Abstract:
:Current studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have shown that miR-125b promotes fibrosis and up-regulates in cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), and further experiments showed that circ_LAS1L had multiple binding sites of miR-125b, and their expression was inversely related in AMI patients and CFs. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), pull down, and dual luciferase reporter gene assay all confirmed that miR-125b directly bound to circ_LAS1L. Circ_LAS1L overexpression promoted the expression of downstream target gene secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), inhibited the expression of alpha-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III, inhibited CF proliferation and migration, and promoted apoptosis. When cotransfected with circ_LAS1L overexpression vector and miR-125b mimics, the above gene expression and CF biological behaviours did not change significantly. But when cotransfected with circ_LAS1L overexpression vector and SFRP5 siRNA, SFRP5 expression was still down-regulated, the expression of alpha-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III was up-regulated, and the proliferation and migration of CFs were increased. Therefore, circ_LAS1L inhibits the activity of miR-125b by adsorbing it, thus promoting the expression of SFRP5 and then regulating the biological characteristics of CFs. These findings may provide an important experimental basis for the regulation of myocardial fibrosis after myocardial infarction. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: Studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in cardiovascular diseases, but there are few studies on their roles in the process of myocardial fibrosis. In this study, we found that circ_LAS1L was down-regulated in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), and could bind directly to miR-125b, thereby promoting the expression of downstream target gene secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), ultimately inhibiting the activation, proliferation and migration of CF, and promoting apoptosis. This suggests that circ_LAS1L/miR-125b/SFRP5 pathway can regulate the biological function of CF and may play an important role in the process of myocardial fibrosis, thus providing an important theoretical basis for the regulation of myocardial fibrosis after myocardial infarction.
