Abstract
Myocardial apoptosis plays an important role in doxorubicin (Dox) cardiotoxicity. MicroRNA-29 (miR-29) is suggested to function as an anti-fibrotic factor with potential therapeutic effects on cardiac fibrosis. However, it has not been shown whether there is an association between miR-29b and myocardial apoptosis. Male Wistar rats were transfected with miR-29b agomir by local delivery to the myocardium prior to Dox treatment. Rat cardiomyocytes were pretreated with miR-29b mimics or inhibitor followed by Dox incubation in vitro. Cardiac function and underlying mechanisms were evaluated by echocardiography, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, real-time PCR, and western blotting. Our results revealed that miR-29b is the only member of the miR-29 family that was significantly downregulated in myocardium from Dox-treated rats. Delivery of miR-29b agomir to myocardium resulted in a marked improvement of cardiac function. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining showed that rescue of miR-29b expression inhibited Dox-induced myocardial apoptosis, concomitantly with increased Bcl-2 expression and decreased Bax expression and caspase-3 activity. In vitro, miR-29b overexpression mitigated, whereas inhibition ...Continue Reading
