TL;DR

It is demonstrated that the downregulation of circ_0001112 promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis by sponging miR-324-5p and upregulating CDK6 expression in MI.

Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI) usually results in severe heart failure (HF), and patients suffer from the repercussions of MI, elucidation of the pathological basis of MI is crucial to optimize the prevention and treatment of MI. This study investigated the role of dysregulated circ_0001112 in MI. In our study, circ_0001112 was significantly upregulated in the MI model and by hypoxia treatment. Circ_0001112 overexpression inhibited hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Luciferase assay showed that circ_0001112 sponged miR-324-5p that regulated the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6). Ago2-miRNP immunoprecipitation further confirmed that the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of CDK6 was targeted by miR-324-5p. Either miR-324-5p overexpression or CDK6 knockdown prevented cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by circ_0001112 overexpression. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the downregulation of circ_0001112 promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis by sponging miR-324-5p and upregulating CDK6 expression in MI.

The cardiac protective human circular RNA circKLHL20_009 sponges miR-31-5p to ameliorate myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis through suppressing β-catenin signaling.

The expression of the circRNA circKLHL20_009 was significantly upregulated in the myocardium of patients with heart failure and in human cardiomyocytes treated with angiotensin II and an artificial circRNA sponge, circSPmiR31, effectively mitigated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis by suppressing miR-31-5p binding to Dk...

RGS6 drives myocyte loss in the diabetic heart via a KLF4/miR-30e/CaMKII-dependent mechanism.

It is demonstrated that high glucose triggers regulator of G protein signaling 6 (RGS6) up-regulation in both human and murine cardiomyocytes, the hearts of hyperglycemic mice, and cardiac tissue samples from individuals with heart failure and a history of diabetes point to RGS6/KLF4 as key sources of pathogenic cardia...

Age-related loss of miR-378d promotes cardiomyocyte senescence via the SH3GL2/Calpain-1/ROS signaling axis.

Cardiac aging is the major risk factor and important pathogenic foundation for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the elderly. Various miRNAs have been reported to participate in this process. However, the precise mechanisms through which distinct miRNAs contribute to cardiac aging remain to be fully elucidated. In this...

Homeobox a4 is proapoptotic in the AC16 human cardiomyocyte cell line and a key effector of the MIAT/miR-150 axis in murine myocardial infarction

MicroRNA-150-5p (miR-150) was correlated with heart failure (HF) severity in humans. Left ventricular homeobox a4 (HOXA4) was upregulated in patients with HF. Gain-of-function mutants in myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) were associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in humans. O...

MYZAP promotes angiogenesis by targeting RND1 after myocardial infarction

Summary Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of death due to cardiovascular disease worldwide. role of MYZAP in angiogenesis remains unclear. The expression of MYZAP in MI was significantly decreased. Endothelial-specific overexpression of MYZAP improved cardiac function, increased angiogenesis, and res...

Imbalance of the CaSR-SIRT3 axis exacerbates ventricular remodeling by promoting macrophage M1 polarization via the AMPK signaling pathway post-myocardial infarction.

Ventricular remodeling post-myocardial infarction (MI) is closely associated with immune responses; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated whether the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates macrophage (MΦ) polarization via the SIRT3-AMPK axis and its role in post-M...
