Dysregulation of long non-coding RNA (IncRNA) antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) is associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the mechanisms underlying this association, which is currently poorly understood, to the best of our knowledge. The current study used an in vitro myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R) model, in which H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), which demonstrated that ANRIL expression was downregulated and that ANRIL positively regulated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression following H/R injury. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that ANRIL upregulated SIRT1 expression by sponging microRNA-181a (miR-181a). In addition, ANRIL overexpression reduced lactate dehydrogenase release and apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes exposed to H/R, indicating that ANRIL prevented H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury. Moreover, both miR-181a overexpression and SIRT1 knockdown significantly decreased the protective effects of ANRIL on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, thus demonstrating that SIRT1 upregulation via sponging miR-181a is a critical mechanism that mediates the function of ANRIL. These results provided a novel mechanistic insight into the role of ANRIL in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes and suggested that the ANRIL/miR-181a/SIRT1 axis may be a therapeutic target for reducing MI/R injury.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effects of erythropoietin sustained-release gelatin hydrogel microspheres (EPO-GHM) on a murine model of hindlimb ischemia and related mechanisms. METHODS:Fifty two ten weeks old male C57BL/6J mice were assigned to 5 groups: sham-operated group (the right femoral artery suture was passed through the right femoral artery but not tied, n=8); saline group (right femoral artery ligation and intramuscular injection of saline at a dose of 4 ml/kg into the right hind limb, n=12); EPO group(right femoral artery ligation and intramuscular injection of EPO at a dose of 5 000 IU/kg into the right hind limb, n=12), empty GHM group (right femoral artery ligation and intramuscular injection of empty GHM at a dose of 4 ml/kg into the right hind limb, n=8); EPO-GHM group(right femoral artery ligation and intramuscular injection of EPO-GHM at a dose of 5 000 IU/kg into the right hind limb, n=12). The blood flow ratio of ischemic limb (right)/nonischemic limb (left) was measured using a laser Doppler perfusion imager. After 8 weeks, immunohistochemical analysis were used to evaluate the vessel density (vessel density of CD31 positive), arteriole density(vessel density of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) positive) and muscle area(HHF35 positive area). The proliferating index of vessels was evaluated by double immunofluorescent labeling to evaluate effect of EPO-GHM on angiogenesis of ischemia limb. Western blot was used to evaluate the protein expression of EPO receptor, protein kinase B(AKT), p-AKT, endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS), p-eNOS and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2). RESULTS:(1) Eight weeks later, the blood flow ratio of ischemic limb/nonischemic limb was significantly higher in the EPO-GHM group compared with other groups(0.810±0.080, 0.563±0.051, 0.570±0.056 and 0.561±0.052 respectively, all P<0.05). (2) CD31 antibody positive and α-SAM antibody positive densities were higher in the EPO-GHM group compared with other groups(P<0.01 or 0.05). (3)HHF35 positive area in saline group, EPO group, empty GHM group and EPO-GHM group were smaller than that of sham-operated group(all P<0.05). HHF35 positive area in saline group, EPO group, empty GHM group and EPO-GHM group were similar(all P>0.05). (4)The proliferating index of vessels was higher in the EPO-GHM group compared with other groups(P<0.01 or 0.05). (5) Compared with other groups, the protein levels of EPO receptor, AKT, p-AKT, p-eNOS and MMP-2 were significantly higher in EPO-GHM group(P<0.01 or 0.05) and level of eNOS was similar among five groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:RESULTS from present study suggest EPO-GHM could improve blood perfusion of ischemia limb in mice through increasing capillary and arteriolar densities and these beneficial effects are possibly mediated by EPOR up-regulation and AKT/p-eNOS/MMP-2 signaling pathway activation.
Objective: To study the impact of PDE5 shRNA on myocardial cells apoptosis at early stage post-MI. Methods:Myocardial infarction(MI) was induced in mice by left coronary artery ligation. Mice were randomly assigned to test group(n=10), in which adenovirus vector with PDE5 sh RNA particles were injected along the anterior and posterior LV wall, and model group(n=10), in which adenovirus vector without PDE5 shRNA particles were injected in the same manner. One week post-MI, apoptosis was evaluated using the TUNEL method, Proteins were extracted from the left ventricular of heart, level of PDE5 expression was detected using Western Bloting, and level of cGMP or PKG activity in the left ventricular of heart was evaluated using ELISA. Results: One week post-MI, compared to model group, test group had reduced number of apoptotic cells in infarct and periinfarct areas, and significantly reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis in the peri-infarct regions(P0.05). Compared to model group, the level of PDE5 significantly decreased and the levels of c GMP and PKG significantly increased in the test group(P0.05). Conclusions: The present study suggests the protective effects of PDE5 sh RNA on acute myocardial infarction, significantly inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis through possible activating cGMP/PKG signaling pathway.
Introduction Treatment with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference therapy targeting phosphodiesterase 5a after myocardial infarction (MI) has been shown to mitigate post-MI heart failure. We investigated the mechanisms that underpin the beneficial effects of PDE5a inhibition through shRNA on post-MI heart failure. Methods An adenoviral vector with an shRNA sequence inserted was adopted for the inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5a (Ad-shPDE5a) in vivo and in vitro. Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in male C57BL/6J mice by left coronary artery ligation, and immediately after that, the Ad-shPDE5a was injected intramyocardially around the MI region and border areas. Results Four weeks post-MI, the Ad-shPDE5a-treated mice showed significant mitigation of the left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction compared to control mice. Infarction size and fibrosis were also significantly reduced in Ad-shPDE5a-treated mice. Additionally, Ad-shPDE5a treatment decreased the MI-induced inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and transforming growth factor-β1, which was confirmed in vitro in Ad-shPDE5a transfected myofibroblasts cultured under oxygen glucose deprivation. Finally, Ad-shPDE5a treatment was found to activate the myocardial Akt signaling pathway in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Conclusion These findings indicate that PDE5a inhibition by Ad-shPDE5a via the Akt signal pathway could be of significant value in the design of future therapeutics for post-MI heart failure.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the impact of PDE5shRNA on cardiac remodeling and heart function following myocardial infarction in mice.METHODS:Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in mice by left coronary artery ligation. Mice were randomly assigned to sham group (n = 6), PDE5shRNA group (n = 12), common adenovirus group (n = 15) and DMEM group (n = 8). Four weeks post-MI, the survival rate was evaluated. Cardiac function was examined by echocardiography. HE staining and Masson staining were used to evaluate the myocardial infarction size and fibrosis. The number of blood vessels was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, PDE5 protein expression in the left ventricular was detected using Western blot, level of cGMP or PKG activity in the left ventricle was evaluated with ELISA.RESULTS:Four weeks post-MI, all mice survived in the sham group, 3(37%) mice died in the DMEM group, 1 (8%) died in the PDE5shRNA group and 5 died in the common adenovirus group (33%). Infarct size was significantly reduced in PDE5shRNA group compared with the common adenovirus group and DMEM group [(25.4 ± 2.9)% vs. (42.0 ± 3.2)% and (43.4 ± 2.6) %, P < 0.05]. Cardiac function was significantly improved in PDE5shRNA group compared to common adenovirus group and DMEM group[LVFS: (21.1 ± 3.7)% vs. (14.2 ± 2.9)% and (14.22 ± 2.91)%, all P < 0.05; LVEF: (48.2 ± 7.1)% vs. (34.6 ± 6.2)% and (38.1 ± 2.8)%, all P < 0.05; LVESD: (3.87 ± 0.45) mm vs.(4.91 ± 0.62) mm and (4.63 ± 0.37) mm, all P < 0.05]. The blood vessel density was also higher in PDE5shRNA group compared with common adenovirus group (infarct area:14.3 ± 2.0 vs. 6.6 ± 1.2, P < 0.05; periinfarct area: 23.6 ± 2.1 vs. 13.7 ± 2.4, P < 0.05). Compared with common adenovirus group, level of PDE5 was significantly downregulated and level of cGMP or PKG was significantly upregulated in PDE5shRNA group (all P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Present study suggests PDE5shRNA improves cardiac function and attenuates cardiac remodeling through reducing infarction size and cardiac fibrosis and these beneficial effects are possibly mediated by activating cGMP/PKG signaling pathway.

冠状动脉分叉病变占总的经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)的15%~20%,探索新的有效的冠状动脉分叉病变治疗技术仍然是一条很漫长的路[1-2]。分叉病变的介入治疗是介入治疗领域的一个难点,其成功率低,主要不良心脏事件[包括围术期心肌梗死(MI)、靶病变血运重建(TLR)、支架内血栓]发生率高[3-5]。因此,分叉病变介入治疗技术的关键是同时保护主支和边支,降低围术期并发症的发生率及减少TLR。
BACKGROUND:It is not clear yet how tadalafil affects nonischemic cardiomyopathy, although its beneficial effects on acute myocardial infarction are well-known. We investigated tadalafil's beneficial effects on nonischemic cardiomyopathy and the specific mechanisms of its effects.METHODS:Cardiomyopathy was induced in mice by a single intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg). In some cases, tadalafil (4 mg/kg/day, p.o., 14 days) was started simultaneously. After two weeks, cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, then all of the mice were killed and cardiac specimens were subjected for hemotoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot.RESULTS:Two weeks later, left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction were apparent in mice given doxorubicin but were significantly attenuated by tadalafil treatment. Tadalafil also protected hearts against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte atrophy/degeneration and myocardial fibrosis. No doxorubicin-induced apoptotic effects were seen between groups. Cardiac cGMP level was lower in the doxorubicin-treated group, however it was significantly increased with tadalafil treatment. Compared to the control group, the myocardial expression of 3 sarcomeric proteins, myosin heavy chain, troponin I, and desmin were significantly decreased in the doxorubicin-treated group, which were restored by the tadalafil treatment.CONCLUSIONS:The present study indicates a protective effect of tadalafil mainly through cGMP signaling pathway against doxorubicin-induced nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

Objective To study the protective effects and its mechanisms of tadalafil on doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in mice.Methods Mice were randomly assigned to three groups: model and test group(both n=16): a single intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin 15 mg·kg-1 to induce cardiomyopathy;normal group(n=10): a single intraperitoneal injection of same volume of saline.On that basis,test group was treated with tadalafil 4 mg·kg-1,once a day,for 14 days,orally viagauge.After two weeks,echocardiograms were then recorded,histological analysis and the cardiac cGMP level were detected.Results Two weeks later,indicators of test group and model group were as follows: left ventricular end-diastolic dimension were(3.07±0.10),(3.50±0.20)mm;left ventricular end-systolic dimension were(2.17±0.10),(2.82±0.17)mm;left ventricular ejection fraction were(57.85±2.03)%,(46.07±2.96)%;left ventricular percent fractional shortening were(29.20±3.05)%,(19.41±2.59)%;the transverse diameter of cardiomyocytes were(14.24±0.39),(13.78±0.36)μm;cardiac fibrosis were(2.35±0.21)%,(5.16±0.36)%;the levels of cGMP were(0.15±0.01),(0.05±0.01)pg·mg-1.There were significiant compared with model group(P<0.05).The myocardial expression of myosin heavy chain,troponin I and desmin were significantly increased in the test group.No significant difference apoptotic effects were seen between each group.Conclusion The protective effects of tadalafil against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy,mitigatting doxorubicin-induced impairment of cardiac function in mice,significantly attenuatting doxorubicin-induced atrophic degeneration of cardiomyocyte and myocardial fibrosis through possible activating cGMP signaling pathway.
BACKGROUND:Adverse cardiac event rates are higher for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of bifurcation lesions. Currently, provisional stenting or a simple stenting strategy is the standard treatment for bifurcated lesions, but its performance remains limited because of a risk of side-branch (SB) closure and a higher rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR). We report a new provisional side-branch stenting strategy to treat coronary bifurcation lesions using a "balloon-stent kissing" technique (BSKT).METHODS:From January 2011 to December 2012, a total of 60 patients with 60 bifurcation lesions underwent PCI using BSKT. Baseline and postprocedural quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analyses were performed. Procedural and immediate clinical outcomes were reviewed.RESULTS:The majority of patients presented with acute coronary syndrome (98%) and had true bifurcation lesions (98%). TIMI-3 flow was established in 100% of the main branch and SB lesions. QCA revealed preservation of the bifurcation angle after PCI (pre PCI, 57.0 ± 16.3; post PCI, 60.5 ± 16.1; P=.24). Five patients (8%) had lesions that required rewiring and 2 patients (3%) required provisional stenting of the SB. No SB loss occurred during PCI. No patient had a periprocedural myocardial infarction, nor was the balloon or wire entrapped during any PCI.CONCLUSIONS:As a new coronary bifurcation provisional stenting method, the BSKT is associated with a high procedural success rate, improved SB patency, and a low rate of immediate cardiac events.
