目的

探究LncRNA MEG3在动脉粥样硬化(AS)发展中的作用及潜在机制。

方法

培养人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs),采用氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)诱导建立内皮细胞损伤模型。ox-LDL干预HUVECs为ox-LDL组;分别用sh-NC、sh-MEG3、sh-MEG3和in- miR- 424-5p、sh-MEG3和oe-FoxO1转染后ox-LDL干预HUVECs设为ox-LDL+sh-NC组、ox-LDL+sh-MEG3组、ox-LDL+sh-MEG3+in-miR-424-5p组、ox-LDL+sh-MEG3+oe-FoxO1组;ox-LDL相同的溶剂处理HUVECs为对照。采用qRT-PCR法检测LncRNA MEG3、miR-424-5p和FoxO1 mRNA表达水平;采用CCK-8和EdU法检测细胞增殖;采用流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡;小管形成实验检测血管生成;Western blot法检测FoxO1蛋白、血管生成相关蛋白NOS3、VEGFA和CXCL12的水平;双荧光素酶实验检测LncRNA MEG3miR-424-5p靶标关系;建立AS小鼠模型,油红O染色检测小鼠AS病变面积;伊文思蓝染色评估血管再内皮化程度。两组间比较采用t检验,多组间比较采用单因素方差分析,进一步两两比较采用SNK-q检验。

结果

与对照比较,ox-LDL组LncRNA MEG3表达(2.35±0.24比1.03±0.04)、FoxO1 mRNA和蛋白水平及细胞凋亡率上升(P均< 0.05);miR-424-5p表达(0.37±0.05比1.03±0.08)、细胞活力、EdU阳性细胞数、小管管型分枝数、NOS3、VEGFA和CXCL12蛋白水平均下降(P均< 0.05)。与ox-LDL+sh-NC组比较,ox-LDL+sh-MEG3LncRNA MEG3表达、FoxO1 mRNA和蛋白水平及细胞凋亡率下降;miR-424-5p表达、细胞活力、EdU阳性细胞数、小管管型分枝数及NOS3、VEGFA和CXCL12蛋白水平均上升(P均< 0.05)。抑制miR-424-5p或过表达FoxO1可部分逆转LncRNA MEG3沉默对ox-LDL刺激HUVECs的影响(P < 0.05)。LncRNA MEG3通过miR-424-5p靶向调控FoxO1表达(P < 0.05)。在体内,AS小鼠颈主动脉中LncRNA MEG3、FoxO1 mRNA和蛋白表达升高,而miR-424-5p、NOS3、VEGFA和CXCL12蛋白表达下调;同时AS病变面积增加,血管再内皮化受到抑制(P < 0.05)。沉默LncRNA MEG3后可改善上述AS小鼠的典型特征。

结论

沉默LncRNA MEG3通过调控miR-424-5p/FoxO1促进HUVECs增殖和血管生成,抑制细胞凋亡,减轻AS。

Objective

To explore the role and potential mechanism of LncRNA MEG3 in developing atherosclerosis (AS) .

Methods

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was used to induce the endothelial cell injury model. The experiment was divided into a control group, ox-LDL group, ox-LDL+sh-NC group, ox-LDL+sh-MEG3 group, ox-LDL+sh-MEG3+in-miR-424-5p group, ox-LDL+sh-MEG3+oe-FoxO1 group. The expression levels of LncRNA MEG3, miR-424-5p and FoxO1 mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR; CCK-8 and EdU methods were used to detect cell proliferation; apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; angiogenesis was detected by tubule formation assay; the levels of FoxO1 protein, angiogenesis related proteins NOS3, VEGFA and CXCL12 were determined by Western blot; dual luciferase assay detection of LncRNA MEG3 and miR-424-5p target relationship. The AS mouse model was established, and oil red O staining was used to detect the area of AS lesions in mice; Evans blue staining was used to evaluate the degree of vascular re-endothelialization. The t-test was used for comparison between two groups; the one-way analysis of variance was used for multiple groups, and the SNK-q test was used for further pairwise comparison.

Results

Compared with the control group, LncRNA MEG3 expression (2.35±0.24 vs 1.03±0.04) , FoxO1 mRNA and protein levels, and apoptosis rate were increased after ox-LDL group (P < 0.05) ; miR-424-5p expression (0.37±0.05 vs 1.03±0.08) , cell viability, number of EdU positive cells, the number of tubule branching, NOS3, VEGFA and CXCL12 protein levels were all decreased (P < 0.05) . Compared with the ox-LDL+sh-NC group, LncRNA MEG3 expression, FoxO1 mRNA and protein levels and cell apoptosis rate in ox-LDL+sh-MEG3 group decreased (P < 0.05) ; miR-424-5p expression (P < 0.05) , cell viability, number of EdU positive cells, number of tubule branching and protein levels of NOS3, VEGFA and CXCL12 were all increased (P < 0.05) . Inhibition of miR-424-5p or overexpression of FoxO1 partially reversed the effect of LncRNA MEG3 silencing on ox-LDL-stimulated HUVECs (P < 0.05) . LncRNA MEG3 regulated FoxO1 expression by targeting miR-424-5p (P < 0.05) . In vivo, LncRNA MEG3, FoxO1 mRNA and protein expression were elevated in the carotid aorta of AS mice, while miR-424-5p, NOS3, VEGFA and CXCL12 protein expression was down-regulated. The plaque area of AS was increased, and vascular reendothelialization was inhibited (P < 0.05) . Silencing of LncRNA MEG3 partly reversed the typical characteristics of AS mice.

Conclusion

Silencing LncRNA MEG3 attenuates AS by promoting the proliferation and angiogenesis of HUVECs and inhibiting cell apoptosis through regulating miR-424-5p/FoxO1.
