PG - 29082 LID - 10.1038/srep29082 [doi] LID - 29082 AB - miRs (microRNAs, miRNAs) intricately regulate physiological and pathological processes. Although miR-7a/b protects against cardiomyocyte injury in ischemia/reperfusion injury, the function of miR-7a/b in myocardial infarction (MI)-induced cardiac remodeling remains unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the function of miR-7a/b in post-MI remodeling in a mouse model and to determine the underlying mechanisms involved. miR-7a/b overexpression improved cardiac function, attenuated cardiac remodeling and reduced fibrosis and apoptosis, whereas miR-7a/b silencing caused the opposite effects. Furthermore, miR-7a/b overexpression suppressed specific protein 1 (Sp1) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1) expression both in vivo and in vitro, and a luciferase reporter activity assay showed that miR-7a/b could directly bind to Sp1. Mithramycin, an inhibitor of the DNA binding activity of Sp1, effectively repressed PARP-1 and caspase-3, whereas knocking down miR-7a/b partially counteracted these beneficial effects. Additionally, an immunoprecipitation assay indicated that hypoxia triggered activation of the binding activity of Sp1 to the promoters of PARP-1 and caspase-3, which is abrogated by miR-7a/b. In summary, these findings identified miR-7a/b as protectors of cardiac remodeling and hypoxia-induced injury in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts involving Sp1 and PARP-1.
