Abstract

MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been found to promote cell proliferation and survival. It has also been shown to exhibit an increased expression in a number of forms of cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanisms underlying the involvement of miR-21 in atherosclerosis remain to be elucidated. In the present study, it was demonstrated that miR-21 was upregulated in a time-dependent manner in response to high-concentration glucose stimulation in Raw 264.7 macrophages. High concentrations of glucose induce macrophage apoptosis. miR-21-inhibited macrophages treated with a normal concentration of glucose exhibited increased levels of cell apoptosis and augmented levels of activated caspase-3, while cells treated with an miR-21 inhibitor and a high concentration of glucose, revealed significantly increased levels of apoptosis. In addition, inhibition of miR-21 increased mRNA and protein levels of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), which, by contrast, were reduced in miR-21-inhibited cells that had been treated with a high concentration of glucose. In conclusion, miR-21 is sensitive to high-concentration glucose treatment in macrophages, and appears to have a protective effect in macrophage apoptosis induced by high concentrations of gluco...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
