 and ICAM1. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression levels.
Results: We observed that LPS treatment significantly decreased the level of miR-27 in H9c2 cells. Moreover, LPS exposure suppressed cell viability, promoted cell apoptosis and increased the relative expression of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα/IκBα. Up-regulation of miR-27 increased cell proliferation and reduced cell apoptosis, while down-regulation of miR-27 suppressed cell growth and promoted cell apoptosis. ICAM1 was predicted and verified as a target of miR-27, and the expression of ICAM1 is negatively regulated by miR-27. The relative expression of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα/IκBα was dramatically decreased by miR-27 mimic and increased by miR-27 inhibitor.
Conclusion: Our study illustrated that up-regulation of miR-27 exhibits a protective effect on LPS-damaged H9c2 cells, which may be achieved by regulating ICAM1 and NF-κB signaling.
