Abstract:
:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that control expression of complementary target mRNAs. A growing number of miRNAs has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiac diseases, mostly based not on functional data, but on the observation that they are dysregulated in diseased myocardium. Consequently, our knowledge regarding a potential cardiac role of the majority of miRNAs is limited. Here, we report the development of an assay format that allows the simultaneous analysis of several hundred molecules with regard to their phenotypic effect on primary rat cardiomyocytes. Using automated microscopy and an edge detection algorithm, this assay achieved high reproducibility and a robust assessment of cardiomyocyte size as a key parameter. Screening a library of synthetic miRNAs revealed several miRNAs previously not recognized as pro- or anti-hypertrophic. Out of these, we selected nine miRNAs and confirmed the pro-hypertrophic potential of miR-22, miR-30c, miR-30d, miR-212, miR-365 and the anti-hypertrophic potential of miR-27a, miR-27b and miR-133a. Quantitative analysis of the expression level of pro-hypertrophic miRNAs in primary cardiomyocytes indicated a rather low level of correlation of the phenotypic effects of individual miRNAs and their expression level. This assay allows the automated determination of cell size in primary cardiomyocytes and permitted the identification of a set of miRNAs capable of regulating cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Elucidating their mechanism of action should provide insight into mechanisms underlying the cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Possible Editorial'.
