摘要
MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are endogenous 20 -23 -nucleotide (nt) -containing small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression in diverse biological and pathological processes,including cell differentiation,proliferation, apoptosis,heart disease and human cancers.We investigated miR-133 expression and its potential role in a high glucose-induced myocardium in Streptozotocin(STZ)-induced C57bl6 mouse model of diabetes.miR-133 expression was significantly increased in myocardium in a time-dependent manner after STZ treatment.IGF1 receptor(IGF1R) protein was dramatically decreased without obvious up-regulation of its mRNA level post hyperglycemia.IGF1R protein level was decreaed with increase of its transcript level in neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes induced by high D-glucose concentration. Dual luciferase assay revealed that miR133 could interact with specific sites in the 3’UTR of IGF1R gene.p-ERK and p-Akt levels were reduced in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes over-expressed with miR133 after IGF treatment.Introduction of functional miR-133,IGF1R siRNA into neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes could enhance cardiomyocyte apoptosis.These results implicate that miR-133 is involved in contributing to high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via regulating IGF1R expression post-transcriptionally.
