文题释义:

微小RNA:肿是内源性的非编码单链小RNA,它通过与靶基因mRNA 3’UTR区域结合,引起mRNA降解或阻止其翻译从而调控基因表达。一个miRNA可以调控众多基因的表达,几个miRNA也可以组合来精细调控某个基因的表达。据报道目前总共有16,772个miRNA,miRNAs几乎参与了每一个生物学过程。
心肌细胞:又称心肌纤维,有横纹,受植物性神经支配,属于有横纹的不随意肌,具有兴奋收缩的能力。呈短圆柱形,有分支,其细胞核位于细胞中央,一般只有一个。各心肌纤维分支的末端可相互连接构成肌纤维网。广义的心肌细胞包括组成窦房结、房内束、房室交界部、房室束(即希斯束)和浦肯野纤维等的特殊分化了的心肌细胞,以及一般的心房肌和心室肌工作细胞。

 

背景:既往研究发现,miR-25在向心肌分化的P19细胞中的表达水平显著低于其在未分化的P19细胞中的表达水平,但是其对心脏发育的影响及其机制尚不明确。
目的:探索miR-25对P19细胞向心肌细胞分化的影响及其机制。
方法:体外培养P19细胞并向心肌细胞诱导分化。通过实时反转录PCR检测miR-25在向心肌分化的和未分化的P19细胞中的表达水平。通过脂质体转染构建miR-25过表达的P19细胞,观察miR-25对P19细胞向心肌细胞分化的影响。通过miRNA靶基因预测数据库预测miR-25的靶基因,并利用荧光素酶报告基因实验检测miR-25对Pax3的靶向作用,沉默Pax3,观察Pax3对P19细胞向心肌细胞分化的影响。

结果与结论:miR-25在分化的P19细胞中表达水平较低。miR-25过表达能够促进P19细胞向心肌细胞分化。靶基因预测分析Pax3为miR-25潜在的靶基因,荧光素酶实验进一步证实Pax3是miR-25的直接靶点,Pax3沉默促进P19细胞向心肌细胞分化。提示miR-25通过靶向Pax3促进P19细胞向心肌细胞分化,为心脏发育以及先天性心脏病的防治提供新的线索和理论依据。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that the expression level of miR-25 in differentiated P19 cells is significantly lower than that in undifferentiated P19 cells. However, the effect of miR-25 on cardiomyogenesis and the relevant mechanism remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of miR-25 on the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes.
METHODS: P19 cells were cultured and differentiated into cardiomyocytes in vitro. The expression of miR-25 in differentiated and undifferentiated P19 cells was detected by real-time PCR. miR-25-overexpressing P19 cells were constructed by lipofection transfection, and were used to investigate the effect of miR-25 on the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes. MicroRNA target analysis tools were used to explore potential targets of miR-25, and dual luciferase reporter assay was used to identify whether the 3’UTR of Pax3 mRNA was a binding target of miR-25. In addition, we transfected P19 cells with Pax3 shRNAs to silence the expression of Pax3, and investigated the effect of Pax3 on the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Expression level of miR-25 in differentiated P19 cells was obviously down-regulated compared with that in undifferentiated P19 cells. miR-25 overexpression promoted the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes. By target prediction analysis, we confirmed that Pax3 was a potential target gene of miR-25. Luciferase assay further confirmed that miR-25 targeted Pax3 directly. Moreover, knockdown of Pax3 promoted the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes. Taken together, miR-25 promotes the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiomyocytes by targeting Pax3. These findings offer new clues and theoretical basis for cardiomyogenesis and prevention and cure of congenital heart disease.
