Abstract:
AIMS:Free fatty acids induce apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, which is implicated in lipotoxic cardiomyopathy. However, the underlying mechanisms remain not fully understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Dysregulated miRNAs have been shown to be involved in heart diseases. This study was to examine whether miR-195 regulates palmitate-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by targeting Sirt1, a known anti-apoptotic protein. METHODS AND RESULTS:In cultured neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes, palmitate up-regulated miR-195 expression, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and induced apoptosis as determined by up-regulation of caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation. Inhibition of miR-195 decreased ROS production and apoptosis in palmitate-stimulated cardiomyocytes. In contrast, a miR-195 mimic enhanced palmitate-induced ROS production and apoptosis. The induction of miR-195 correlated with a reduction in Sirt1 and Bcl-2. We further showed that miR-195 targeted and inhibited Sirt1 expression through two target sites located in the 3' un-translational region of Sirt1 mRNA. In concordance, inhibition of miR-195 increased Sirt1 protein in cardiomyocytes whereas the miR-195 mimic reduced it. Activation of Sirt1 or overexpression of Bcl-2 inhibited palmitate-induced apoptosis. On the other hand, inhibition of Sirt1 enhanced apoptosis. The inhibitory effect of Sirt1 on apoptosis was associated with a reduction in ROS. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates a pro-apoptotic role of miR-195 in cardiomyocytes and identifies Sirt1 as a direct target of miR-195. The effect of miR-195 on apoptosis is mediated through down-regulation of Sirt1 and Bcl-2 and ROS production. Thus, miR-195 may be a new therapeutic target for lipotoxic cardiomyopathy.
