Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the pathological process of liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. MiR-449b-5p is the target miRNA of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Its role and molecular mechanism in liver I/R injury remain unidentified. In this study, we found a protective effect of miR-449b-5p against hepatic I/R injury. HMGB1 expression significantly increased, whereas miR-449b-5p dramatically decreased in patients after liver transplant and in L02 cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). A dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct interaction between miR-449b-5p and the 3' untranslated region of HMGB1 messenger RNA. We also found that overexpression of miR-449b-5p significantly promoted cell viability and inhibited cell apoptosis of L02 cells exposed to H/R. Moreover, miR-449b-5p repressed HMGB1 protein expression and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway activation in these L02 cells. In an in vivo rat model of hepatic I/R injury, overexpression of miR-449b-5p significantly decreased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase and inhibited the HMGB1/NF-κB pathway. Our study thus suggests that miR-449b-5p alleviated hepatic I/R injury by targeting HMGB1 and deactivating the NF-κB pathway, wh...Continue Reading

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
